    Experienced teacher and tutor with proven results for standardized exam prep

    As a tutor and former English teacher, I have prepared students for state exams, SAT, AP, and GED/HSE. I have designed school wide assessments and curriculum for testing preparation and study skills development. We will create a plan that works for you, including identifying learning outcomes, regular assessment and timely feedback, determining skills gaps for re-teaching and/or remedial instruction, gaining complete familiarity with testing formats and scoring, and discussion and practice of methods for reducing test anxiety.

    About katrina K.

    5.0
    (1)
    English teacher and school librarian with several years additional experience individual tutoring, remedial instruction, homework help and exam preparation. My teaching style is cheerful and engaging, with a clear and focused approach that meets students where they are at and checks for understanding throughout the lesson. Students I work with consistently demonstrate skills improvement, confidence building and reach or exceed learning outcomes. Students are self-empowered and achieve greater self efficacy through learning by doing. Rated a highly effective teacher who self-identifies as a lifelong learner, I enthusiastically welcome diverse learners of all age groups and educational backgrounds.
