PHILOSOPHY
Hi all you eager learners out there! I'm Kristen Bennett and my outlook to learning is to make mistakes, explore different strategies, ask "why," and above all - have FUN! 

BACKGROUND
I hold a California Teaching Certification in Mathematics Education (grades 6-12), and a Masters Degree in Mathematics Education K-8.  I have extensive experience teaching in US public schools, and have taught for the last four years at top-level international schools in Tokyo, Japan. 

In 2020, I decided to change my primary role as a teacher in the classroom, to being a full-time mom to take care of my two daughters. After making an international move from Tokyo back to the United States with my family, I realized half of my heart belongs to being a teacher and supporting the growth of eager learners like you. Outschool happened to be a great platform to enable me to do that. 

STYLE
My classes focus on making mathematics relevant to you.  I am a non-traditional teacher.  I use research-based methods that encourage discourse, problem solving, engagement and critical thinking.  The activities chosen are well thought out to ensure they are current, applicable in the real world, and incorporate multiple mathematical skills, instead of "just one".

LET'S GET STARTED!!
I have helped thousands of students all over the world to understand and elevate their knowledge of mathematics. Whether it's to get ahead, catch up , or just prepare for examinations, I welcome and encourage ALL learners to join me in building mathematical confidence you can "count" on!    

Note:  ALL OF THE CLASSES ARE WELCOMED TO REQUEST SCHEDULING.  

So, what are you waiting for? Let's Get Started!!
