About Kristopher

Bio

I have been a certified teacher for eleven years, teaching a mixture of third- and fourth-grade students, and most recently, sixth grade. However, for four years previous to that, I substitute taught in all grades and volunteered a couple times a week in a fifth-grade classroom, helping with math, social studies, and language arts.

Besides my elementary education degree, I have a bachelor's degree in English, with an emphasis in technical writing. I have been previously employed as a writer...

I have been a certified teacher for eleven years, teaching a mixture of third- and fourth-grade students, and most recently, sixth grade. However, for four years previous to that, I substitute taught in all grades and volunteered a couple times a week in a fifth-grade classroom, helping with math, social studies, and language arts.

Besides my elementary education degree, I have a bachelor's degree in English, with an emphasis in technical writing. I have been previously employed as a writer for a newspaper and as an assistant editor for a magazine.

I specialize in finding innovative ways to teach. One thing I do especially well is make up mnemonic devices in the form of short songs. A couple examples are a parts of speech song I wrote and a song about rounding numbers.

I am also endorsed in gifted education and ESL.

Because I run interventions in my classroom for language arts and for math, I have a wealth of resources at my disposal.

Thank you for your consideration!

Approved Subjects

Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I have a current Utah teaching license. I teach third grade and currently have a student teacher.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I teach elementary math every day in my classroom. What better person to tutor than someone who is immersed in it every day, helping students of all levels become successful? I also teach math interventions twice a week, meaning I work at a remedial level with students constantly. I know how to adjust to a particular student's pace.
English

English

I have a bachelor's degree in English with a technical writing emphasis. My classes included American literature, British literature, grammar, indexing, and technical emphases. I also have professional experience, working as a writer for a newspaper and an editor for a magazine.
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I have an endorsement in ESL from the Northern Utah Curriculum Consortium. I have ESL students in my class nearly every year. I know how it works.
General Music

General Music

I teach piano lessons. I have played the piano for 26 years now. I also play the organ for my local church congregation. I have also appeared in small-town productions of shows in which I had a small singing part.
Phonics

Phonics

As a third-grade teacher, I focus on making sure all my students become proficient in phonics. Most students have developed phonics skills by third grade, but I have some of the slower learning kids who still struggle with it. So I know how to teach it in a step-by-step, structured manner.
Piano

Piano

I've played the piano for 26 years now. I also teach piano to one student...just a neighborhood contact.
Praxis

Praxis

I took the Praxis (both the essay and the multiple choice) and attained the level that earned me a certificate for being in the top 15 percent of scorers.
Study Skills

Study Skills

Teachers know how to research and organize. I'd be happy to impart of my knowledge to someone who needs help with study skills.

Helped Me Pass

Kristopher is a great tutor! He was very friendly and patient with me. He answered all of the questions that I had about the Praxis and made me feel more confident about taking the test. He also went over and refreshed my memory of all basic math concepts that were needed on the test. In the end, I felt comfortable, and confident about the test, and passed!

Great

He was super nice. He taught me how to do things in an easier manner and faster which is very helpful on praxis. Also good at showing how to get answers in a way that's easy to remember.
