About Katina

Empowering students to reach their full potential is the cornerstone of my 10-year teaching career. As a Certified paraprofessional with a graduate degree in social work, I focus on building confidence and fostering a genuine love for learning rather than simple memorization. I assess your unique learning style through active listening and observation, tailoring my methods--from visual aids to hands-on problem solving--to fit your needs. When concepts feel challenging, I break them down into manageable steps and connect the material to your personal interests to keep you engaged. Clear, open communication with you and your family remains my priority to ensure we stay aligned on your academic goals. Nothing brings me more joy than witnessing that "aha!" moment when a complex topic finally clicks. I look forward to partnering with you to make your educational journey both successful and truly enjoyable.
