Kristen: Salt Lake County tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a recent graduate of Duke University in Durham, NC where I obtained my Bachelor's of Science degree in Mathematics and Economics with a concentration in Finance and a French minor. I am originally from Rock Hill, SC, but I am a new Financial Analyst at IBM in Armonk, NY. I was a Calculus I and II tutor through the Academic Resource Center at Duke for two years, and I developed much experience in this role. I learned that in order to be an effective tutor, the I must not only teach the materials learned in a clear manner, but must also be able to teach beneficial study habits for the student to apply throughout his or her coursework.

I am a very analytic person with a diverse learning background. I have learned many disciplines, and thus I am a tutor for a wide range of subjects in Mathematics, Economics, and French up to the level of French II. Math has been a passion of mine since I was able to count, and my interest my other subjects of knowledge have developed over the years.

Outside of academics, I am a musician. I have played percussion from sixth grade and throughout college, and I hope to continue this passion in a more informal setting. I played snare drum on the drumline throughout high school and college, and that was a major highlight of my educational experience. I also enjoy arts and crafts, running, and exploring New York City.
