Kristen Tutoring
About
I am a certified elementary teacher taking time out of the classroom to be with my children. I worked over 8 years in the classroom (6 years in grade 4 and 2 years in middle school SS). I love teaching math, reading, and science and have helped many students improve their skills and confidence in the classroom and in private tutoring sessions. I have worked with a wide ranges of abilities and I am comfortable assessing student needs and tailoring lessons to helps address their growth areas.
I love helping students build confidence in themselves as they master something that's been a challenger to them. I am a firm believer in positive attitude and growth mindset.
