My name is Kris Dougherty. I have spent the past ten years tutoring, coaching, and acting as an educational consultant/parent advocate at IEP meetings. As a former sixth grade teacher in Jefferson County I have taught all subject areas. Since leaving the classroom my primary focus has been working with middle and high school students as a tutor, academic/life coach, and special education advocate.
Of primary importance to me is adapting my teaching/coaching style to meet the needs of you or your student. This is often not an option in a traditional classroom setting. My years of experience have taught me that many students find success in the classroom through alternative instructional methods or with specific support. I believe that adolescents and young adults are full of potential and have a lot to offer society given support and encouragement.
I possess a strong background in working with students, both adolescents and adults, who are attention different, gifted, learning disabled, or with other needs. I hold a B.A. in Psychology (1992) and a M.A. in Information and Learning Technologies (2001) from the University of Colorado at Denver. I completed my Teacher Certification Program through Metro State College of Denver (1998) and I am a Licensed Professional Teacher in Colorado. I am currently pursuing a M.A. in Psychology at Regis University with an emphasis in Adolescent Development and Teen Life Coaching.
I look forward to hearing from you and please contact me with any questions.
