Patient and Reliable

Kristy has been teaching me for about 1.5 years through Trigonometry and Calculus AB. She is a reliable tutor that communicates well with me and I appreciate the amount of effort she puts in. She also teaches well and I understand her explanations whenever I have a question, even if I need a re-explanation she makes sure to slow down and pinpoint exactly what I am doing wrong and work to fix that. I also appreciate how patient she is with me even if I am having a lot of trouble on a specific topic. She is a great tutor!

Great tutor!

Kristy helped my daughter tackle some tough challenges in preparation for her integrated 3 enhanced test. She was friendly, patient, and explained the concepts well. We will definitely use Kristy again.

Direct, straight to the point tutoring

Kristy has so far tutored 2 classes for my sophomore daughter, and my daughter likes that she is direct and straight to the point. My daughter was a little reluctant initially to find a tutor but just 2 lessons and she think that Kirsten has been very helpful! Thank you, Kristy!

Knowledgeable Tutor

She helped me with studying for my test on specific topics for my Pre-Calculus test. She had extra work sheets and problems to help me get more practice in and was very patient when explaining topics I didn’t get the first time.

Intelligent and very helpful tutor

Math has always been one of my weaker subjects, but after my first session of tutoring, I noticed a significant improvement. I started performing at the same level as my peers who consistently excel in math, which gave me a lot more confidence in my abilities. I plan to continue working with her and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and effective tutor.

Knows material well and breaks down the process

Kristy has been working with my student on trig and algebra and has been able to help my student understand how to approach and visualize graphs given transformed functions. The student has some significant learning challenges, especially when visualizing mathematics spatially, but has experienced greater success and more confidence working with Kristy.

Terrific Help

Kristy has helped to clarify so much information for my boys in AP Calculus AB, setting them up for success and making their self-study process much more efficient and effective. They've received As on both of their most recent unit tests.

Very helpful - calculus 1

My son and his friend met with Kristy and found her very helpful. They are in high school and in Calculus 1 (college level single variable). She helped them break down difficult concepts to be more understandable giving them a good foundation for their test.

Awesome!

We tried other Calculus tutors for our daughter and Kristy turned out to be the perfect fit! She explains things in a very clear way that makes sense! Thank you for everything!
