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.
