Elementary (K-6th)

I'm a certified English / ESOL teacher with over 10 years of teaching and tutoring experience. In addition to successfully homeschooling my own children, I have taught ESL in the public school setting (elementary) and I have tutored elementary-age children, using games, story-telling, and imaginative play to teach a variety of skills. As part of the intake process, I ask parents to complete a short survey of the child's interests so that I may effectively personalize learning for maximum success! 📚

Patient and effective

Katherine helped the student solve a specific topic. She got in, understood the problem and got it done. Super helpful and I would highly recommend her. She has the ability to connect with the student.

Katherine is very patient with my son who speaks little English. She prepared the context to make the lesson fun and of the right difficulty level for him. She kept interacting with my son to make sure he is engaged and guided him when he had difficulties.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Katherine helped my daughter with her writing, particularly the importance of planning the essay or story, prior to commencing the actual writing of the piece. My 10 year old was used to jumping right in, and winging it, but working with Katherine showed her the importance of planning her work.
