Kathryn worked with our daughter to prepare for the 2026 ACT. Throughout the process, we discovered that she is far more than a test preparation tutor. Kathryn considers the whole student before, during, and after the tutoring period. She took the time to understand our teenager’s personality, interests, learning style, communication preferences, pacing, and strengths and weaknesses, including her ADHD.

In addition, Kathryn has developed a precise, rigorous, and highly effective test preparation program supported by practical advice, structured guidelines, strategy, and comprehensive practice material. Her objective is to ensure her students are fully comfortable with the content and question formats, while helping them remain focused on gaining admission to their top-choice colleges. By combining her expertise, background, creativity, and interpersonal intuition, she delivered exceptional results, helping our daughter elevate her scores from the low 20s to earn a place on Kathryn's "Wall of Fame."

Our daughter left each session motivated, confident, and prepared to practice. Kathryn also maintained consistent communication with us, helping align our messaging around goal prioritization, time management, executive functioning, and managing the pressures of junior year. Professional, highly intelligent, efficient, results-oriented, and very well-liked by our daughter (!), Kathryn was the ideal partner for our family, and her services are exceptionally worthwhile.

Kathryn was incredibly supportive and helped me achieve a score I didn’t think was possible. She is very understanding and teaches me the way I learn best. She is very experienced with the ACT and taught me exactly what to expect and how to navigate the test. The ACT seemed overwhelming at first, however, with Kathryn’s help, I was as prepared as I possibly could be by the time the test came. I could not be happier with my results!

Kathryn was very helpful and motivating. We moved at an adequate pace that worked for me. I think the most important thing I gained was confidence in my test-taking skills through the learning of good shortcuts and strategies.

I had a great experience working with Kathryn! She helped me stay on top of the college application process, eventually helping me to get into all of the UC schools to which I applied, as well as several other competitive Engineering schools. I am now honored to work with her as an Associate Tutor, helping students with Calculus-related schoolwork. Fantastic experience overall!
