Introduction: I walk the walk and to be an authentic example to my students in demonstrating this trait I am presently studying at Cornell University. I want to instill this love of learning in all my students. My students consistently have outstanding results after tutoring with me and I am happy to share references upon request. Teaching and tutoring are our passion. We offer a free consultation to our clients and tutor most academic subjects grades six through college level. We have been tutoring test prep for over ten years with over twenty years of general tutoring experience. We absolutely love tutoring!! Do you need proof reading for your college essay applications? We are here to help and guide you in your quest to gain acceptance. Our work stands out as we are able to draw from our vast experience teaching/tutoring students and we excel at tailoring test prep and academic tutoring to the student's individual learning style. We are adept at utilizing differentiated instruction. We are extremely excited to share that 99% of our students after tutoring for twelve weeks have gained on average at least 200 points on the SAT. For the ACT the results are also remarkable- with gains of 3-4 points on average. We have designed our own strategies for the Science section on the ACT and the Reading and Writing/Language sections for both the ACT and the SAT. Our study guide is tailored to each student and provides an additional layer of understanding to increase students' test scores. One of our students went up two points on the Science section of the ACT after only one hour of tutoring. My associate and I are available to prep you for other tests as well including the SSAT, ISEE, TEAS, Accuplacer and HSAT.

Ms. Kathie is nothing short of magnificent! She has helped us starting w/ preparing for the SAT and even now w/ the scholarships. She has helped my son w/ so many of the scholarships. I can't wait to see how many we receive. My son & Ms. Kathie work very well together! Please consider her for your college needs!

My daughter needed some help to boost her SAT score, especially English, at the last minute. Kathie has lots of experience and is very professional. Furthermore, her warm personality and positive attitude encouraged her a lot and she could take the test with more confidence. And then, she could get her highest score at the last SAT. Thank you Kathie!

I’ve worked with Kathie for years! I still use her to this day as a Jr. in college. She is amazing to work with and makes everything super easy to understand! As someone with a learning disability she has been nothing but an excellent resource. Her eagerness to work with me makes it exciting every time I get to work with her. She is able to break down and deconstruct anything and is able to reconstruct it to be more understanding. She is great! Work with her if ever get the chance!

Kathie was great to work with. She was very professional and was very flexible with working out a schedule with us. My daughter enjoyed her sessions and Kathie made them engaging. She checked in with both my daughter and myself in between tutoring session to see how she was doing and if there was anything she need to work on specifically at her next session. She tutoedr her for SAT's and her score increased greatly! We asked Kathie to stay on and Tutor her for ACT's as well. We do not have results back yet but I will update. Kathie was a pleasure to work with she didn't just tutor my daughter she got to know her. My daughter enjoyed going to her sessions and she said she felt it really helped her prepare and feel comfortable the day of the test.
