About Katy
I have many years of standardized test prep tutoring experience. I have been tutoring students in the ACT and SAT (including the brand new in 2016 SAT format) test prep for 4-5 years now. I have several more years or part time tutoring experience in a variety of subjects.
I began tutoring College Algebra in 2004 part time for a home schooled teenager and a non traditional college student returning to finish her college degree after raising a family. I love working with students of all ages and levels.
Over the past few years it has become apparent to me that I connect well with teens and young adults. This is the age most young people are taking their ACT, SAT, or GED tests. I love tutoring how to prep for standardized tests because it is the closest thing there is to an all inclusive comprehensive test of their required education so far. The questions on this test are not like the majority of or all others before them. Not just because they are a life long comprehensive test on the all core academic subject. The questions are testing one's skills in these areas that are derived from the learning objectives throughout K-12th grade.
I discovered that I work well with all types of learners because I focus on each one of my student's unique ways of thinking. Learning how they learn is the most effective first step teaching any student

Everyone has unique ways of processing and learning information. What is most effective for you, may be ineffective for someone else. I help students learn how to learn. Most students I have worked with have a lot of experience memorizing and cramming, but have no idea how to “learn” the same information. It is actually easier to learn, and unlike cramming, learning takes information into the long term memory, so you can utilize it at any time. Cramming is only good for one test, and as soon as it is over, you can’t remember it anymore. .
Ideally I would exhaust any and all resources at my disposal to understand how a specific client will understand the concepts at hand.
This could include past test results, IEPs, parent or family members perspectives, my various techniques of evaluation both formally and informally, and most importantly, the student. No matter the circumstances, the student will always be the best source for understanding how they learn (regardless if they know it or not!).
I use a student- focused methodology for teaching. Which simply means what I have already said.I base each approach or method of teaching on what works best for the individual WITHIN each of their individual CIRCUMSTANCES.
That second part is very important too. Most students come to me with not much time left before their test date or assignment is due. Life happens and I will adjust to your needs accordingly. I would love to be able to spend more time with everyone and do things the ideal way, but that isn’t very realistic. I am flexible and spend time creating a plan for students to accomplish their goals in the most efficient & effective ways possible. I will also make sure that you are aware of any unrealistic goals. I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t provide options including what to expect from each option, or how much time can be a factor.
I will provide updates on progress made to parents & students. Adult learners can choose if they want anyone else in the loop or not.
The most important thing: I am strengths focused, meaning I will help students access and utilize their strengths to improve in subject areas they have struggled with academically! Every mind has the ability to apply their strengths in any subject to any other subject, to reach a better understanding of concepts they have struggled with.
