Students will be taught strategies on how to learn the meaning of new vocabulary words. These strategies will be a lot more fun and way more effective than the typical methods used. The topics I will cover include: How memorization works and the best strategies for memorizing in general The exact technique students can use to memorize vocabulary words in seconds 5 new behaviors students should adopt if they want to expand their vocabulary My class will be very interactive in nature. The class will start out as a lecture but I like to break up the lecture by sharing visuals and asking the students questions to ensure they are engaged. The class will also include a very engaging activity. This activity will give the students an opportunity to reflect on their current method for remembering vocabulary and how ineffective it is. I will then show students the BEST way to learn challenging vocabulary words. This activity is designed to keep students excited about learning and is designed to motivate them to study. I will teach by sharing slides, lecturing, asking questions, and providing visuals. My teaching style is to make sure the students are engaged, feel supported and safe, and inspired. I am very understanding and patient and try to adapt to each student's needs as best as I can. Learners will interact with me throughout the class. I make an effort to engage each and every student and try to ensure everyone has had an opportunity to participate. I do this by prompting discussion through questions, activities, video clips and slides. No prior experience or knowledge is needed.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Kristina and I’m from New York City. I received a Bachelor's Degree from Boston College and a Masters Degree in Organizational Psychology from Columbia University. As a graduate of the Organizational Psychology Masters program at Columbia University, I studied what motivates people and how to get people to perform at the highest level.
I am very passionate about creating moments of personal growth for children. I find fulfillment in teaching them real world skills that will have a lasting impact on their lives.
Prior to venturing out as a teacher, I started a career in Financial Services at Goldman Sachs and Bank of America. Working on Wall Street taught me life skills like the art of personal branding, networking, mastering interviews, productivity and time management, and seeking mentorship. I’m an avid reader and lover of personal development. I also have a passion for psychology. Other passions include travel, soccer, swimming, salsa dancing, and Social Media management.
As an educator, I feel it is my responsibility to instill a love of life long learning within the children I teach! I absolutely love kids! I try to make every class fun and exciting! My goal is always to have kids walking away feeling pumped and empowered. I’ve had a lot of diverse teaching experiences with kids. I started as a swim instructor for children ages 3 -12 years old.
Today, I teach English to students in China. I have a TEFL certificate and have experience teaching online through various online platforms.
When I’m not teaching, I love to travel and explore new places and cultures. My hope is to maintain a well balanced lifestyle so that I can be a well rounded educator for students.
I am so excited to expand my reach through Outschool and meet your children! If you have any thoughts about a class you wish I would offer or a time you hope I can schedule a session, please send me a message. All of my best teaching ideas have come directly from my students as we learn and explore together.
