Families Come to Us When…
Grades have slipped & confidence has gone with them.
Test prep feels overwhelming or poorly timed.
A good student isn't performing to their potential.
Parents are tired of managing schedules and follow-ups.
Kate’s Tutoring is a great fit if:
✔ Your child needs personalized attention and/or a small group setting
✔ You value long term, consistent support over last minute cram sessions
✔ You want a long-term academic partner who can adapt to learning styles, anxieties, and confidence issues
✔ You want clear communication and a professional, organized process
We may not be the best fit if:
✘ You’re looking for the cheapest option available
✘ You want guaranteed results without student effort or consistency
✘ You prefer large group classes or pre‑recorded content
We’re selective on purpose—because fit matters.
