Hello! My name is Katherine and I specialize in middle and high school-level mathematics through AP Calculus AB/BC and SAT math. I look forward to helping you achieve your educational goals and building your foundation for mathematical success.

I have been a full-time math private tutor for the past seven years, a part-time math private tutor and volunteer at Professional Tutors of America for over two years, and an on-demand math tutor for both my daughters and their peers for Calculus AB, BC and SAT math.

My students' success lies in: my emphasis on building a strong foundation before diving into deeper topics, my hands-on approach to ensure comprehensive understanding, and my patient and encouraging demeanor. During tutoring sessions, I guide students through their homework, clarify any misconceptions, and provide supplemental examples to solidify their understanding of the materials. It has been rewarding seeing my students rediscover their confidence and love for math.

I hold a B.S. in Computer Science and Statistics from the University of New South Wales, Australia, and have 15+ years of working experience as a software engineer at various companies, including American Express, Citi Bank, and TVB Corporation.

I look forward to working with you!

Highly intelligent, reliable, and passionate teacher!

Katherine really cares about ensuring her students understand and thrive in the material she’s teaching. She has a positive and passionate attitude and her intelligence on the subject really shows. I am taking a UCLA Precalculus course and she knew all the material and taught it really well, I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help in her available math subjects. I have had around five sessions with her and she was consistent in her reliability and passion in ensuring I truly understood what I needed to know to ace my upcoming tests! I am looking forward to having more sessions with her whenever I need help with any subject she is teaching! She is truly amazing and will go out of the box to help her students learn to their full potential!

Overqualified AP Calc AB tutor

We were so impressed by Katherine’s personal experience guiding her daughters through on-demand math study, as mentioned in her profile. It’s such a rewarding experience, and undoubtedly, that experience has clearly translated into her current full-time tutoring work, as evidenced by the many positive reviews she has received. It’s been a great pleasure meeting Katherine, and we’ve had a wonderful start to our experience. We look forward to continuing to work with her throughout my daughter’s AP Calc AB & BC journey.

Very patient & intelligent

I truly appreciate how Katherine takes the time to thoroughly explain concepts that I am weak on. She does not make me feel stupid whatsoever, even when I make silly mistakes. She takes the time to run me through a problem multiple times until I am able to grasp the concept thoroughly.

Rachel, 2 lessons with Katherine

Wonderful tutor!

Katherine has been very communicative and made sure my son was well prepared for his lessons. My son walked away from his lesson with answers and strategies to use when taking his SAT. Wonderful tutor!

My daughter wanted to give Katherine a second session after the first. She likes working with Katherine as her tutor, and you can tell from listening to the recording that Katherine loves tutoring.
