Katie is awesome! Practical, informed, patient, and a simple way of explaining things that really helped me out. I would highly recommend her as a tutor for any domain of expertise.
Usha P. from Ellicott City, MD
Ms. Katie is a great tutor, very patient in explaining to my daughter, and very strong in her subjects. My daughter really liked her tutoring and could see very drastic change in her grades. I would very much recommend her to others.
Marie M. from Middle River, MD
Ms. Katie helped me a lot with my Math PPST. She taught me different techniques to solve tricky and basic problems. She is very flexible and very friendly. She provides a positive attitude even when I am tough about myself solving the problems. She is a great teacher and very smart. She helped me achieve a higher score in Math PPST, which made me pass my Praxis 1. I will continue to contact her when I need more clarification in Math concepts. Thank you Ms. Katie for all the help! I am grateful to have you as my tutor.

Katie worked very well with the requirements my daughter has for summer work. She easily adjusted her style to meet our needs.
Lauren S. from Baltimore, MD
Katie helped me prepare for the Praxis Core exam. She provided me with strategies that helped me better understand the format and content of the exam.
Sharon K. from Ellicott City, MD
Katie was very patient with me. She taught me a lot about Microsoft Word in just one session. She was easy to understand, and her sense of humor helped, too! She actually made it interesting instead of frustrating, which is what computer work usually is for me. Now I feel more confident that I can do what I need to do in Word. I highly recommend her.
Shannon F. from Parkville, MD
Katie dove right in and helped me to sort through all the problems I was having with material in the praxis core. She was AWESOME! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Chris M. from Nottingham, MD
Katie not only helped me by explaining the steps needed when taking the Praxis I Math test, but she showed me different strategies to solve problems and helped me gain confidence. She's very good at explaining the concepts and is patient too!
Peggy K. from Baltimore, MD
Katie has tutored with my daughter for the Praxis (educational) exam several times. Although my daughter didn't pass the exam the first time she tutored with Katie (although she came close), she recently just passed, and with flying colors - and we both attribute that success to Katie's tutoring. She is patient, thorough, smart....and very, very good at assessing the abilities of her students, and strategizing with that in mind. She managed to, not just instruct my daughter on the specifics of the exam, but helped her figure out smarter, more efficient ways of processing the questions asked. She was prompt, available at times that were needed, and easy to work with. We heartily recommend her!
Jacqueline D. from Lutherville Timonium, MD
I have been struggling with passing this test for a long time. After two months of tutoring I passed. Great at explaining everything and focusing on the important topics. Also gave great study skill and test taking strategies.
