Bio

I worked for eleven years at Munster High School, as an instructional assistant, tutoring and teaching math and other subjects, primarily to students with learning disabilities and/or emotional disabilities. I am very good at finding ways to reach students and help them understand. Every brain is different. As a tutor, I figure out where you are and help you get to a higher level. I graduated from Purdue University Northwest with my Bachelor's in Mathematics with an emphasis in physics....

I worked for eleven years at Munster High School, as an instructional assistant, tutoring and teaching math and other subjects, primarily to students with learning disabilities and/or emotional disabilities. I am very good at finding ways to reach students and help them understand. Every brain is different. As a tutor, I figure out where you are and help you get to a higher level. I graduated from Purdue University Northwest with my Bachelor's in Mathematics with an emphasis in physics.

Having been a "seasoned" college student, I have taken many classes (engineering, programming, chemistry, philosophy) and also have valuable life experience. I have been honored to be a mentor to many students over the years. I've worked with a wide range of ages and abilities, from first grade to seasoned adults. I believe that everyone can be a success and that the only time you fail is when you quit. I enjoy opening students' minds to the idea that math is cool and conquerable!

I was so very happy with how my lil one understood her math homework with no problems after meeting with Kay. My daughter looks forward to meeting with her again .

Amazing tutor!

Kay is an amazing tutor. My son needed help reviewing for a test. She was very thorough and explained everything so that he understood. He had a great experience. He will continue to see her!

Incredibly helpful, encouraging and patient

I am very hopeful in a successful, continuing tutor relationship. So far, so good. My shy daughter warmed up pretty quickly. Kay is incredibly patient and very encouraging to my math frustrated child. We can't wait for our next tutoring session.

Lori, 21 lessons with Kay

knowledgeable and great tutor!!

Kay taught me Intergraded Math. I like how Kay completely explains everything and I can comfortably ask questions. I reviewed my intergraded math course lessons with her during the times when I did and didn't have math. It's helped me to the point where I've reviewed an A in my intergraded math 3A course during the summer.

Great Tutor

Kay is a great at tutoring. She has helped my daughter in act and math. My daughter feels more confident in both now, thanks to Kay. She is friendly and very reliable.

Very Knowledgeable, Patient, & Understanding.

This was my first ever utilizing a Tudor. But because of Kay, it was possibly the best decision I've made yet. She's the kind of person that you meet for the first time and it like you've known her your entire life.
