Philadelphia born and raised, Kaitlyn graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a BA in sociology and minors in music and cognitive science. A life-long learner and teacher, she got her first paid tutoring job in middle school. She really began honing her teaching skills in high school, when she passed chemistry mainly because she had to learn the material well enough to teach it to her friends at lunch the next day. Since then, she has worked in pre-kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school classrooms, teaching lessons on subjects including reading, math, history, and nutrition. Most recently, Kaitlyn specializes in standardized test prep, helping dozens of students achieve their goals on tests including the ACT, SAT, SHSAT, SSAT, and GED exams. She thinks about preparing for tests the same way you would train as an athlete, musician, performer, or artist: consistent, low-volume practice reinforcing proper technique will always yield better results—with less stress— than irregular, marathon sessions. Having previously worked in foster care and Head Start classrooms, Kaitlyn has experience guiding students with different learning abilities and styles, and she is prepared to adapt lessons to each individual student.
