I am an experienced educator with a heart to see all kids learn math. I am always seeking creative ways to introduce complex concepts ensuring that students with differing abilities can access math and feel successful.

As a young student, math was always overwhelming and frustrating for me. A gifted and patient teacher took the time to tutor me, which inspired me to pursue a career in education. For this reason, I love teaching math to students who struggle, and I have a desire to find unique strategies to ensure that all students can learn math and even have fun in the process!

I possess a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential with a Math Supplemental Authorization. I have experience teaching math in a variety of settings. For over 20 years, I have taught in both public and private schools. Currently, I teach Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 and Pre-Calculus to homeschool students in person and online. I also work as a private math tutor where I help students with their homework and test prep. Additionally, I homeschooled my children from kindergarten through high school and therefore have experience teaching and assisting students with all subjects.

One of my areas of expertise is finding the gaps or holes in a student's understanding and introducing a variety of methods to help the abstract concept become more concrete. In addition, I have 10 year’s experience teaching problem solving using the Singapore math teaching methodology.

Great tutor

Kate is an amazing tutor - she is very nice, knowledgeable and patient. My son has been trying to catch up on some high school algebra topics and is really happy with the results. We look forward to our next class with Kate.

Kate is the best, hands down!

5 stars!! We recently reached out to Kate to help my son prepare for his Algebra end of course exam. She was responsive, pleasant and very knowledgeable. My son enjoys his sessions with Kate and is picking up the concepts in record speed thanks to her teaching style. I highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for Math tutoring.

Amazing Tutor

Kate has been an amazing tutor and I highly recommend. Over the last 6 months she's help my daughter with her confidence and grasp of the subject. She did a few review lessons. As a result, my kiddo was able to test out of Algebra 1 and Geometry for HS. We will continue to meet with Kate throughout the school year. She is kind, knowledgeable, and a great communicater! Highly recommend!!

Knowledgeable & dedicated tutor!

Kate is a PHENOMENAL math tutor - no need to look further! She is extremely knowledgeable & patient, and turns difficult math concepts into easy to grasp and digestible information! Kate is one of those tutors that are hard to come by!! Kate always reaches out to us prior to our lesson to find out if there are any specific topics we’d like to cover … and goes above and beyond in ensuring our son grasps complex problems. She genuinely cares and takes the time to explain the various topics at hand - and she does it in a non stressful way. If you are looking for a kind, reliable and extremely experienced math tutor who makes every lesson fun, productive & engaging, I highly recommend Kate!!

My daughter was very comfortable with her.

She was very knowledgeable and broke down all of the problems so she could understand. My daughter has been struggling all year with algebra 2, and with one sitting with Kate she received a 90% on her test the very next day.
