She has just the right balance of focus and fun to keep him interested and laughing. Besides her advanced teaching skills, she also has the patience, understanding and sense of humor needed to work with special needs children. One of her greatest strengths is her capability to quickly pinpoint the exact areas a child needs help with the most and develop an individual teaching plan that incorporates all those areas into each lesson.

Katherine has been a wonderful tutor for my 7 year old special needs son this summer. From the start, she established a caring relationship with him and that has made a huge difference in his willingness to do the work. She understands his academic and emotional needs well and teaches in a creative and flexible way. He looks forward to his visits with Katherine! I highly recommend her as a tutor.

Jaymie may be good with children that are not developmentally delayed, but does not have the skill set to work with children with special needs. Also, she was working to provide home schooling for my autistic son and there was an outburst by my son because expectation was not set, my son became agitated, grabbed for Jaymie and after that incident she quit with no notice.
