About Kaitlin

I graduated from Hockaday, an all girls prep school, and currently attend Claremont McKenna College (9. 6% acceptance rate). I scored a 35 on my ACT and serve as the teaching assistant for astronomy. I wholeheartedly believe that education is the great equalizer--a conviction rooted in my ultimate passion and purpose: educational work in underprivileged, racially-segregated communities. For 8 years I've tutored disadvantaged kids (many with undiagnosed learning disorders). I have ADHD, dyslexia, and a processing disorder, and my learning disabilities are my greatest strength; to find what works for me I've had to learn a multitude of approaches, and this knowledge of diverse problem solving methods helps allow me to find what works best for my student. Accommodating students learning styles is a top priority for me. I find the greatest fulfillment in the moment when a concept finally clicks for my student and I see their eyes brighten, their confidence build, and their world expand.
