Kate

I am a certified Science, Mathematics, and Psychology teacher with over 15 years of experience teaching and tutoring online (and in-person) to students in Science, Math, and ELA ranging from 1st grade through adulthood. I have a bachelor's degree in Biology from Bryn Mawr College and a Master of Arts in Secondary Education from Rockhurst University.

Tutoring Style

I am an enthusiastic and empathetic teacher who prides myself on meeting each individual student in their own unique place. I excel at using real-world metaphors to bring concepts alive for students. I like to use questioning to help clarify concepts, and always work to improve students' confidence in their own skills and abilities.

Success Story

One of my favorite success stories is my first AP Psychology student. This student had always been a solid science student, but I saw her confidence and her abilities grow exponentially as she worked through her AP course. I saw her go from being afraid to be wrong, to enjoying being challenged academically and becoming empowered by the process. Today she works at the National Institutes of Health, and she told me that her love for science first blossomed when she took that course with me.
