Carrie H. from Laguna Beach, CA
Kathryn has an ability to help the student learn the best way he or she can. She is creative in her teaching technique, positive and able to keep my son on task as much as possible during their time together.
Beverly B. from Laguna Beach, CA
Kathryn has been working with my son on ACT preparation. We consider her a top notch tutor. It is interesting in that my son is also doing extremely well in Calculus and he mentioned that work with Kathryn also helped him with his high school studies.
Catherine T. from Laguna Beach, CA
I would recommend Katie to anyone. Her combination of knowledge, patience and enthusiasm is hard to find in a tutor and her breadth of the subject matter is amazing.
Mike A. from Laguna Beach, CA
My daughter has been working with Katie for two school years and she is being able to maintain her 3.7 3.8 GPA.
Janene S. from Dana Point, CA
I just don't have the words to describe how important Katie's help has been to our daughter, who is a senior in high school. She is so bright and enthusiastic about learning- her love and energy for learning and tutoring completely contagious that even I want to sit and learn during my daughter's tutoring sessions. I wish all teachers in school were this gifted. She's a SIX STAR tutor.
Henry W. from Laguna Beach, CA
When I asked, the response was "I can't imagine a question she could not answer." Her high level of credibility and knowledge coupled with her ability to quickly engage, assess and tailor her content and delivery make her an ideal tutor. Based on several months of progress with pre-calculus and SAT prep, I would recommend her without hesitation.
Todd D. from Newport Coast, CA
Katie is amazing. She has an excellent understanding of the material and has connected very well with my high school sophomore son. I am especially pleased with her ability to break down the concepts to a level that works well and then builds on them to create a complete and thorough understanding for my son. My son is more confident after each session...and his performance in the classroom has greatly improved.
Andrea T. from Lake Forest, CA
Katie has helped my son prepare for his IB Physics tests and for the science section of the ACT. It was difficult to find a tutor with advanced knowledge of physics, and she did an excellent job of helping him understand key concepts and preparing him with test taking strategies. She also identified ways he could improve his science score, and this was reflected in a marked improvement the second time he took the test. She is patient, upbeat and very committed to helping her students succeed.
Kim N. from Irvine, CA
Katie has tutored my son for about 3 months now and has done a wonderful job. She is so enthusiastic about teaching kids biology. You can tell it truly is her passion. She has a way of keeping it fun and interesting so my son can relate and learn very quickly. She does it by using examples, diagrams and many times finding u tube videos to watch. She goes above and beyond. I highly reccomend her to anyone whose son or daughter might be struggling or not understanding a concept.
Claire F. from Brooklyn, NY
With Kathryn's extensive knowledge and guidance, I now know studying for the CBEST Mathematics section will be a fun experience!
Mike C. from Irvine, CA
Kathryn is always so patient and helpful. Always finds a way to present concepts in understandable ways. Wonderful demeanor and super fun!
