About Katie

Experience: 8 yrs

Empowering students to reach their full potential is at the heart of my teaching practice. With eight years of experience, I specialize in building confidence and fostering a genuine love for learning. I hold a graduate degree and maintain certifications in Individualized Education Programs (IEP) and Student accommodation plans (504). I adapt my methods to your unique needs by using visual aids, hands-on activities, and real-world examples. Whether we are tackling complex math, refining study skills, or preparing for exams, I break difficult concepts into manageable steps. I believe clear, open communication with both you and your parents is essential for long-term success. Nothing brings me more joy than witnessing that "aha!" moment when a challenging concept finally clicks. I am truly honored to support your academic journey and look forward to celebrating your progress as we work toward your goals together.

I met Katie through Pathway Scholars and she became someone I could go to for much more than homework help. She always took the time to listen to what I was struggling with before trying to help me fix it. There were times when I felt overwhelmed with school and my future, and she helped me break everything down into smaller steps. She believed in me while also holding me accountable. I’m really grateful I got the chance to work with her.
