Kristi has been teaching in Alberta for over 5 years, and tutoring and coaching since the beginning of her education career in 2011. She has taught a wide variety of courses from grades 7-12, including Junior and Senior High ELA, Computers and Coding, Junior and Senior Mathematics, Junior High Art and Senior High Psychology.

Kristi has wanted to teach since she was inspired by her grade 8 Junior High English teacher who inspired a creativity and a curiosity about learning that changed the way she thought about education. Having a few exceptional teachers who worked to make learning and education something that held passion, fun, enjoyment, and a sense of individuality in her own learning experience fundamentally changed how she viewed learning. Learning that involves the whole person, their strengths, interests, and mental wellness became something that Kristi is passionate about fostering in each student she teaches.

It was Kristi’s passion for working with students with learning difficulties that led her to find a position working with Kaizen. Helping students to strengthen their own unique learning style is something that Kristi has been passionate about since she started working one-on-one with students in 2014. She is excited to use her experience, knowledge, and professional development around Youth and Brain Development to build up her student’s skills and unique abilities, and encourage in them a growth and a love for learning.

“The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.”
