About Katherine

My Tutoring Philosophy:

I teach through positive reinforcement. If I could, I’d have those words underlined and bolded. I’ve found this to be the most effective way to build a student’s confidence and even help them find joy in learning. Too often, students who struggle academically attribute lack of success to a lack of self worth. I teach that when we study, we aim not to be perfect, but to be better and more prepared than we were yesterday.

I love working with kids! I have over 6 years of experience working with kids from pre-school to middle school with the City of Mountain View, leading after-school and summer programs. The best part about helping students academically is watching their confidence grow, not only in their school work, but in themselves.

I have over 6 years of experience working with kids from pre-school to middle school with the City of Mountain View, leading after-school and summer programs. In that time I have worked with children of various abilities.

I graduated class of 2019 from UCSB in the honors program, Magna Cum Laude, with a BA in English and Theatre.

About the lesson

When working with a new student I aim to:

- Discuss the student's and/or parent's goals for tutoring

- Get an idea of the student's current comfort level in the subject

- Get an idea of the student's learning style and adjust accordingly

- Reach out to teachers if needed for curriculum

- Connect with the student on a personal/individual level

- Make the student feel comfortable and excited to learn!!!

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What are your goals? Or, what can I help you accomplish as your tutor? (For example, "I want to increase my grades" or "I want to strengthen my essay writing skills")

How comfortable are you in the class or subject you are looking for help in? (For example, "I am totally lost in math and am falling behind" or "I can follow along in class but have a hard time doing homework on my own")

What are your strengths in the subject you are looking for help in? What do you find more difficult? (For example, "I love to read but have trouble expressing my ideas about the book clearly")
