"I had a wonderful experience with this tutoring service. I was studying for my CSET 2 and was struggling to find a good tutor. Thankfully, I found Kate's Tutoring, and she connected me with an amazing tutor. Kate also worked with me on a payment plan, which allowed me to get tutoring when I needed it. I absolutely recommend finding a tutor here—they are amazing!"

"Our family has been working with Kate for years. We initially sought her help for our eldest’s test prep, and she was phenomenal. Our son scored in the 30s on his ACT and got accepted to a top-tier school. During the pandemic, Kate kept our younger kids on track. We feel so lucky to have found someone as versatile as Kate."

"Kate came highly recommended, and she lived up to every expectation. My son, who is shy and reserved, clicked right away with Kate. His test scores on both the ISEE and the HSPT were excellent. Kate is very easy to connect with, and she always responded promptly to any questions I had. I am extremely pleased with the results!"

"Kate is a great tutor! She helped our older daughter with test prep and has been working with our younger daughter on general school work during this period of remote learning which has been really helpful. We highly recommend her services."

"From our daughter... Kate is teaching me this thing that, when you don't know something, you just need to keep writing. You don't stop even when you don't know the answer or you don't want to write. If you just keep writing... that's then it comes to you. She's right. It does. I like Kate. She's teaching me a bunch of stuff."

"Kate [and her tutors were] super helpful tutoring me through calculus. They are incredibly reliable, smart, and helpful. Would definitely recommend."
- Riley H. - Twin Cities, MN
"I can't recommend Kate enough. She helped my daughter improve her ACT score after we saw no improvement with a large test prep company. Kate knows these tests inside and out and provided great strategies for the individual challenges my daughter faced. One-on-one tutoring with Kate made all the difference!"
- Michelle C. - Parent - Los Angeles, CA
"Kate's by far one of the best tutors in the area! She’s extremely personable and accommodating, and her tutoring skills are unmatched. Kate connected with my son right away and made learning fun, which led to a significant improvement in his grades. I've recommended her to all my friends!"
- George G. - Parent
"Kate helped my daughter achieve a 33 score in her ACT on the first attempt! I would definitely recommend her to assist with test taking tips and essay writing under exam conditions. Thank you Kate!"
- Lucy H. - Parent - Glendale, CA
"Kate is so great! She has a fantastic blend of smarts, ability to quickly connect and hone in on where the learning needs to take place. She worked with my son to prep for middle level ISEE. He made so much progress over the time he worked with Kate. She was really easy to coordinate with and she was flexible with schedule and location. She was always well prepared and got to work with my son within a minute of sitting down. She's a talented teacher especially with writing, reading comprehension, vocabulary (but covered math really well too) - pushes for a high bar, while remaining positive, keeping a sense of humor and keeping it real (she doesn't let any time get wasted in excuses or fussing around). Our family had a really great experience with her. High recommends for Kate!"

"Kate has been tutoring my son since January, and we are extremely happy with her. She is very professional and knowledgable in a variety of subject areas. I originally sought her help because my son, a 7th grader, needed assistance with time management, organization, and writing. She has been super helpful in these areas. She has been able to help him focus his writing and researching skills. Additionally, she has great ideas for organization and time management. My son really enjoys working with her, and he feels that it is definitely helping him stay on top of his assignments. Working with a middle schooler can be daunting, but Kate is very patient and relates well to kids. I would highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a private tutor."

"My 6th graders were struggling in math and language arts when we moved here from another state this fall.
Fast forward 5 months later and they both feel way more confident AND their grades have improved!
For me, I am most pleased with the new confidence and that they both go to tutoring without complaining. It really has taken a lot of pressure off of mom and dad. Thanks Ms. Kate. I took a chance off the internet based on your reviews and I am very pleased I did."
