"I’m Cat, an expert NYC-based tutor with 16 years of full-time, one-on-one tutoring experience. I offer lessons tailored to each student’s needs, a proven record of phenomenal score improvements, and glowing references from over 12,000 tutoring hours outside of Wyzant. My specialties:

MATH: My rate for math tutoring is $190/hour. I cover calculus, precalculus, algebra, prealgebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, number theory, elementary school math, and more. I provide personalized lesson plans and move at the student's pace. With my help, students at all levels build confidence and tap into their natural curiosity. They learn to ask good questions, privilege understanding over memorization, tolerate temporary confusion, and persevere through hard problems.

TEST PREP: My rate for test prep is $250/hour. I cover all sections of SAT, ACT, PSAT, ISEE, SSAT, SHSAT, HSPT, TACHS, GRE, GMAT, LSAT. Success on standardized tests is not about relearning academic content from scratch; it's about thinking like a testmaker, decoding question tasks, and incorporating strategies that allow you to apply and demonstrate what's already in your wheelhouse. I know these tests forwards and backwards, and my tips and tricks can lead to amazing score growth.

I have experience with gifted students, foreign language students, and students with ADHD, OCD, dyslexia, and executive functioning challenges. Most of my tutoring is online, but see my rate details for info about in-person tutoring. If you're unsure about the nuts and bolts of online tutoring, please don't hesitate to ask and I'll provide the first session half off so that you can see how it works.

I grew up in Milton, Massachusetts, studied philosophy at Grinnell College in Iowa, and have lived in New York City since 2010. I work as a full-time tutor, and I'm a writer, podcast producer, and magazine editor on the side. I have attended PROMYS for Teachers for two summers, a program for math educators focused on fostering deep mathematical thinking." less...
