Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Very individualized friendly coaching style that gets RESULTS with every student. Handle what needs to be handled but give only a quick review to confirm mastery of concepts in other areas. Build confidence at the pace acceptable to the student. I love seeing the light in their eyes or smile on their face or hearing the words of satisfaction when a student knows "I got it!" or that makes sense of "aha!" Genuinely, it's the JOY of helping another to succeed and gain their independence to continue on their own strengths. Currently services are on-line in a ZOOM format thus no in-person contact at this point. A phone conversation and agreed appointment time are required. We look forward to meeting in person when and IF possible. Until then, let's connect on my ZOOM. My expertise is MATH. Additionally I became a trainer to help others tutor Reading, Writing & Math up through 8th grade, so I cover those subjects well. I trained and supervised 10-20 Tutors each year for 10 years in California, helping hundreds of students get results each year. My biggest joy is empowering the student to know they can go on and learn whatever they want in their future. My rates are for a block of 10 hours delivered over weeks or months at your convenience, 1-3 hours per week. Working with children, I have had many background checks, all good. I am retired from engineering and 70 years old, dedicated to literacy and leadership.

We worked with Kat for our daughters both on math skills as well as English skills. She is nothing short of outstanding. She understands the learning process, and she understands kids. The results were clear and successful. We now have successful (honor roll) and independent students, thanks to the foundation that Kat lay for them. I recommend her without hesitation, and send her our many thanks.

I was desperate to find someone to help my 15 year old with algebra. Kat was able to see us today. She is so kind and patient. She made my son feel like there is hope. I loved her style and can't wait to see what the future brings. We will be seeing Kat again next week.
