High School Humanities Teacher with 20 years of Experience

Caitlin K.

I am a Mill Valley resident and veteran educator with over 20 years of experience teaching high school Humanities. I’m currently opening a few select spots for 1:1 tutoring, specifically focused on writing and Humanities assignments (Grades 9–12, including AP Literature/Language).

I knew I wanted to become a teacher, so I double majored in English and English Education, then began teaching high school English right after college. I got my Master's Degree in Humanities Education because I wanted to design interdisciplinary classes. After teaching at a public high school in New York City, I worked at a charter high school in San Francisco. For the past eleven years, I've found a home at the Bay School of San Francisco.

Beyond designing curriculum and cultivating classroom communities, one of the things I love most about teaching is working 1:1 with students to help them prepare for tests or work on essays. I've learned a great deal about these topics not only as a teacher, but also as an Instructional Coach. For the past five years, I've worked 1:1 with teachers to hone their craft, I've done research and designed professional development workshops about how students learn best, and I've done countless classroom observations. This work has in turn made me a more effective teacher, and sets me apart as a tutor.

I offer both in-person sessions in Marin and San Francisco, and virtual sessions via Zoom. If you’re looking for a teacher and coach who can help you with your reading, writing, college essays, +/or test prep, I’d love to connect!
