About Kiersten
Experience: 10 yrs
I am an experienced educator with over 28 years of teaching experience and hold both my bachelor's and master's degrees from Western Washington University. I have taught students from preschool through 8th grade and currently serve as a middle school Literacy Intervention Specialist. I specialize in reading, writing, and literacy intervention and have extensive experience supporting neurodiverse learners, including students with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and other learning differences. My approach emphasizes strong relationships, individualized instruction, and research-based strategies that build skills, confidence, and a love of learning. Outside of teaching, I enjoy hiking, traveling, and spending time with my rescue pit bull, Lottie, and my Frenchton, Arnie.
Most recent review
We had the pleasure of having Kiersten work individually with our son during his 7th and 8th grade years, and we are incredibly grateful for the support and expertise she provided. She has specific knowledge and experience working with students with dyslexia and ADHD, and she understands how to tailor instruction to meet the unique needs of each student. One of the things we appreciated most was her individualized approach. She uses data to carefully design lessons based on each student’s specific needs, strengths, and areas for growth. Her instruction was thoughtful, purposeful, and focused on helping our son build both his reading skills and his confidence. She is a caring, patient, and dedicated educator who works diligently to help her students succeed. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our son and wanted to see him make progress. Her expertise, compassion, and commitment made a meaningful difference in his education. We would highly recommend Kiersten any family looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated reading specialist, especially for students with dyslexia or ADHD.
