Bio

I have over 35 years of experience teaching all levels of math from high school Algebra I and II to Calculus as well as Engineering Statics and Dynamics. I loved every minute of teaching for each of those years. Now that I am retired, I miss working with students, so I have decided to tutor face-to-face but online. My students had extremely high success rates (and I was not an easy grader). Their success and reviews were the foundation of the teaching awards I received from my local...

I have over 35 years of experience teaching all levels of math from high school Algebra I and II to Calculus as well as Engineering Statics and Dynamics. I loved every minute of teaching for each of those years. Now that I am retired, I miss working with students, so I have decided to tutor face-to-face but online. My students had extremely high success rates (and I was not an easy grader). Their success and reviews were the foundation of the teaching awards I received from my local college, my state and ultimately my selection as the CASE/Carnegie U. S. Professor of the Year for Community Colleges.

My Engineering PhD was Interdisciplinary and enabled me to bridge the gap between the education theory and cognitive engineering views of the learning process. Combining all these complementary, yet diverse, areas of expertise, and my training as an engineer to be a a fixer, I will do whatever it takes to help a student be successful. Students have told me that my many nominations are because I obviously love teaching and work so diligently to help them.

I have taught Beginning and Intermediate Algebra (equivalent to Algebra I and II in high school), College Algebra, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus I and Engineering Statics and Dynamics for decades! My three degrees are all in engineering and that knowledge helps me to explain math theory in practical terms. You may only need to have a brief question answered, which I will be happy to do. However, if you feel you need long term help throughout a semester, I would like to teach you not only the math but also help you determine the best strategies for you to learn, study and take tests so that you would, hopefully, not need a tutor in your next math or engineering classes.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I would be pleased to work with you to improve your math skills, find more effective and efficient study and test taking strategies, and provide advice for achieving your math or engineering degree.

Calculus 1

I highly recommend her to anyone needing help with Calculus. She tutored my daughter for about 6 months. She has a doctorate degree and 35 years of experience teaching college level math classes, also serving as the dean of the college. She’s outstanding. She’s a wealth of information, and she’s good at making difficult concepts easier to learn. Her “rate my professor” reviews from her college students are excellent too. I could go on and on, but really I just feel very fortunate to have found her.

Anna, 33 lessons with Kathryn

Amazing tutor!

I needed help with Calculus and Kathryn was great! She explained so well and helped me break down certain topics I couldn't understand in my lecture class. Highly recommend!

Lauren, 3 lessons with Kathryn

Knowledgeable and structured

Kathryn was wonderful to work with our son in Engineering Statics. Over just a couple sessions, she helped him understand concepts he had missed and shared helpful tips. I definitely recommend Kathryn.

One of the best tutors!

Exceptional Tutoring Experience! Kathryn is not just another tutor; she stands out with her unique approach to teaching. Demonstrating remarkable patience, she employs effective strategies that turn complex topics into comprehensible concepts. Her dedication to ensuring understanding is evident in each session. Beyond her technical expertise, she creates a positive learning environment that makes tackling challenging subjects more approachable. I can confidently say that my grasp on the material has vastly improved under her guidance. I wholeheartedly recommend Kathryn as a tutor to anyone looking to truly understand and excel in their studies.

Excellent and Knowledgeable Statics Tutor

Kathryn was an amazing tutor, she was extremely knowledgeable in the subject and very patient with my intermediate step questions. She explained everything very thoroughly and knew exactly what she was doing. I would 100% recommend. -Juan

Jessica, 5 lessons with Kathryn

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Kathryn is amazing. She is patient and very detailed. Kathryn is able to really break down a problem and explain in a way that is understandable. She will go above and beyond to make sure your child understands math. We are very pleased.

Candice , 11 lessons with Kathryn

Amazing Precalc Tutor

My daughter needed help preparing for a difficult precalc test. Her teacher had the whole class confused about some important topics so we turned to Kathryn for help. My daughter had an amazing session with Kathryn! My daughter got a great deal of clarity about the material. She said that if Kathryn was her teacher at school, she'd be flying through precalc and truly understanding what she is doing. I highly recommend Kathryn!

Vicki, 2 lessons with Kathryn

Knowledgeable and patient college Algebra tutor.

Kathryn spent time going over my algebra background to determine my level of knowledge and where to direct my touring hours for future development so I can pass this mandatory college intermediate algebra class.

Margaret, 5 lessons with Kathryn

Kathryn is the BEST!

My HS Jr son was struggling in pre calculus and in just a few sessions was so much more confident. We will use Kathryn whenever we hit the slightest bump in the road. Look no further for a great tutor!

Drew, 3 lessons with Kathryn

Excellent teacher!

Kathryn has been tutoring me for almost a year now and has always been so helpful, school and advising wise. She has always gone out of her way to help me, even when it has nothing to do with math. She is an amazing person and is an AMAZING teacher. Half the time, she is the only person that helps me understand.
