About Kristen

Experience: 10 yrs

I've worked with a number of students in various grade levels tutoring a variety of subjects. I've also worked with international students, specifically in English, to help them not just prepare for their US college entrance exams but, to help them truly understand the English language enough to excel in their college courses. I've got my substitute certification and I regularly am in a classroom, most days of the week actually, teaching a variety of subjects which has given me the tools to be an even better tutor to students in all grade levels, and all subjects.

Kristen is great at getting to know the level that her student is at, and creating a development plan. She helped our student with English (writing/reading), grammar, and punctuation. Her scores improved drastically in just a couple of months. Kristen knows her stuff and knows how to connect with her student!
