A Little About Me & Creating Einsteins...
I am Kristi L. Dupre, owner and operator of Creating Einsteins. I am an educator at heart! Teaching has always been a love of mine, and I enjoy sharing my love of learning with my students. I have been blessed with valuable learning opportunities and experiences by working in the private, public, and charter school systems. Through these opportunities and experiences, I have helped struggling learners grow and work to their full potential. I have been able to fill learning gaps by building a sense of confidence in my students and by helping them realize "I can do hard things!"
I welcome the opportunity to help your learner become more confident, excited, and successful on their learning journey. I work with you, your learner, their teacher, and their professional learning team through the intervention process and keep you abreast of challenges and successes throughout the journey. If you are interested in learning more about what I can offer your learner, please complete the form at the bottom of this site, and I will respond within 24 hours.

Struggling LEARNER... Could it be dyslexia?
"Dyslexia is a different brain organization that needs different teaching methods. It is never the fault of the child, but rather the responsibility of us who teach to find methods that work for that child."
