What Our Clients Are Saying
“I worked with Dr. T on my college essay and supplements. Dr. T was able to give me helpful feedback for my college essay quickly and efficiently. She assisted in guiding me in choosing the best topics for me to explore and she was able to answer any questions I had to get my essay in the best shape possible. She was an amazing asset during a super stressful process, and I’m so happy that I had access to her as a resource.”
-High School Senior
“I have had the privilege of working with Katrina for two years. She is an amazing tutor. Katrina helped me through the entire process of a high-school English course, from picking out and analyzing motifs and themes to making my writing clear and concise. She is a master of both the categorical areas of writing (including well-chosen evidence, having arguable claims, etc.) and the more elusive aspects of a good paper (making the writing "flow" nicely). Katrina worked in a style that both provided underlying support and encouraged me to craft my own nuanced ideas about the texts I was reading. Tutoring with Katrina has been a conversation centered around fostering curiosity rather than a lecture or test. I am grateful to work with such a patient, wise, and humorous tutor.”
-Rising 12th Grader
“I have been working with Dr. T for 4 years now. I started in the summer of 6th grade when my English Language Arts skills needed strengthening and I needed to gain confidence as a writer. Since starting to work with Dr. T I am receiving higher grades on my English papers. During our meeting time, while working on developing my writing skills, Dr. T helps me in a variety of areas from where I need a comma to which form of a word I need to use to how to further develop a paragraph and how to offer stronger textual analysis. Due to this, my writing techniques have improved in so many ways, and I now also understand the "why" behind why we do certain things in certain ways. The biggest accomplishment to me is the fact that I can turn a little thought or sentence into a strong paragraph that I am proud of. Thanks to Dr. T, my reading, writing, and critical thinking skills have improved.”
-10th Grader
“I have known Katrina for the past 5 years and she has worked with two of my children in different capacities; in both group and 1:1 settings. They both connected with her immediately and always enjoyed working with her. She is an amazing teacher who is kind, caring, flexible, and easy to work with. She develops strong connections with her students which serves as the foundation for working on challenging skills in a safe way. Katrina is a wonderful and skilled teacher who knows how to scaffold information and teach skills in a way that is accessible to each student. My kids love working with her and have made huge improvements in the areas of English comprehension and writing skills, as a result of her teachings.”
