Kristy

My journey in education began in Georgia, where I completed my undergraduate studies, and continued in Florida, where I became a certified teacher. Throughout my career, I have specialized in tutoring all subjects related to reading, English Language Arts (ELA), and writing. I strive to create engaging, supportive learning environments that inspire safety, confidence, and curiosity. My goal is not only to strengthen students' academic skills but also to foster a genuine appreciation for literature and self-expression. Outside of academics, I enjoy reading, snuggling with my two rescue puppers, attending to my growing collection of plants, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, and indulging in the occasional well-deserved nap. I believe that balance in life nurtures both creativity and productivity. I am excited to bring my expertise, enthusiasm, and personal approach to Varsity Tutors, where I look forward to empowering students to achieve their fullest potential in reading and beyond.
