About Kate


Bio

Hi! My name is Kate and I'm an MCAT tutor with over five years of experience. I've helped dozens of students craft a study plan, learn the material, and attack their weaknesses to improve their scores. I am a test-taking strategies expert and I work with you to develop an air-tight plan for test day.

If I were a cell, I'd be a B cell, because they're always trying to improve the quality of their work! I like to make studying fun -- you've got to have a sense of humor about how hard...

If I were a cell, I'd be a B cell, because they're always trying to improve the quality of their work! I like to make studying fun -- you've got to have a sense of humor about how hard Biochem can be.

I scored a 526 on the MCAT, which is in the 100% percentile. I'm very confident in my MCAT study and test-taking techniques -- take a look at my reviews to see my past students who enjoyed learning from me. I scored a perfect score on the CARS section after improving my test-taking techniques. I work with students to break down passages, analyze questions, and choose the right answer choice. I teach all four sections of the MCAT.

I'd love to hear about how your MCAT studying is going, and help you make a plan to succeed. Please feel free to reach out!

Incredibly Diligent Tutor

I first reached out to Kate after struggling with my MCAT CARS strategies. Kate helped me build my foundation from scratch, by providing me with frameworks that helped me target the CARS section more confidently. I found Kate wonderfully answered my questions, both specific and general. She uses an individualized approach, meeting your needs while also navigating you to master AAMC logic. I highly recommend Kate as a tutor

Thank you so much Moniza! You were a pleasure to work with.

Such a helpful tutor for CARS with a personalized approach!

In just 1 week, Kate helped me increased my CARS score by 3 points!! She was so patient in working through my strategy and thought process when addressing each question and offered tips and advice catered specifically to my weaknesses. She is so easy to talk to, and I felt very comfortable asking her anything I was concerned about. I would highly recommend!!

Thank you so much Ria!!

Great lesson with deep insight in college course learning tips

My daughter was really inspired by Kate's view on how to take college lessons. She was kind of discouraged after her first sememster at college. Now she feels that she can do it. That is more important than anything else. Thank you very much, Kate. You are great.

Thank you so much, Bill! Please feel free to reach out anytime.

Knowledgeable Tutor

Kate seems to be well versed in all things-MCAT. I had no idea how to approach the beast that is the MCAT, and she made a plan for me to get started. She is generally very nice and helpful. I would very much recommend.

Thank you Jacob! I’m looking forward to working together more.

MCAT Tutoring

Kate was an absolute amazing tutor. I appreciated the care she took into creating the lesson plan each day. She was always on time and made me feel very comfortable over our video-call lessons. I also appreciated the fact that she understood when I was not able to make a lesson, and allowed me to make it up on another day. Kate’s understanding of the content was second to none. She answered all my questions clearly, and gave me additional feedback. She was kind enough to be extremely patient if and when I did not understand a topic. I thank Kate for the hours she spent with me, and I would recommend her to absolutely everyone! Thank you Kate!

Thank you so much Artemis! It was so fun working with you.

Knowledgeable, Efficient and Flexible Tutor

Kate clearly knows the material cold and is super skilled at helping you break down the experiment-based passages to distill the main purpose without getting lost in the details. She is flexible and has given me a bunch of different tips to help stay engaged while reading, work more efficiently and narrow down answer choices. My practice test scores improved markedly thanks to her help, and I now feel much more confident approaching the test. She is a fantastic MCAT tutor!
