Hello! My name is Kathy, and I am a dedicated educator with over 15 years of experience as a Kindergarten through 3rd grade teacher. I specialize in working with early learners, helping them build strong foundational skills in reading, writing, and math while fostering a love for learning. My goal is to make learning an enjoyable and rewarding experience for your child. Whether they need remedial support or advanced enrichment, I am here to help them thrive!

I incorporate activities, games, and real world examples into our sessions as well as focus on the basics of both reading (phonics/sounds) and math (concepts, addition, subtraction). I want to help my students in any way, so please send me your own concerns or suggestions as well as those from classroom teachers. Together, we can help your child feel more confident in the classroom.

I would love to learn more about your child’s needs and how I can support their academic journey. I am available online daily. Feel free to reach out, and let’s get started!

Knowledgeable, Patient and Kind

If you're looking for someone to help your child with their studies, I highly recommend Kathy. My daughter has been working with Kathy for a few months now, and I've seen a remarkable improvement in her reading, and math skills. Kathy has a wonderful way of making learning fun and engaging for young children. She uses a variety of teaching methods to help your child understand concepts and ensure that they are retaining what they learn. My daughter always looks forward to her tutoring sessions with Kathy, and I'm grateful for the progress she has made under Kathy's guidance. In addition to being a great teacher, Kathy is also very patient and kind. She understands that young children can get frustrated when they don't understand something right away, and she is always willing to take the time to explain things in a way that makes sense to your child. My daughter feels comfortable asking questions and making mistakes around Kathy, which has helped her build confidence and improve her overall attitude towards learning. Overall, I highly recommend Kathy as a tutor. She knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about helping your child succeed. If you're looking for someone to give your child a boost in their studies, Kathy is an excellent choice.

We love Kathy!

Kathy has really helped my daughter in just a few short weeks. Math is no longer something that she claims to be “bad at”. She looks forward to her bi-weekly sessions with Kathy with enthusiasm. I could not recommend Kathy more!
