What I like most about tutoring is seeing the ?lightbulb? go off in a student?s eyes when they make a connection and begin to understand the patterns of grammar and sentence structure. I try to make tutoring fun, coming up with real-world and humorous examples, not just because it makes the time go buy more quickly, but because this is a good way to help people to cement concepts in their minds and to apply those concepts when they are on their own or taking a test.I minored in English an...

My son feels that the lessons that Kathleen is providing are helping. Can wait to see how the first test come out as a result of the tutoring and added support

Kathleen is very good at teaching Spanish! She is knowledgeable and patient.
- Shejiang W. from Littleton, CO
Kathleen's background as a technical writer in English and Spanish shows as she is able to teach how to write in Spanish--sentence construction, conjugations, etc.
- Jeff S. from Marietta, GA
Kathleen wrote a religious essay for one of scholarships and it is the best one I?ve ever read. It hits all the key points I wanted to talk about but stays focused on the topic. :)

Kathleen had several examples that addressed my needs for a template. After working through those, she graciously kept digging deeper into her repertoire for each question I asked. I ended up with very applicable templates - my goal!

- Yuwen M. from Washington, DC
Kathleen helped me with an assignment for my Spanish class. She responded quickly to my messages and agreed to meet with me at my zoom address so that I could record the session. I was very pleased with the session.

Kathleen was so great with my son-who is taking 9th grade Spanish. She made the concepts so easy to understand, and has great examples that he can continue to study. Highly recommended. My son cannot wait for another lesson!!! Awesome!
- Emily W. from Manassas, VA
Kathleen was intentional in learning my goals and structuring the lesson accordingly. She taught me basic rules of the language and then we put it into practice. She was warm and encouraging and overall instilled a since of confidence in me that I CAN learn Spanish ? something that has been my Mount Everest for years and years!!
- Virginia F. from Atlanta, GA
Kathleen really takes the time to work through what you?re personally struggling with and has a clear and thorough understanding and proficiency in Spanish! Can?t wait for our next lesson!

I set up the sessions for my 14 year old daughter. I asked her what her thoughts were about her tutor, and she is very happy. My daughter is not fond of school, and looks forward to her lessons every week. I am glad we found Kathleen.

Today was a first session. There, we practiced sample questions from a textbook. She explains topics very clearly. It was a great session. Looking to continue the weekly session.

My daughter has had two lessons so far and I can tell it's helping. We are doing weekly lessons to help my daughter become a better writer and a jump start on her Spanish for her class in the fall. I like how she goes over the paper with my daughter by walking her through proper English and punctuation, as well as different ways to write things so it's not so redundant. She is also great with breaking down the Spanish with my daughter. She keeps my daughter engaged with the lesson by having her practice saying things and writing then in Spanish. It truly is just as good as her being in her upcoming class. Plus any time a teenager says I really like her at the end of a lesson, is a win! We will definitely be using Kathleen on a regular basis.
- JANEA B. from Phoenix, AZ
She was awesome, good tutor. Very knowlegable and proficient at ESL and powerpoint. would definitely recommend to another student. She went back and went over and corrected my presentation and even sent some clip art.
