OUTSTANDING SPANISH LANGUAGE AP TUTOR
Kristee was an incredible Spanish Language AP tutor for my tenth grader and, thanks to Kristee's phenomenal instruction, my daughter received a 5 on the exam. My daughter decided to take the AP exam very late in the game-- at the end of the first semester, around Thanksgiving -- and had a TON of catching up to do when we contacted Kristee. Kristee swiftly assembled a concrete and tailored lesson plan for her, directed us to obtain the correct course materials, and from there guided my daughter steadily and carefully over the next few months to ensure that she was fully prepared for the exam. I greatly appreciated that Kristee provided detailed lesson plans and guidance; extensive revisions of my daughter's work; and precise feedback on areas for improvement. Importantly, Kristee is an ideal tutor for the Spanish Language AP exam because she has worked with numerous students to prepare for the exam, and is quite familiar with the test, the unique sections (such as the email assignment and the cultural comparison exercise), and the tips and tactics for succeeding. My daughter was largely self-studying for the exam, and completely scrambling when she met Kristee, and Kristee kept her firmly on track with exercises, lessons, and drills that corresponded perfectly with the actual test. As a busy working parent myself, I also was very grateful for Kristee's extensive post-class notes on my daughter's progress, areas for improvement, and testing practice plans -- I otherwise would have found it very difficult if not impossible to stay abreast of my daughter's exam preparation. Kristee also cheerfully tolerated my daughter's schedule craziness towards the end of the year, and always was available for extra sessions and feedback in the crunch time immediately prior to the exam, and was very prompt in returning written work and practice material. She rescued my daughter from completely floundering on this test and turned the situation into a 5 on the AP. In short: Kristee was an amazing tutor -- she has deep background and familiarity in preparing students for this precise exam, which is absolutely essential for a child to succeed on the many unique and difficult sections of the exam. (In other words, she is not just a generic Spanish tutor, nor should you hire just a generic tutor for the AP exams). Kristee's years of immersion in the actual Spanish Language AP course and examination preparation make her an incredibly effective teacher. She is a thorough, rigorous, and incredibly professional teacher. She is also a lovely, engaging, and warm person, and my daughter really enjoyed working with her. I hope that she is still tutoring in a few years when my younger child starts preparing for the exam. Thank you Kristee, my daughter absolutely could not have achieved a 5 without you!!

Amazing Tutor!
Kristee is an amazing tutor! We have used her for AP Spanish and Spanish 3 for 2 kids and have been really fortunate to have found her. She takes tutoring very seriously by giving homework to help overcome weaknesses and helps my son stay on top of his spanish lessons for school. My daughter did better than we thought she would do on her AP Spanish/ Lang exam and she is very happy with the results. There aren't many tutors that are knowledgeable, organized, or committed as Kristee. We will continue with her during the school year for my son.

Great Tutor
Kristee was a remarkably effective tutor for AP Spanish Language & Culture getting right to the point and wasting no time! She is extraordinarily dedicated to helping her students. My son decided last minute to take this AP exam and could only work with Kristee for 3 weeks. His Spanish class at school did not teach to the test, so he was ill prepared. Despite his suboptimal situation, her experience, knowledge, and organizational skills meant that she was able to send targeted assignments and worksheets for him to complete in preparation for their meetings, allowing him to maximize their time. In the end, and to our surprise, my son scored a 5 on the exam. This fantastic result was thanks to Kristee's commitment to teach him despite the expedited time frame.

IB test review - super helpful
Kristee has been very helpful creating lessons to support the IB test in May. She is organized with her lessons and she is very familiar with IB course work/ IB test. She also provides homework that is focused and supports the lessons. She has been really helpful.

Amazing Teacher
We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding support and guidance Kristee has provided to our 10th-grade daughter in her AP Spanish studies. Kristee’s ability to clarify complex grammar concepts and break them down in a way that is easy to understand has made a tremendous difference in our daughter’s learning experience. Before working with Kristee, she struggled significantly with Spanish grammar, but Kristee’s patience, expertise, and engaging teaching style have turned her challenges into progress. Kristee is not only passionate about teaching but also genuinely invested in her students’ success. Thank you for fostering our daughter’s confidence in Spanish and helping her achieve steady improvement!

awesome tutor
Amazing tutor, outstanding fund of knowledge in Spanish in particular IB Spanish, she puts together an entire game plan for the course which makes it easier for students. Also gives excellent feedback and can explain concepts in an easy to understand manner. She really cares about her students actually understanding the concepts rather than memorization. I highly recommend!!!
