Katherine: ACT Math course instructor
...at an ABA agency in the Washington, DC area for the past few years. My job includes creating measurable milestones to help learners achieve their goals, and determining what teaching methods will be most effective for each individual client. I believe that active student responding, personalized programs, and a focus on measurable goals are all important components of a successful learning experience. I hope to bring these same strategies to the students at Varsity Tutors!
