About Kristen
Check out my FB Page: (concealed information) for information about me and lots of parent reviews!
I teach with a truly individualized plan for each student rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. What works for one student may not work for another. Some students learn best with visual cues, others with auditory cues, some with music, others with movement or tactile cues. I incorporate a variety of teaching methods, depending on what is most successful for each individual student.
Following each session, I provide parents with a report of what we worked on, what successes the student made, and tips on how they can reinforce the learning at home.
I love helping children develop a true love of learning! Helping young children become confident readers, writers, and mathematicians brings me joy. It is particularly rewarding to be able to work one-on-one with students because I can cater to their individual needs and see progress more quickly.
I have a Bachelor degree in Psychology from Furman University and a Master of Arts (plus 30) in Teaching from University of South Carolina. I obtained a SC Teacher's Certification in Special Education (K-12th) and Early Childhood Education.
I taught for 5 years in an elementary self-contained Special Education classroom, 9 years in a Preschool/Kindergarten classroom, and 4 years in a 1st grade classroom.
I tutored students throughout my college years and my career as a teacher in a variety of one-on-one settings. I have tutored full time for the last 4 years.

I typically request any previous assessments, report cards, and/or information from teachers to give me an idea of the student's strengths and weaknesses. On the first session with the student, I informally assess the student to get baseline data and gain insight on the child's learning style and academic needs. Then I develop an individualized plan for teaching the child and modify it as needed throughout the tutoring sessions.
I have worked with a variety of students, including nonverbal severely mentally disabled children and adults, children with autism, typically developing children, and gifted elementary-aged students

I cannot speak highly enough about the impact that Kristen has had on my girls. After changing schools, both were behind and my younger daughter was particularly struggling with reading skills. Kristen worked with both of them and they are now performing at/above expectations across the board. Kristen goes above and beyond to make a customized plan for each child. Most importantly, she works with them in a way that is fun and engaging. My girls always look forward to their weekly visits with Kristen, and are laughing and in good spirits when I pick them up. Kristen has a real gift for making learning fun while achieving real and measurable results.
Ms. Kristen is a wonderful tutor I highly recommend! She is patient but firm, and truly teaches the child- far beyond what is taught in the classroom — I’ve been very impressed. Ms. Kristen seems to acknowledge the commitment that tutoring is, not only for the child, but for the parent(s)as well, and keeps the child on task, which I appreciate. My daughter’s grades have gone up noticeably since working with Ms. Kristen. Finally, Ms. Kristen is very communicative with the parent and gives reports following each session which I find so important and helpful.
Our child has been a student in both “Ms. Kristen’s” classroom and as a tutoring student. My DH and I feel that her professionalism and ability to relate to our child is exemplary. She is organized, enthusiastic, and our child comes away from each session with a renewed love for learning and an eagerness to return for the next session. Our child’s focus and grades have also improved at school since tutoring sessions began. We are fortunate to have her as a tutor, and could not recommend her more highly.
