"Hello! My name is Kristen! I am a recent graduate of the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Criminology and a Spanish Certificate. I am pursuing a Master's of Science in Secondary Education also at UPenn and have taken several courses on learning and development in students of all ages. I have also worked in several tutoring and mentoring capacities for several years, working with students of all ages. I truly love working with children in academic capacities, helping to show them how fun learning can be!

I specialize in elementary and secondary tutoring in all subjects; math, science, social studies and especially English/language arts. Additionally, I know that higher math can be scary, but I am confident in my ability to assess whatever challenges your student may be having and provide a concrete solution. One of the most important exams a Junior or Senior will take is the SAT or ACT and I can work one on one with your student to boos their score significantly, helping them to focus on strategies to succeed on the sections that generally trouble them. I think because of my age and experience, I relate well to children of all ages, whether its a second grader struggling with subtraction or an 11th grader having difficulty with Algebra 2. I connect well with each student individually, establish a rapport and boost their confidence in their academic abilities. Especially during exam periods, which I know can be very stressful, I am confident in my ability to help and motivate!" less...
