Tutoring

Welcome! I have over 20 years’ tutoring experience specializing in math and science tutoring, test prep, and executive functioning coaching.

I am committed to helping students become independent, successful life-long learners. Working with me, students not only improve their understanding of academic subjects and their grades, but also their learning skills and self-esteem.

  • Kathryn tutored me in college Physics for three semesters. She was able to clearly explain concepts that I found difficult to understand like vectors, torque, and force diagrams. She did a much better job of it than my professors! Without her help I would never have managed my way through the courses. She was particularly helpful in showing me how to solve complex problems in Physics. My grades improved dramatically as a result.

  • Before the tutoring, my daughter was very confused with what had been taught in her AP Physics and AP Calculus classes. In a relatively short time of tutorial services my daughter scored an “A” on her final examinations for Physics and Calculus.

    She has regained her confidence in math and science, which I believe is a very important step towards her future academic development. Without your help, I’m sure she would not have made such an outstanding achievement. Your intelligence and patience with her throughout this time has definitely made an impression on us. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have found a good teacher like you!

  • Kathryn has helped my daughter for 2 years now with both math and science. Kathryn is patient and explains concepts in a clear, logical, and supportive manner - she engages, builds confidence, and has gained my daughter’s respect. She is a trusted partner in educating my daughter and is a true mentor in every way! I highly recommend Kathryn McCarthy!
