We started working with Kate because my son was well below grade level in reading and nothing I was doing at home was helping him catch up. In a short time, Kate was able to give him the foundational skills he was lacking, and he is now making progress and feeling more confident. In addition to tutoring, I did a one-on-one call with Kate and I took her masterclass webinar, both of which taught me the basics of literacy and introduced me to so many resources so I can now help my son with his homework. I can’t say enough good things about Kate—she is so knowledgeable and she makes reading fun and engaging. I’m so glad we found her!

Kate had a natural way of connecting with our daughter and established a positive relationship from the get go. She identified strengths and areas of improvement quickly and provided structured lessons with just the right mixture of fun and hard work. Kate helped our daughter build self-belief, confidence and self-esteem. Our daughter is doing so well in school now and Kate has contributed greatly to this achievement.
