About Krista
Experience: 1 yr
I have a PhD in genetics and two years of experience teaching and tutoring college students. I also have a long history of work with learners of various ages from running events with girl scouts and school affiliated aftercare programs. I focus on building confidence and fostering a genuine love for learning rather than simple memorization. I help students master Math, English, Science, and Test Preparation by breaking complex problems into manageable steps. By actively listening and observing how you interact with new material, I adapt my methods to suit your unique needs. I believe open communication is essential to building the trust required for academic growth. Whether we meet at your home, the library, or a center, I am committed to developing your critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Seeing your confidence grow as you master new challenges is the most rewarding part of my work, and I look forward to supporting your success journey.
Most recent review
Krista is a kind hearted, trustworthy, hardworking, and nurturing person. She is dependable. Krista finds joy in helping her community and those around her. She has previously taught swimming to elementary aged children and is a lover of all animals. Krista recently graduated with her PhD and is very knowledgeable in the field of science and academic writing. I myself as a special education teacher/nanny, trust Krista to provide excellent care and tutoring for children. I also know she has the patience, love, and stamina to care for the most hyper puppies to the calmest cats.
