I have been teaching high school math for the past 11 years. I typically teach all courses offered in the high school setting - algebra I and II, geometry, and pre-calculus. Additionally, I have a record of success with AP Statistics. I have designed the curriculum guides for many of the classes offered in my district. I also regularly pilot new classes for the district, most recently a college readiness class, which began two years ago with a single pilot class and has grown to an offeri...

Kathleen is a dependable and responsive teacher. She has tailored her teaching style to meet my daughter's needs, and is helping her gain a better understanding of pre-calculus in order to improve her grades and prepare for the SAT. Kathleen has been available to answer my questions, and has provided useful feedback to my daughter in a way that allows her to feel successful, build confidence, and study more effectively. We appreciate Kathleen, and highly recommend her.

Kathy is doing a great job in preparing my boys for the SAT tests. She is taking the time to really explain and help them and let them know all about the tests and what colleges look for. I am very pleased with her and would highly recommend her.

Diane T. from Toms River, NJ
In the few weeks that Kathy has been working with my daughter, I have seen great progress. Not only have her test scores improved, but her confidence level has also gone up as well.
Karen O. from Freehold, NJ
Kathy has been a lifesaver. My son was out of school with a serious illness and she has been able to fill in the gaps to help him get caught up. She is easy to reach, professional, knowledgeable in her subject matter, and my son feels she has been very helpful. There is no better tutor than a current math teacher and we are very grateful for her time.
Pratima H. from East Brunswick, NJ
Kathleen is very helpful with the SAT Prep. She goes over the problems step-by-step and explains the concept of each problem in great detail. She is quite resourceful and patient and also helps with homework whenever needed.
DANIEL F. from Neptune, NJ
My daughter has had math tutors before but never felt they helped significantly. She always felt the prior tutors weren't able to explain or simplified things and much went over her head. With Kathleen, it was different. Kathleen was able to make the subject matter simple and understandable. What a difference. My daughter did great in her math project that week and the difference was obvious. I highly recommend Kathleen for math (ie algebra etc). She is super.
Marietta K. from Iselin, NJ
Kathleen tutored me for a total of four hours, for Science and Math. She was on time every time we met. She had work for me to do and she was right next to me to guide me when I was stuck. She gave me just enough help and guidance so I can figure out the math problems by myself. If I couldn't do a problem at all, then, she solved it and explained to me how and why we should solve it that way. She brought exercises along with their answers for me to take home, for extra practice. I would recommend her to anyone that needs help.
Colleen S. from Fords, NJ
Kathy has been meeting with my son for math lessons. He is preparing to take the ASVAB. He has always struggled with math and it was keeping his test score down. Just after his first few lessons with Kathy he feels so much more confident. Kathy is helping him immensely, thanks to her he will be ready to take the ASVAB in just a couple more weeks and will be able to pursue his military career, which is all he ever wanted! Having my son meet with Kathy turned out to be one of the best things I've done for him!
Kimberly B. from Brick, NJ
I have met with Kathy to assist with math tutoring for the Praxis II Exam. Kathy was incredibly patient with me and gave me the opportunity to try the problems on my own and offered assistance wherever I needed it. She provided me with tools to use for when I am practicing to prepare for the exam. Highly recommended!!
Joanna C. from Brick, NJ
Kathleen brings her own material for me to try and worksheets and math problems for me to try. I like that she has me do the math problems myself and then helps me if I get stuck. She really has boosted my confidence with my math skills. She has help me accomplish what my weaknesses in math are and how to improve on them, so I can pass the math praxis is August! Highly recommend Kathleen for a tutor! This is only my second session but I have learned a lot already! She is a great teacher and I plan on doing many more lessons with her!
Susan G. from Marlboro, NJ
Kathleen came to me with a whole plan, which of course she is able to adjust depending on my status. I love that she is so bright and patient and she just knows exactly how to get through to me the strategies and ways to work out problems. I am even enjoying doing the work she leaves for me during the week and look forward to her coming again. I definitely feel I will be very ready for the SAT test in the fall and winter, having her here to guide and teach me. She gives me confidence in the way she is very patient and gets her points across! She tutors in a way that she actually makes it enjoyable. I am even going to have her tutor me for the ACT's. I am so thankful my mom found her for me.
Andrea M. from Toms River, NJ
Kathleen is an extremely knowledgable and patient tutor! She knows how to explain Math in a way that's easy for my daughter to understand . I'm extremely impressed with her tutoring skills! My daughter looks forward to each session with Kathleen!
Samantha H. from Brick, NJ
Ian seemed comfortable with Kathleen. She is very personable and willing to work within his time frame. With school, work and an eagle project this is not easy! Ian needs to boost his SAT scores a bit to get him into the colleges he wants/needs. He is not a test taker but Kathleen seems optimistic that this can be managed. He has another session on Monday.
Diane E. from Ocean Grove, NJ
I have hired Kathleen to tutor my twins for the SAT's and their confidence has improved within 2 lessons. Kathleen is able to teach different strategies for them to apply to the math problems and these strategies have improved their math skills and confidence. They are much more comfortable about taking the test in November. I find her to be a valuable coach in helping us understand requirements for different colleges, interviewing techniques and career paths. I would highly recommend Kathleen!
Louie K. from Asbury Park, NJ
My daughter was reluctant initially but Kathleen made her feel very relaxed Clearly laid out the path needed to take for a high SAT score My daughter was very happy and even received homework for our next meet next week Excellent tutor overall!!
Michelle M. from Oceanport, NJ
Kathleen has been helping my 7th grader with math. She's extremely kind and knowledgeable and my daughter feels comfortable with her and appreciates her help.
Susan P. from Neptune, NJ
My daughter just had her first session today. I am so grateful. She said that she wishes Kathleen R. taught at her school. Her patience really was a pleasant change for my daughter.
Joy B. from Toms River, NJ
Excellent tutoring for my son with the new SAT testing coming up in March. So happy I found and selected her!
Toni M. from Belmar, NJ
Kathy met with my son for the first time on Sunday. She quickly assessed his needs and created a work plan for him. She taught is a way that was easy for Chad to comprehend and gave him tools to be successful at the ACT. He's looking forward to their next meeting.
