“I couldn’t be happier with the tutoring Katherine provided to my son. She is very patient and knowledgeable.  Especially great at explaining difficult concepts, and making the student feel more confident. My son improved a lot, but most importantly he started to enjoy the subject. I definitely recommend her!” - Paula C., parent, New York City

“Katherine is an amazing tutor! Katherine helped me with essays all throughout my four years of college. She would provide revisions while carefully explaining the reason for the revision, so that I could improve my writing style and technique. I graduated three years ago and, to this day, I attribute my writing skills to Katherine. Thank you, Katherine!” - Allison M., Customer Success Manager, New York City

Tutoring Approach and Philosophy:

  • A successful and fulfilling academic future is my ultimate goal for all my students. I have high expectations for my students and encourage them to achieve their fullest potential.

  • I help the student with school assignments or develop my own lessons tailored to his or her specific needs. 

  • In addressing a school assignment, my goal is to help the student achieve success and gain confidence in his or her ability to repeat that success. 

  • In working with the student on writing skills, I might direct him or her to a particularly sound example of effective writing and discuss what the writer is doing well. The student can then implement these strategies in his or her own writing.

  • In all my tutorials, I work with the student to improve grammar, vocabulary, and spelling.

  • I believe in the necessity of positive reinforcement, pointing out what the student is doing well. At the same time, the focus of every tutorial should be identifying and working on areas for improvement.
