What Clients Say!
Dr. Andy Wu - Associate Professor, Harvard Business School
"Khriseten Bellows is an exceptional scholar and educator in a category of her own. As a former student of hers, I benefited greatly from her commitment to delivering world-class education inside the classroom and mentoring students towards their personal and professional goals outside the classroom. Ms. Bellows' curriculum design reflects the kind of leading-edge experimentation we need to advance the state of experiential learning that is increasingly the best practice today. And she was already making these contributions over a decade ago. She also served as the mentor for new and young teachers in her department. In that role, she encouraged new teachers to create engaging, rigorous, and multicultural curricula to deepen students' learning and connection to the world beyond the insular walls of the school. Outside the classroom, Ms. Bellows engaged with students one-on-one to help them discover themselves and achieve their potential. Recognizing my budding interest in technology, she reached out to me to connect me with an internship opportunity in a technology startup. That experienced transformed my life and led me to my path today as a researcher, teacher, and advisor of technology businesses. It is very likely I would not be doing what I am doing today if not for Ms. Bellows."
Dr. Gillian Osborne - Writer, Educator, Harvard/ASU Curriculum Specialist
"I write to recommend Khriseten Bellows as an instructor of literature and writing. I have worked closely with Khriseten as a fellow-educator since 2017, when she took over as lead instructor for my courses at the Harvard University's Literature courses during a leave of absence. Since then, we have worked together every semester, and several summers, on many college-level English courses, at Harvard and, since 2020, at Arizona State University. The courses we teach are part of a larger, multi-platform, educational initiative founded by a Harvard English professor. I have worked with Khriseten on all 5 of the courses, in total covering 400 years of American poetry. The pedagogical work of these courses would not be possible without an enthusiastic and talented team of fellow educators, of which Khriseten has been an important member."
Caitlin Ballotta Rajagopalan - Program Director, Harvard/ASU
"Khriseten is one of the most senior teaching team members. She has served in both an advisory and an instructional capacity. Khriseten’s immense care for her students shows in everything she does; she is a wonderful mentor, and students of all ages—from high-schoolers, to undergraduates and graduate students, to K-12 teachers—who are enrolled in her sections love working with and learning from her. She is a leader on our team who is always willing to take on extra responsibilities to help us grow and serve students better—whether it involves mentoring aspiring teachers or assisting with program evaluation. Khriseten would be an asset to any organization."
Kayin Patton - Tech Writer and Consultant
"Given that she was once my middle school English teacher, I learned about forty percent of my current vocabulary from Khristen Bellows, or Ms. Bellows as I still call her. Out of all of the words (and the origins of those words), she’s taught my classmates, one sticks out the most about Ms. Bellows: inspirational. She defines the word through her work and embodies it through her actions. So much so, that five of her former students (including myself) from that 8th Grade class have turned their love for writing, cultivated by a transference of passion from teacher to student, into a profession, and all of us would say the same thing....Ms. Bellows is one of (if not THE) most caring educators to exist in this conceivable universe."
Dr. Staci Benak - UCSD instructor
"Though Ms. Bellows coached me during my time as a classroom teacher, it must be said that she was also mentoring me for my unbeknown future role as teacher-leader. Currently, my leadership approach is mirrored to that of Ms. Bellows, where I too foster a partnership with every person I encounter, find every person’s unique assets and skills, and focus on promoting a sense of autonomy and efficacy in order to make change for good. These skills that I now carry are a direct reflection of what I had learned through the mentorship of Ms. Bellows."
Dr. JoAnn Campbell Kilpatrick - K-12 School and Instructional Leadership | Edtech & Innovative Education Models
"Khriseten is a thoughtful and talented educator with the ability to teach at a variety of levels. Her creative, reflective, and caring approach to her work translates into strong relationships with her students. She is skilled at curriculum design, has excellent presentation skills and an approachable presence, and is constantly learning to improve her craft."
