Bio

After graduating with an Education degree in 2010, I became NYS Certified to teach Social Studies. Since then I have worked throughout the country with students ages K-12 on a variety of subjects. At my last job in Fairbanks, AK I ran a School Age Programs Department that specialized in After-School Programs and K-12 tutoring services. I became a teacher because I love being a part of the "lightbulb moment," when all the student's hard work pays off and they "get it."

After graduating with an Education degree in 2010, I became NYS Certified to teach Social Studies. Since then I have worked throughout the country with students ages K-12 on a variety of subjects. At my last job in Fairbanks, AK I ran a School Age Programs Department that specialized in After-School Programs and K-12 tutoring services. I became a teacher because I love being a part of the "lightbulb moment," when all the student's hard work pays off and they "get it."

As a student, despite loving math today, I struggled with the subject. I know what it is to have to work hard to get it. I also know that every student has a different way of best understanding a concept. I am good at finding ways to relate the subject to the student in order to facilitate understanding.

I am a playful and enthusiastic person. I love learning and I maintain the excitement for learning that I first experienced in elementary school. I also enjoy spreading that excitement and finding ways to make learning fun.

I graduated as a History and Education major from college with a 3.85 GPA. I have taught World History courses including Global Studies 1 and 2 and Holocaust Studies.

I am eager to help students in any way I can. Please feel free to contact me if I can provide you with any more information!

Great Tutor for My Fifth Graders!

Kristin has been helping my twin daughters for several months now in all of their subjects, with an emphasis on math. Both girls have ADD and generally find it difficult to focus, but Kristin through her patience and creative learning ideas is able to help them achieve at a much higher level. I have been very pleased with her tutoring and strongly recommend her services.

Patient and Kind Tutor!

Kristin has infinite patience and kindness. Her sense of humor made it less stressful for my daughter to learn math. She was on time and demonstrated a good mastery of math. She is a truly gifted teacher who really cares about her students.
