About Katie
Experience: 3 yrs
I bring 15 years of teaching experience focused on reading, writing, math, and behavior special education as well as my reading endorsement and behavior strategist endorsement. I believe all students can learn, and everyone learns differently. Because of this, my tutoring approach involves meeting each child where they are and building learning opportunities around their strengths and interests. I begin the tutoring process with a series of assessments to ensure that our time together is targeted and purposeful. I vary my teaching strategies based on each students' individual strengths, interests, and needs. I encourage open communication and am flexible with scheduling, as needed. I am supportive of all family structures and ability/disability levels. I'm excited to work with you to help your child find success!
Most recent review
We are so grateful for the incredible support our son received from his reading tutor, Katie. From the very beginning, it was clear how dedicated, patient, and genuinely invested she was in his success. Reading had been a source of frustration for him, but with her guidance, it has turned into something he now approaches with confidence—and even enjoyment. The progress we’ve seen after working with Katie is remarkable. Not only has his reading improved significantly, but his self-esteem has grown as well. Katie has a wonderful ability to connect, tailor lessons to his needs, and make learning engaging without it ever feeling overwhelming (her sticker collection helps too!). If you’re looking for someone who truly makes a difference, I cannot recommend Katie enough. She’s had such a positive impact on our son, and we’re beyond thankful.
