Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from Virginia Commonwealth University
Welcome! I am so excited that you are here. My name is Kristen and I live in Richmond, VA, U.S.A. I received a Bachelors of Science degree from Virginia Tech and a Masters of Teaching degree from Virginia Commonwealth University. I currently hold a Virginia state teaching license for grades Pre K-6. I have 9 years experience teaching 3rd/4th grades in Virginia public schools. Prior to receiving my Masters degree, I taught and created curriculum for the Science Museum of Virginia. I also currently teach ESL through an online platform to children all over the world.
I firmly believe that children have an innate desire to learn and that they need many opportunities to explore their world in a safe and loving environment that is developmentally appropriate for them. I believe children learn by doing, making discoveries, forming connections, experimenting, and actively-engaging in experiences that are interest-driven and child-led. I believe that it is my role as educator to provide those types of opportunities for students; especially through an online platform!
I stepped away from teaching in the classroom once I started my family. I am now the mom to three sweet boys ages: 6, 4, and 1. We love going hiking, spending time in the Chesapeake Bay and the Outer Banks, going on daily walks, and Friday night pizza parties.
I understand how maintaining social interactions, and continuing exposure to new ideas and activities is a priority for parents. Outschool is a great place to start! My children take weekly classes from a variety of teachers. It has been a wonderful and rewarding experience for them.
I look forward to meeting your child and being a part of his/her educational journey. See you in the classroom!
