Hi! It is nice to meet you - thanks for viewing my profile!

I earned my Undergraduate degree in Ecology and Environmental Science from the University of Maine and received my Masters degree in Education from the American Museum of Natural History. I am currently pursuing my second Masters degree in Environmental Science from the University of Pennsylvania.

I am a certified Earth Science Teacher for Grades 6-12 in the state of New York, and I am comfortable tutoring Biology, Earth Science, Ecology, Environmental Science, or anything within the life sciences, generally. I am also comfortable with general middle school science.

I have 3+ years of teaching experience in middle school and high school in addition to 2+ years of private tutoring experience. I am an enthusiastic educator that can bring content that your child is struggling with to life. I am always aiming to meet my students where they are, recognizing that my work is to help them with the areas they are struggling with, while also helping them become more independent and confident for their future academic endeavors.

If all of this sounds good, please feel free to reach out. As this is not my full time job and I do work 9-5, I would prefer my work with your child to be in an online setting. Thank you, and I look forward to connecting soon. All the best!

Kate is great!!

My son really enjoys his sessions with Kate. She’s super accessible and explains things in an easy to follow manner. It’s our 2nd year with her b/c my son had such a positive experience the 1st year. He actually said, “it’s time to bring back Kate!”.

Makes learning fun and easy to understand

My daughter met with Kate to prepare for her Earth Science test and she felt so confident after meeting with her. She said that Kate made the material easy to understand and used visuals and cute ways of remembering the information. My daughter is also very shy, but Kate made her feel super comfortable in answering questions. We will definitely be using her again as a resource :)

Helpful, Responsive, and Fantastic Tutor

Kate saved the day with a last minute review session before my daughter's APES exam. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and super encouraging. She even sent additional review materials and tips for taking the test. My daughter can't wait to work with Kate again!
