My desire to tutor evolved out of a strong desire to help students succeed in math and science. I use my knowledge of these subjects, combined with my teaching and research skills to help students achieve and then exceed their goals. At SUNY Cortland, I excelled in the biological sciences and went on to earn my Ph.D. in Plant Physiology from SUNY ESF. I continued in the scientific field as a research scientist working with scientists from SUNY ESF and Cornell University and I have taught a...

Kimberly Q. from Auburn, NY

Kim met with me at the last minute and was very easy going. She was willing to go the extra mile. She knew what she was teaching and did it in a way that made it easy to understand. Thanks Kim!


Laureen G. from Ithaca, NY

We have found Kim to be warm and supportive, fueling a sense of wonder and curiosity about the world that captivates and motivates. Our daughter says, "I've been working with Kim for about a month now and she is an excellent tutor! Very patient and takes the time to help you with your weaknesses- I have never felt more confident in my math abilities."


Howard S. from Clay, NY

Kim was great with our son. He should do much better on the SAT exam after a month of working with her. I would definitely recommend Kim for any one looking to improve there scores.


Donna S. from Cortland, NY

When it comes to having a sense of relief, Kim came to the rescue! My first year college student was having difficulty. My child tried desperately to get help and tutoring services from the college, as during all the orientations for the school, she was promised there was help at every angle when needed. Not so true at all, but a story for another time. Being far from home, we did an online search and found WyzAnt. Kim's credentials were more then perfect, so I emailed her. Within MINUTES (really!) she replied. When I tell you the sense of relief we felt brought tears to my eyes, I am not kidding. Kim graciously found time in her schedule right away to fit my student in. Within a 24-hour period, we had found a wonderful tutor and had set up a first session. My child has not had a test yet, but already feels she is going to do better, and her confidence level has been lifted. Kim, if you are reading this, please know that angels come in many disguises, and you are one of them. Thank you for your patience, kindness and true consideration.

Kim possesses many qualities that transcend what most tutors have to offer. For sure, she is more than capable of teaching the content of the subject to the student. However, much about tutoring goes well beyond simply teaching content. Kim makes it a priority to understand her student's learning style, how to help them work through their uncertainties and to facilitate self-confidence, while at the same time urging them to perform to the best of their ability. She is fully invested in her students and communicates with them frequently between tutoring sessions, if needed. She is relentless in helping the student bring out the best of themselves! Indeed, the best tutors are those who help reveal to the student their own potential. In our case, Kim was a great fit, and our child is now truly in a position to apply to any college she desires, and we thank Kim for helping to make that possible!


Denise M. from Cortland, NY

Kim is consistent, prompt, thorough, and has been an asset to our son. He feels that her tutoring has been very helpful and that he understands the content of his courses much better!


Noreen R. from Skaneateles, NY

Kim is very professional, has an impressive background, and my daughter felt instantly comfortable with her. My daughter expressed to me that she had great tips to help her remember things so that she can feel more comfortable with taking the ACTs again to help up her score. I would highly recommend her to anyone that wishes a professional, intelligent, and friendly teacher/tutor. I can tell she enjoys teaching and working with children. You will not be disappointed.


Michele G. from Manlius, NY

I was most impressed when Kim responded to my request for both ACT and SAT tutoring for my daughter because she asked that my daughter complete an entire test from a specific practice book prior to meeting with her. She forwarded us the scan-tron answer sheet to use and asked that we send it back to her completed so she could correct and review it for areas needing attention prior to the first tutoring session. This gave her immediate insight to my daughter's strengths and weaknesses and provided my daughter with very personal, customized tutoring. Kim spends the full hour focused on areas needing the most improvement! I highly recommend her.


Jane D. from Syracuse, NY

Kim is an excellent tutor in Microbiology. She makes it easier to understand and she comes well prepared with complimentary material. Plus, Kim's very knowledgeable, approachable, easy to talk too and a joy to study with. I'm very appreciative. Thank you.


Vincent C. from Manlius, NY

I'm a 26 year old who is making a career change headed back to school and needed a tutor who was full of knowledge and also patient. Kim is everything I could have ever hoped for in a tutor. Her love and passion for biology is so strong and she is so knowledgeable! Kim makes learning exciting and presents the material in ways that can be easily understood. If you are the type of student looking to take your education and understanding of biology or chemistry to the next level Kim is beyond worth it! She has taught the material and knows the key focus points that are crucial to being successful in the subject matter! I am so happy I found her and she is a pleasure to have as a tutor! With her guidance I have no doubt I will reach my goal of one day becoming an RN. Thank you so much Kim!


Kathy L. from Palm Beach, FL

Kim has been great about teaching strategies, and answering each question in a timely matter. Very thorough and strategic. I like that!!!


Judy F. from Auburn, NY

Kim has helped my son not only with math but also SAT prep and College info. She has been great.


Ann C. from Skaneateles, NY

Kim was an excellent fit for tutoring our daughter in Biology... We were impressed with her high credentials and yet she is very personable, upbeat and friendly which made it easy for my daughter to connect with her immediately. My daughter said her lesson was fun and Kim was able to teach her how to visual some concepts that were previously a little tricky for her to grasp. We would highly recommend Kim as a tutor to anyone looking for some help in Biology. Thank you :)


Shelly S. from Mckinney, TX

Kim really helped my daughter who had been struggling with concepts. She was able to make "the light go on" and help her make sense of things that had been hard for her to grasp! She also gave her the tools to work through and answer questions on her own. Kim made sure that my daughter had a good understanding before moving on to the next topic.


Vanessa T. from Los Gatos, CA

She is very clear with her teaching methods. She has a huge amount of experience and expertise in science so she brings a lot more to the lesson than other tutors.


Emmeline P. from Tully, NY

Before meeting with Kim (who I've know for years), my child hated her pre-calc class. She complained that she couldn't figure out the material. I'm an engineer, so I could help, but who wants help from their father? After her first meeting with Kim, she said "this class is easy, now that someone can explain the materials." We've seen an improvement in her grades and attitude. Definitely would recommend.


Yvette G. from Fulton, NY

Kim was a delight and very personable. She put my daughter at ease and talked in a language that made her a bit more confident on what she really already understood. Kim was very energetic and passionate about the topic. We were able to set up a schedule for online meetings. Very pleased!


Katie M. from Cortland, NY

Kim is engaging and has transformed how our daughter thinks about Chemistry in just two sessions. Kim has helped our daughter to make "real world" connections. Our 20 minute ride home is non-stop chatter about how Chemistry relates to everyday life. Thank you Kim!


Misty B. from Minoa, NY

Although it seemed Kim was helpful in the first meeting, we could not reach her at all to schedule additional lessons. With just a few weeks left in the semester, we really were hoping that the person that we became established with would be there for additional sessions. If she was not going to be available, I wish she would have told us that in the beginning.
