About Kristen
With 18 years of teaching experience, including virtual learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic, I am passionate about providing data-driven instruction to my students. I currently hold a MA professional teaching license for moderate special needs PK-8. I hold a Master's degree in special education with 9 additional graduate-level credits related to the field of education. I am Orton-Gillingham trained and have been successful in utilizing methodologies and teaching practices that have led to improved reading outcomes for students with and without special needs. I am excited to bring my enthusiasm for teaching and learning into a 1:1 environment that allows for more direct engagement with my students and families.

My lessons will be developed and customized to each individual student’s learning style and needs. I will utilize a multi-sensory, systematic approach, while incorporating engaging activities, based on student preferences, that activate curiosity and motivation for learning. I will bring a positive and energetic attitude to each of the sessions and will create an environment where the student feels safe to take risks. I will guide and encourage each student to take ownership and pride in their progress and achievements by developing goal-oriented sessions with time for reflection. I am looking forward to sharing my passion for teaching and to support each student to reach their full potential.

Kristen is amazing; she is so so knowledgeable with a deep understanding of complex learners and an ability to break complex skills into concrete, multisensory, accessible steps. She was such a force for hope at critical junctures in both of my children's reading education. My older daughter has Down syndrome and autism, and her default is to refuse tasks and instructions. Kristen never faltered; she got to know Cori, brought materials specific to her interests, and I saw measurable progress each week. The first time she blended a word I was tearing up with Joy. Susie, my youngest, alo has Down syndrome and is nonverbal. There was a lot of uncertainty at school about how to teach a child who could not verbally sound out words. Kristen dove right in, making materials, fine-tuning her approach as they went, and structuring her sessions with breaks and rewards that kept Susie happy and productive for a full hour. I observed a few of these and Susie was so engaged and excited; she was so proud of herself. By the end of the summer she had made remarkable progress. Kristen brought us hope when we were floundering, and I feel so lucky to have worked with her.
