About Kate

I am a learning specialist and tutor, specialized in working one-on-one with young learners, ages 6-10. During the school year I work as a classroom teacher and reading specialist for a local school. I work easily with variety of student learning styles, including very active children and reluctant learners. I identify missing foundational reading skills and target these in developmentally appropriate ways. My approach combines students' learning styles and skill needs. I also incorporate fine motor and handwriting development when necessary. I teach math using hands on materials and step by step processes. I have a Masters degree in Teaching PK - 3rd grade and have experience working effectively with students with significant learning disabilities and developmental delays. I provide detailed progress reports for parents to share with schools and other caregivers.
