Hi! My name is Katie. I hold a master's in education from USC, where I graduated with highest honors specializing in special and exceptional education. I have a JD from UCLA and a BA in English from USC, magna cum laude. I am a member of the California State Bar. For high school, I went to prep school in New England. I guess you can say I am nuts for learning and education, and I hope I can instill the same passion and skills in my clients. I have also helped students with disabilities naviga...

ADD/ADHD
I have specifically worked with children with ADD/ADHD for over nine years. I have had several clients with ADD and ADHD and have not only helped them legally, but through their individualized learning plan. I have tutored and used unique methodology for ADD/ADHD students. I have had several clients struggling I'm school and now are at top universities and are successful in their career. During my time at USC undergraduate, UCLA Law School and now again at USC for my master's in education, I have tutored children and adults with ADD/ADHD and had very successful outcomes. As a lawyer with experience as a disability advocate, I also provide a unique perspective as to the student's legal rights and appropriate accommodations.

Aspergers
Not only have I specifically tutored children with Aspergers, but a former boss and associate have Aspergers and I effectively worked with both. I am very familiar with Aspergers and the unique tutoring style that it requires. I tutored one student with Aspergers throughout his high school career, and he ended up attending a top university and has the skills and knowledge base to succeed there. I have also extensive experience in disability and the law and IEP programs. I have successfully navigated the educational path of children with Aspergers both legally and as a tutor.

I have both coached and tutored various children across the autism spectrum, and I have helped these students succeed in school through tutoring, coaching and unique study skills. Throughout my nine year tutoring career, I have tutored many children on the autism spectrum and have the requisite knowledge and skill to aid those with autism.
