Testimonials

Jon:

Cat is fantastic. In a few short weeks, our daughter went from dreading math and saying she,s bad at it – to having math be something she excels at and become one of her favorite subjects. Beyond the skills that Cat has provided our daughter, most importantly, she,s given her confidence and self-esteem. Cat is the best.

Beth:

I want to highly recommend Cat Pierro,s tutoring services. I went from a failing grade in math to a current B. I,m an older learner returning to college after more than a 20-year absence. Cat is extremely knowledgeable and patient. She takes her time to make sure you understand the topics before moving on to the next. Working online using Zoom is pretty amazing as well. What a great tutor.

Jeremy:

Cat has been my tutor for around 10 years now. She has assisted me throughout my educational journey since middle school, including helping me to prepare for the SSAT and ACT. Even today, as a college junior, Cat and I continue to work together. I find her to be an indispensable resource – an ideal person I can bounce ideas off of or ask questions when I get stuck on a complicated concept.

Cat is one of the most impactful people I,ve had in my life. While her breadth of knowledge and intelligence is impressive (and inspiring), what I find truly incredible about her is the patience and care with which she has always treated me. I would unreservedly recommend her as a tutor. She,s great.

Nicole:

Cat was awesome! It was clear she has a ton of experience! She also had a really kind and positive energy. We will definitely call her again. It was super helpful.

Zipporah:

My son has learned a lot from Cat during their sessions and I will highly recommend her. He is better prepared now to do the Algebra 2 regents. Thanks for giving him strategies he didn,t know.

Constanza:

Cat is the best tutor for the SHSAT test! She is very reliable, and always shows up fully prepared. She is super committed and incredibly patient. My daughter sometimes needs extra time to grasp certain concepts, but Cat patiently explains them until they finally click. She takes the time to explain things in different ways. Cat is also super organized. She comes to every session with a clear plan, covering all the important topics. Her organized approach makes studying a lot less overwhelming and more manageable. Cat is also super responsive. Whenever I have a question or need help outside of our sessions, she promptly replies to my emails. If you,re seeking a tutor who not only possesses a deep understanding of the subject matter but also makes studying enjoyable, Cat is the perfect choice. We are incredibly grateful to Cat for her dedication and expertise!

Kenna:

Cat helped my daughter get ready for the HSPT. She explained things very clearly and now my daughter feels more confident going in to the test. Thanks Cat!!!!!!!!

Anonymous:

Cat tutored my daughter when she was in 8th grade. My daughter already had a strong math background, but she lacked confidence in herself. It was Cat,s patience and encouragement that gave her the self-confidence she needed to succeed. Now she,s a physics major at Yale.

Jackie:

My daughter has been working with Cat for the past few months to prepare for the SHSAT in the fall. Cat is clearly an experienced tutor that provides high quality instruction and caters to the student,s individual needs/strengths/weaknesses. She keeps the work engaging and not too stressful. She clearly explains concepts, and works to reinforce material with well planned homework. Preparing for the SHSAT can feel a bit overwhelming and stressful but Cat makes it efficient and manageable. My daughter finishes each session feeling like she knows exactly what her strengths and weaknesses are and motivated to keep focused on the work. We are so happy to have found Cat as we prepare for our high school applications!

Hannah:

Cat is a great tutor. She,s patient and kind and fun. (well as fun as it is possible to be in math) Cat,s genuine interest and excitement about math are hard to ignore and you/your kid will find yourself drawn in as well. I couldn,t recommend her more highly!

Huy:

Cat supercharged my teenage daughter,s verbal and quant skills on the ISEE, taking her from good to great. Cat,s also a gifted motivator; my daughter eagerly looks forward to each session with her.

June:

Cat is a really great calculus tutor! She explains everything very patiently. I am much more comfortable with the material after meeting with her. I usually have more breakthroughs in one hour with Cat than an entire week of class in school. I highly recommend her tutoring for anyone who is looking for math help. 

H:

Lizzie had major testing anxiety and needed a serious boost in confidence. I don,t know what we would have done if we hadn,t found Cat! Cat was able to turn Lizzie,s attitude around immediately and get her excited about doing hard work instead of her usual stressing and avoidance behavior. Her SAT score ultimately went up by 220 points over her first diagnostic test, and she is now (deservedly) very proud of her accomplishment. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Julie:

Our daughter looks forward to Cat coming over each week. I never thought that would be the case when we first decided to get her a tutor.

If you,ve loved sessions with me and feel inspired to submit a testinomial of your own, I would be eternally grateful!
