"I'm Kat! I am a BSc in Applied Mathematics graduate with over a decade of hands-on tutoring experience. I've guided students of all levels( whether they're struggling with basic arithmetic or gearing up for the SAT, ACT, or ISEE) toward measurable improvement and genuine confidence in math. My time at Mathnasium and my years teaching English as a second language have taught me how to explain complex concepts in clear, relatable terms, and to tailor every lesson to each student's unique learning style.

My tutoring philosophy is rooted in active engagement and real-world application. Rather than just memorizing formulas and rules, I help students build a strong conceptual foundation, breaking problems into manageable steps and encouraging questions every step of the way. I blend structure practice with creative problem-solving exercises, use visual aids when needed, and assign targeted homework that reinforces what we cover together. Above all, I strive to create a supportive, patient environment where mistakes are treated as learning opportunities and progress is celebrated.

In my free time, you'll find me traveling to new places, diving into art history, or enjoying some good comedy. I love spending time in the outdoors whenever I can, and I'm currently learning Spanish. I bring this same curiosity and enthusiasm to my tutoring sessions, with the goal of helping students discover not only how to solve math problems, but also how to enjoy the journey of learning." less...
