Katie’s Tutoring Services:Supporting Youth with Positive Reinforcement

By Hannah McBath October 12, 2025

A parent can never quite grasp the struggles their children face in their academic career. Sometimes it is easier to search for a trusted tutoring service, because as parents we look for only the best to help our children. As a parent who has had a child struggle, I sought out Katie’s Tutoring Services in 2023 for my oldest daughter. Katie’s ability to connect with her and build her confidence academically was astounding. It went from, “I don’t need tutoring” to “I cannot wait for tutoring” because she wanted to show Katie the 100% she got on a spelling test. 

Katie Gordon created her tutoring service in 2020 to help students navigate their way through their “new normal” of online school due to the pandemic. In the beginning days of her service, she would go to student’s homes. Being a mobile tutor helped students feel comfortable in their home environment, which is where they were spending their days academically. As time progressed, Katie decided to shift and opened her home to her students with a dedicated learning environment. While in her home, students meet her adorable roommate, Hope, and get to bond with Katie over their love of the cute pup. 

When your child is tutored by Katie, they will be taught with the Orton-Gillingham approach. This method is a structured multisensory way to teach spelling, reading, and writing. It is a great way for children to break down the skills they are missing so the gaps do not look so unachievable to them. Since there is no cookie cutter way to tutor, each child receives their own plan of action so that they can master their difficult areas and build on them. This is where Katie’s students gain more confidence in their learning. Senses that Student A may find helpful, may not work for Students B and C. You would be amazed at how far your child can go by using multiple senses to learn. 

By hiring Katie as your child’s tutor, you get peace of mind that your child is taken care of academically. So you can focus on all the other many aspects of life that come with being a parent. You will not regret it at all.
