Reasons to hire a tutor
Any student who meets one or more of the following descriptions could benefit from tutoring:
Scores lower than his/her peers on assignments repeatedly
Feels lost when his/her teacher explains concepts
Feels unmotivated to achieve greater success in school
Finds the class too easy and feels he/she is learning nothing
Has a desire to strengthen his/her writing ability
Feels he/she could improve in writing, critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills
Struggles with organization and time management
With so many different levels in one classroom, the teacher often gears lessons towards the majority. With a tutor, you get one-on-one catered help to fit your needs—whether that means guiding you through your current class work or guiding you to understand higher-level concepts.
My Credentials
I graduated college with honors and scored in the top 3% on the English Praxis exam. After graduation, I spent eight years teaching various levels of 8th and 10th grade English: regular, honors, and gifted and talented. While working at a local junior high, the principal called me the best English teacher she has ever seen; parents called in to praise my methods; and students reported an increase in writing, critical thinking, and analytical skills. Furthermore, I taught professional development courses to other teachers on various topics: critical reading strategies, the art of teaching writing, and student engagement.

Knowledgeable, Patient, Upbeat…..Perfect
Katie is a very astute English tutor. Due to her knowledge and patience we were able to accomplish all that I had hoped for in a tutoring session. English is not my favorite subject, but Katie’s upbeat personality made it much more palatable.

Best tutor at great price
Katie worked with me for a while, and I always enjoyed her visits. She had a fun style and was a good conversationalist. But more importantly, she really knew how to teach writing well. She was the best at that as she really broke it down and challenged me, and my mom thought she was worth more than she charged.

Katie helped me with a rhetorical analysis and eventual argumentative essay for college level English 102. I was having a lot of trouble with it and she was able to teach it to me in a way that I could get a handle on what I needed to do. She was very insightful and had tons of ideas for me. She had even put some time in on her own doing some research on my topic to help guide me with my outline.

She worked with my son and he got a higher score on the AP exam with her help. He also improved his grades that first year Katie worked with him. The second year she worked with him he still struggled with his reading comprehension and writing and his grades did not improve the second year.
