Kate has now been tutoring our daughter Alisa for several months and we have been very pleased with Kate's tutoring, professionalism, hard work and second most of all her ease with accommodating our special needs and requests for Alisa's lessons. We wanted straight traditional (Flesch) phonics tutoring and Kate has done so with efficiency, skill and enthusiasm.

Her advanced degrees in education combined with her background as a teacher, and experience with special needs students, are a huge plus. On top of that she offered to communicate with our son's teachers which we appreciated very much. His teachers were very impressed with her as well which says a lot! We will be working with her again for sure!
