Kirsten's Math Tutoring

When working with a new student, I typically reach out to the family and student to introduce myself and get to know the student. I like to know their interests, passions, likes, dislikes, ways they learn best, what they look for in myself as an educator, what they'd like to accomplish through tutoring, among many other things. This information allows me to get to know the student and understand how I can help them best achieve their goals. From there, we'll figure out a tutoring schedule and create a plan of the topics we'd like to cover throughout our tutoring time together based on student interests and needs.

I am currently a 4th Grade Math Teacher at Hamilton Intermediate School in Columbus, Ohio. Additionally, I am currently working on my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction, with a Gifted Endorsement, from the University of Cincinnati. 

Last May, I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in Middle Childhood Education from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. I have specialization areas in Math and English Language Arts.  During my time as a pre-service teacher, I worked with students in 1st through 8th grade. I've spent the majority of my education career working with upper elementary students. 

Outside of teaching, I've also had other jobs as a summer camp counselor, tutor, and swim lesson instructor. 

I have a conversation with families to discuss pricing. Pricing depends on the length of time tutoring, if travel is involved, etc. Please reach out to me for specific details on the price!

I grew my love for teaching as a young child. I had always adored my teachers growing up and loved learning at school. As a person who loves working with kids, I decided to pursue my Bachelor's Degree in Education and have loved being a teacher ever since I began my program!

I've worked with students from primary grades to middle school; specifically, grades one through eight. I've had the most experience working with upper elementary students. However, I enjoy working with all elementary school students. 

I would advise you to find a teacher that you connect with and one that is willing to make learning enjoyable for you! Learning is fun! We simply need to figure out what engages you, the ways you learn best, and create experiences that are meaningful to your life! 

Students should consider their areas of strengths and improvements in a given subject area. Students should also consider the ways they learn best and ways they enjoy learning.
