Meet Kathy

Kathy Palmieri is a retired third-grade teacher who spent the majority of her distinguished career in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. With more than three decades in the classroom, she developed deep expertise in helping young learners find their footing — especially those who needed a little extra support.

Throughout her career, Kathy worked extensively with students with learning disabilities and Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), providing compassionate, tailored instruction that honored each child's unique way of learning.

Now she brings that same warmth, patience, and expertise to private tutoring — giving every child the one-on-one attention they deserve, right in the comfort of their own home.

What We Work On

Core skills for elementary learners, taught with patience and care.

Reading & Phonics

Building strong readers from the ground up. Phonics, fluency, comprehension, and a love of books.

Writing

Sentence structure, spelling, creative writing, and the confidence to put ideas on paper.

Math Foundations

Number sense, addition & subtraction, multiplication, fractions — built with patience and hands-on practice.

Study Skills & Organization

Homework strategies, time management, and building good habits early to set students up for success.

A different kind of tutoring

Not a classroom. Not a worksheet packet. Real, personalized support from someone who truly cares.

Individualized Attention

Every session is tailored to your child's specific needs, learning style, and pace. No cookie-cutter lesson plans — just focused, responsive teaching.

IEP & Learning Disability Experience

Decades of hands-on experience supporting students with IEPs and learning differences. Kathy knows how to reach every learner.

In-Home Convenience

Kathy comes to you. No driving, no waiting rooms — just focused learning in the comfort of your own home.
