About Kirsten
I am a private educator, experienced in homeschooling gifted students and tutoring students with learning disabilities, including dyslexia and ADHD. As a tutor, I seek to develop an open and trusting relationship with my students to create a friendly environment where learning can take place. I believe every student can grow and improve. My teaching method involves finding my students' learning styles, as well as their strengths and weaknesses. For phonics and reading instruction, I utilize both Lindamood-Bell and Orton Gillingham techniques. As a writing tutor, I focus on establishing pre-writing and organizational skills to help make the writing process easier. My students make an interactive notebook of writing activities that also serves as a reference book for future writing assignments. For math, I help students build and strengthen foundational skills, such as place value, base ten number system, and math facts, in order to be able to grow in mathematical understanding.
I started teaching and homeschooling my own children. After writing stories for children and helping my children find their way through college and beyond, I decided to return to work in the school system.
I have a B.A in English: Creative Writing. I have been trained and certified in the Lindamood-Bell instructional methods for phonics, spelling, and reading comprehension.
I am also experienced in teaching children with dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning challenges, as well as gifted students.

On my first visit with a new student, I like to play a get-to-know-you game to break the ice. I also like to ask my students what they hope to learn in tutoring and what they like best in and out of school. Once they are comfortable, I will assess their current levels of understanding in the subject I'm tutoring and see where their strengths and weaknesses are.
I have mainly worked with both elementary and middle school students. My students range from strong readers and writers to those with dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, anxiety, and more. I find that they all have strengths and room to grow.
I would advise a student looking for a tutor to find someone they feel can help them reach their full potential.
I am fond of recently witnessing one of my students exclaim, "I can't wait to read more to find out what happens next! I've never wanted to read a book until now."
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Students should think about what they hope to achieve through tutoring and how they think they can improve.
