  • "Writing used to be a daily battle, but now my daughter looks forward to writing! The creative approach Mary Kate took to teaching writing in her virtual second grade class during COVID made all the difference. Her writing instruction opened up a new skill set and a passion. Mary Kate has expertise with technology and virtual teaching. She is able to ‘reach’ her virtual students as if she is physically in the room with them."

  • “ Mary Kate didn't just help my child academically—she built his confidence. He’s more engaged in school and proud of his progress since being in her virtual classroom. My son was working on above grade level math when he entered her class and she took him even farther than we thought was possible. Not only was she able to help him acquire more complex skills she gave him problem solving strategies, strong work habits and she helped him build a growth mindset which has allowed him to love the process of learning. Being in her class was a game changer.”

    — Molly M.

  • “I have known Mary Kate for decades. She is a gifted educator. She has an impressive base of knowledge of the subjects she teaches. She not only possesses a range of methods for teaching but she applies them in creative ways that transform a student’s experience. Three of my children were in her multiage class for three years. Each of them was a different learner and each of them achieved far beyond their target growth on standardized tests. She doesn’t just cover curriculum; she takes students on deep dives through her project based learning and the results have long lasting effects that are ongoing even after students have exited her class. I highly recommend her services.”

  • “My son loved his time in Mary Kate's virtual class. He felt seen and affirmed. She was able to bring out his quirky personality and help him feel comfortable in his virtual class. He came away feeling valued and that he was a capable learner. One of the unfortunate facts of life is all of the testing that happens in schools. Mary Kate gave him strategies to cope with test anxiety and she taught him in a way throughout the year that he was more than prepared for standardized assessments. Her methods of test prep were so thorough that there were no surprises in format or content. He surpassed his target goals in both math and reading. You won’t regret enrolling your child in Mary Kate's tutoring programs.”
