I am a certified secondary school counselor and math teacher who previously worked as an 8th grade math teacher in Baltimore County. I am currently working as an adjunct professor at the University of Baltimore. I specialize in Algebra I, pre-Algebra, consumer math, and other mid-level math courses. I am also experienced in computer tutoring, and can assist with Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Publisher, and Outlook, as well as web applications like Gmail and Google Docs. I am patient and flexible; I will meet you where you are and help you to move forward!

I have Master's degrees in education from Lehigh University and Johns Hopkins University. In addition to my classroom teaching experience, I was a regular tutor at my schools' after school tutorial program, as well as a frequent Wyzant tutor. I am available for tutoring in most middle and high school subjects, specifically math. I am available to help review previous concepts, extend and practice current skills, and pre-teach upcoming content for increased confidence and mastery.

In addition to math, I am happy to work with students on study skills, test taking strategies, organization, and other school related "soft skills" that are so vital to school success. I have a background in school counseling and college admissions; I would be happy to work with students and families on the college search and application process, as well as answer questions related to financial aid.

Finally, I specialize in Praxis Core tutoring. Through content review and practice with a variety of test-taking strategies, I am able to help many aspiring teachers attain their credentials and begin their careers. I am available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends.

I can't wait to get started helping you!

Knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated tutor

Katie has been working with our son since his freshman year in high school. He is going into his junior year now. He has a difficult time with math but has made significant improvements in Algebra and Geometry under her tutelage. She is very prompt, flexible, tireless, and creative in her teaching methods. We highly recommend her for any student that struggles in math! Thanks Katie!

Passed my Elementary Math Praxis!

Katie was very thorough in lessons going over my weaknesses and refreshing me on concepts. She was prompt to respond to messages, and easy to schedule sessions with. I had been really worried to take my math praxis, because it is not my strongest subject. After only four lessons with Katie, I took the skills she went over with me and used them to take practice tests over and over until I was ready to take my test. Passed it on the first try, which I did not think would happen! Thank you, Katie!

Excellent tutor

Katie was outstanding. I was very anxious but her approach made me feel extremely comfortable. She was thorough, understood my shortcomings, gave clear explanations/directions and demonstrated great tips. Two (2) sessions in and I am very pleased. I have a much better understanding of my assignments thanks to her.

My experience

Katie was truly a blessing to me. I have had trouble with a praxis test that I needed to pass to continue my degree. I was feeling very discouraged before I started my lessons with Katie. She worked with my for two hours or more a week and she always had multiple different praxis tests to practice with. Katie was able to help me understand concepts I haven't seen in years or simply forgot! She is very knowledgeable and always made sure I understood a problem before moving on. I was able to pass my praxis test thank to her guidance and support! Thank you Katie!

Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful

Katie was able to teach me the concepts that I was not understanding. She helped me to learn 9th grade algebra. I am glad to have a tutor like her to help me.

Katie the Great!

Katie truly is gifted in her ability to not only teach but make you feel comfortable as a learner. Throughout our session, she pointed out some areas that I needed to pay more careful attention to and provided me with test taking strategies that I never learned. Working with Katie not only makes me feel more confident in my math skills but also as an educator! She was so kind, patient and straight to the point. Katie really knows her stuff and for that, I am so thankful for Katie the Great!

Again, Katie was very patient and helpful during the session. Provided a lot of clarification and pointed out similarities of current problems to previous problems.

Just the best!!!

I was struggling to pass the math praxis and someone recommended Katie to me. Not only did she help me pass the praxis, but helped me understand the math concepts in a way that I could digest. Best tutor ever!
