For as long as I can remember I have had a certain knack for English, specifically reading. From a young age, I was placed in advanced reading classes and scored high on standardized testing. Once I s... tarted my high school career I continued to excel and took an AP English class. Not only do I have experience in the public school system I was also homeschooled for seven years(fourth grade to tenth grade). For my early elementary years, I attended a public school and for my junior and senior of high school, I attended a local high school. I also have years of experience working with kids. I first started volunteering with kids when I was thirteen years old. I would volunteer at my church to work with children. As I got older I continued to volunteer to work with different age groups (K-5th grade). This led to me taking on more responsibilities and leading kids in different group activities (small groups in the church setting). Once I got to high school I continued to volunteer but in addition to working with my church, I started volunteering with my local elementary school. During my time at the elementary school, I worked with the school's robotics team and helped the kids compete in FIRST robotics competitions. As a university student, I have continued to work with local schools to help children succeed. My university's ISE Chapter actually partnered with a local school in the summer of 2021 to tutor children. Now, how does this information make an impact? Well, being homeschooled has taught me how to prepare lesson plans and actively put them into action. My years of experience working with kids in various settings has taught me how to connect with them and make sure they truly understand what is being taught to them. Every child is different and they will all learn differently it is up to us (teachers, tutors, parents, etc.) to find a method that works best for them. read more

Hello! My name is Katherine but I go by Kat. I was born and raised in Michigan and have been smitten with the mitten my whole life! I moved to the Midtown/Downtown Detroit area in 2019 but have been a... ttending my university since 2018. I am currently studying Industrial Engineering and getting a minor in Business. I have loads of experience in the technical field from operating CNC machines to being certified in FANUC machinery. I have worked in several jobs that have helped further my engineering career and now I am taking a turn to focus on the more business aspect of my degree specifically marketing. In my free time, I like to visit family and my friends. I also enjoy doing my makeup! I view it as a form of art where the medium is easier for me to control. However, I have been doing some dabbling with paint recently. I also enjoy doing "art" digitally. I refer to it as "art" because I just make electronic planners and calendars. I have worked with kids for as long as I can remember and in numerous settings from churches to schools. I enjoy tutoring because I am passionate to help others succeed, especially children. My mom is a teacher and watching her student's faces light up when they learn a new concept makes me motivated to spread that same light. I believe that everyone is different and we all will learn differently, so what may work for one student might not for the next. I like to approach tutoring with this in mind "what will help them learn the best?". It is all about the student and helping them succeed and doing whatever I can to accomplish that. It is all about progress, not perfection.read more
