Bio

Learning is a very personal experience, and I feel that it is best to tailor my tutoring style to fit the student's needs. That said, you really have to mesh well with your tutor, and I may not be the right fit for everyone. I know that there are many learning styles, and my own varies by subject. I also know that learning can be very frustrating; I found myself on more than on occasion feeling like the teacher wasn't answering the question I was trying to ask and I didn't know how to...

Learning is a very personal experience, and I feel that it is best to tailor my tutoring style to fit the student's needs. That said, you really have to mesh well with your tutor, and I may not be the right fit for everyone. I know that there are many learning styles, and my own varies by subject. I also know that learning can be very frustrating; I found myself on more than on occasion feeling like the teacher wasn't answering the question I was trying to ask and I didn't know how to rephrase it. So, I try to listen and really ensure that I am answering the question they are really asking.

I began my tutoring career by tutoring friends in my university classes; I discovered that as much as it helped them it also helped me. Then I realized that I absolutely love tutoring. When I discovered that my university had a peer tutoring program, I put in an application and couldn't wait for an interview. At that point I was hired by my university to tutor Organic Chemistry and Physics. There is truly nothing better than doing what I love and seeing the mental light bulb turning on. I have spent approximately 3 years tutoring peers and 7 years tutoring professionally math and science courses.

Onto my background, I have most of a bachelor's degree in Chemistry, with an emphasis on Organic, that I would some day like to complete. With that degree plan, I have had to take basic Chemistry and Biology classes, of which I tested out of via AP tests. I have taken multiple Organic Chemistry courses, as well as Analytical and Physical Chemistries. Naturally, I have also enjoyed classes in Physics, both Algebra and Calculus based. Lastly, I had the pleasure of taking Calculus 1 all the way through Calculus 3. I have also been fortunate to spend some time babysitting my friend's kids, and have had many teachable moments. I am very comfortable with high school courses all the way into college and beyond.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have taken math classes through Calculus 3, and was in advanced math classes throughout high school and college.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have been in accelerated math classes my entire life, and have also taken all the way through calculus 3.
Biochemistry

Biochemistry

I majored in chemistry after switching schools and being in a genetics program. I have many different viewpoints on biochemistry to help you learn more efficiently.
Biology

Biology

I took and passed the AP biology test with a 5.
Calculus

Calculus

I've taken accelerated (PAP, honors) math courses from pre-algebra through to calculus 3.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I majored in Chemistry in college, and have taken through physical chemistry. General chemistry is the basis of your entire chemical and biological education. Also, I took AP chemistry in high school; I did take the AP test for it, and was awarded all of my general chemistry college credit (8 hrs worth).
Geometry

Geometry

I've been in accelerated math courses my entire life, and I've taken through calculus 3, including Geometry.
Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

I have actually taken several iterations of this class, and fell in love with it. At Youngstown State University I earned an A and then a B in Organic I and II respectively. I earned an A in Intermediate Organic, and I was on my way to Advanced Organic Lab when I left Ohio. I also began undergraduate research in an Organic lab where I was trying to use an organometallic catalyst to build a piano stool molecule which I could then use to hopefully activate carbon dioxide into forming carbon-carbon bonds.
Physics

Physics

I've taken high school and college level physics, both algebra and calculus based, for mechanics and electricity/ magnetism.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I've been in accelerated math classes my entire math career through calculus 3, including Prealgebra.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I tutor many students in precalculus as it is an integral (calculus pun) stepping stone to calculus, though it seems scary at first glance. I took, and excelled in, precalculus before moving on to calculus 1, 2, and 3.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I work with math students from all over the country in pre-algebra through calculus.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I've taken PAP/ AP/ honors math courses from prealgebra through to calculus 3. Though trigonometry might be my favorite math class to tutor!

My daughter love tutoring with Kacie......

My daughter enjoys tutoring with Kacie. She feels comfortable letting her know she does not understand something and want a problem explained more so she can grasp it. Kacie ask before they get started what is it she really want to focus on which helps open my daughter up to think of everything she worked on in class an still struggling with. If you are looking for a GREAT tutor stop looking and grab Kacie. You will not be waisting your time or money.

Great Teacher!

Thank you so much for all the support you’ve given my daughter! Meeting once a week, you’ve already made such a difference in just a month. Your ability to explain complex ideas so clearly has been amazing—we’re so grateful for your help.

Chemistry

Kacie is an amazing tutor. She helped my daughter move her grade from failing to a B. She is patient and can teach the information in a way my daughter can understand. My daughter gained confidence in Chemistry and locked forward to her sessions with Kacie. Highly recommend Kacie if you are looking for a tutor!

Amazing Tutor

We are so grateful to have found Kacie. She’s so kind and helpful. She has been instrumental for my daughter to improve all her grades from a B or C average to an A. We are grateful to have found her.

Jessica, 108 lessons with Kacie

Knowledgeable

Kacie is by far the best tutor. She knows her stuff and was able to provide detailed explanation on topics in ochem which my daughter almost got frustrated due to the way her professor teaches the subject.

Ruby, 10 lessons with Kacie

5 stars!

Excellent. She has truly “reached” my daughter re: all things “Buffers” In an advanced Chemistry course she is currently taking, in just 2 lessons ! We will definitely keep her in our Rolodex!

Helps me with everything I have a question for

Best tutor I’ve ever worked with. I can show her something and she knows exactly what to do and explains it so well.

perfect ochem tutor

great all around tutor and teacher. Couldn't recommend her enough. I am taking an accelerated organic chemistry class and she has made me feel quite a bit more confident knowing she will help me through it.

Scott, 62 lessons with Kacie

Very knowledgeable and understanding tutor-- helped me get an A!!

Kacie helped me so much in Organic Chemistry II this semester. This class initially caused me so much stress and anxiety because it had been years since I took OChem I, but I felt better and more confident in my abilities after each session I had with Kacie. She patiently explained concepts to me in ways that helped me understand them more than I was able to just from going to class and trying to learn on my own. She was able to fully answer my questions and always made sure that I understood the foundational concepts behind the questions I was asking. I was able to get an A in this class which I used to not think would be possible, and Kacie's help was definitely key in my being able to do that, so thank you, Kacie!!!
