About Kate

Experience: 3 yrs

Helping students overcome learning challenges and build confidence is something I truly value. As a Special Education major and current junior in college, I bring both academic knowledge and real-world experience to my tutoring approach. I have worked closely with students with disabilities as a paraprofessional in public and private schools and have prior tutoring experience from high school, where I supported students who were struggling with math. I focus on patience, encouragement, and adapting lessons to fit each student's learning style and pace. I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes as part of the learning process. I communicate progress clearly and celebrate growth, no matter how small. Seeing students gain understanding and confidence in their abilities is incredibly fulfilling, and I would love to support your child's academic success..

We had a great experience with Kate tutoring our 3rd grader. She was patient, kind, and really took the time to understand how our child learns best. She adapted her approach as needed and always made sessions feel supportive and encouraging. We saw real progress not only academically, but also in behavior. Our child became more focused, calmer during sessions, and more confident overall. We’re very grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a thoughtful and reliable tutor.
