TEAM MEMBER

Kristen joins Amore Learning with twelve years experience in a Bethesda elementary school as a teacher in Kindergarten, First grade and as an enrichment instructor. Kristen has spent the last eight years working one-on-one as a tutor to private and parochial school students and has found herself in the classrooms of every grade from Pre-K to 8th as a substitute teacher. 

She specializes in the Orton Gillingham approach to reading instruction, having completed the program and receiving her certification. Kristen prides herself on her appreciation of different styles of learning and considers perhaps her greatest teaching achievement the building of literacy skills in struggling readers. 

When she’s not tutoring, she devotes her time to her husband Eric and their four sons. And when she’s not with her family, her free time is usually spent in one form of physical activity or another, and almost always outdoors or in a yoga studio. 

A native Washingtonian, Kristen graduated Georgetown Visitation high school, received a degree in Economics from Rollins College, and then went on to complete her masters degree in Administration.
