Katherine

Experienced, Professional English Tutor for Children to Adults

Hi. My name is Katherine. Are you looking for a tutor with lots of experience and plenty of patience? I'm comfortable tutoring children, teens, and adults in many subjects. I worked as an elementary school teacher for 10 years in public and private schools, and am the mother of 3 grown children -- so nothing scares me! For almost 20 years, I've taught English as a Foreign Language (EFL) to children and adults of all levels, and test preparation for TOEFL, ACT/SAT, and the GED exams. My ...

I took several lessons when I was preparing for my TOEFL test. I was focused particularly on speaking section of TOEFL. Katherine provided me with all the resources I needed both for our lessons and for my self-education. I liked the structured approach Katherine offered me. I always received constructive feedback on every exercise I did. And as a result I learned very useful and easy strategies which I used during the real exam. I would recommend Katherine as an English tutor.

Katherine is a really knowledgeable and patient tutor. She is not just talented, but she's also a very caring person. I benefited a lot from her instructions. She helped me with my writing and explained my mistakes clearly. I highly recommend her if you need any help with English.


Griselda B. from Ann Arbor, MI

My daughter had taken the ACT but wanted a better score, so we went looking for a tutor. Katherine has helped our daughter tremendously in gaining skills as well as confidence in herself. Katherine is very good at seeing which areas our daughter needed more help in so as to use the lessons efficiently. I highly recommend Katherine as a tutor who is patient, and truly cares for her student’s development.


Myriam E. from Ypsilanti, MI

Katherine is an awesome teacher. I have seen the improvement on my writing. She is great teacher, easy to understand and very friendly. This is the first time using a tutor and I was very comfortable with her.


Lucy B. from Milford, NJ

We chose Katherine for ACT lessons for our son and could not have been happier with our selection. Katherine knew just how to relate to a teenager and made us very comfortable right from the beginning. Our son's scores in his practice tests have improved tremendously under her guidance. Never has our son complained about going to his lessons, even if they cut into his weekends. Katherine was very flexible with changes we needed to make to the schedule and her correspondence with us was excellent. We always knew exactly what was taught and what the homework assignments were. Not only did Katherine improve our son's English, she also gave him the confidence he will need for the upcoming ACT test. We know that he will do much better than in his previous tests. We would highly recommend Katherine to any student who needs tutoring in English. Thank you, Katherine!!


Makoto O. from Ann Arbor, MI

I enjoy conversation with her every week! Because she talks about American culture, tradition, politics, economy, it is not just an English lesson but learning everything about America. Of course it doesn't mean only she speaks. She also wants to learn Japan from me so I have a lot of opportunities to speak English. Every week, time flies.


Kathy L. from Ann Arbor, MI

Katherine has been wonderful to work with. My son is very frustrated with writing. He is not afraid to say how much he dislikes it and can be quite stubborn about it. Katherine has been very patient and encouraging with him. She discovered his love of history and ties their lessons to subjects he loves to discuss. My son may not be crazy about writing, but he really likes Katherine and says that she is a great tutor. From an administrative aspect, Katherine is easy to get a hold of and very organized. I would definitely recommend her as a tutor.


Carrie K. from Dexter, MI

Katherine has done a great job keeping our son motivated. He can get frustrated very easily, and she is always able to get him back interested in his reading lesson by turning the lesson into a game. We have been thrilled with our son's progress, and he actually looks forward to going to his sessions.


Usha N. from Ann Arbor, MI

We started tutoring with Ms.Katherine this summer, it worked out really well for my son. She has great teaching skills and patience. Her method helped my son build his confidence in vocabulary and reading. We recommended Ms. Katherine to few of our friends, they are glad to have her tutor their kids too. We would highly recommend her for your kids.


Eden B. from Ann Arbor, MI

Katherine was very patient with my child. She was very easy to get a hold of and communicate with. Thank you!!!


Rosemary W. from Ann Arbor, MI

Katherine has been a wonderful tutor for my 7 year old special needs son this summer. From the start, she established a caring relationship with him and that has made a huge difference in his willingness to do the work. She understands his academic and emotional needs well and teaches in a creative and flexible way. He looks forward to his visits with Katherine! I highly recommend her as a tutor.


Surraya A. from Ann Arbor, MI

Katherine has been working with my daughter this summer for her ACT exam in Fall. All I can say is that my daughter has made tremendous improvement in her practice test scores so far and all because of how she preparing her for this exam. She is a wonderful person who works very enthusiastically with my daughter and keeps me updated with each step of her work. I would highly recommend them as a great tutor to achieve good work habits, time management and the depth that Katherine goes in to teaching her students.


Lynn W. from Ann Arbor, MI

Katherine is a wonderful tutor! She is extremely patient, very knowledgeable, kind, has a wonderful personality, is very approachable, etc., etc. We cannot say enough positive things about her. She has the perfect personality for teaching children. She really knows how to adapt to whatever your child may need, whether it be school-wise or personality-wise. Our daughter loved her instantly! Our other children who don't even use her as a tutor love her as well, which is terrific. I would highly recommend Katherine as a tutor, she is fantastic!


Kejie Y. from Ann Arbor, MI

My daughter has worked with Katherine for more than a year now. We contacted Katherine for her experience with ESL students and degree in English. I am very happy to say that she is certainly the right choice. We found that she is very helpful in preparing my daughter for college-entrance standardized tests (SAT&ACT), especially the Reading and Writing sections. Katherine is trained by Princeton Review to teach the SAT classes, she is definitely who you are looking for if you are seeking more focused and personalized lesson plans. She has done a great job helping my daughter with her vocabulary and grammar usage in writing. Katherine is also great at editing many of my daughter's essays for school. They have worked on essay for English classes, for scholarships, and even for her upcoming college application. In addition, Katherine has fantastic teaching styles that makes her lessons engaging. She is also very patient and understanding.


Lynn T. from South Lyon, MI

Katherine was very professional and easily understood our needs. Our son said he got a lot out of the session and after taking the test on Monday says he probably did much better after meeting with Katherine on Sat. She was very friendly and I felt comfortable with her immediately.


Asha D. from Novi, MI

Very nice, understanding, says a lot of cool things, good sense of humor and overall an excellent teacher.

I'm currently a graduate student at George Washington University in Washington,D.C. I worked with Katherine before graduate school and I still continue to use her services while I complete my masters. She is extremely patient, efficient and organized. I would highly recommend her to any student that needs tutoring services.

Our Remy needed some extra help with his reading skills. Katherine did a wonderful job with him and he enjoyed his time with her. I would certainly recommend her.
