“We had an outstanding experience working with Kathy at Capital Learners Educational Consulting for HSPT tutoring. From the very beginning, she was incredibly knowledgeable, organized, and supportive. She quickly identified areas where my child needed improvement and provided clear strategies and targeted practice that made a real difference.
We saw a noticeable improvement in scores and, just as importantly, a big boost in confidence. Kathy made what could have been a stressful process feel manageable and encouraging.
I’m so grateful for her help and will absolutely be using Kathy again to support both of my boys as they prepare for the HSPT. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a skilled and caring tutor who truly gets results.”

“Our family has worked with Kathy for 10 years, and she has consistently providing outstanding support for our kids in various subjects. From elementary math to Spanish to high school biology, Kathy always finds the perfect fit in a tutor. We’ve been lucky enough to work directly with Kathy, as well as with at least 5 of her other outstanding tutors over the years. Several of them have worked with our children for 4-5 consecutive years as they progressed through math, and they’ve helped tremendously — when we needed additional challenge beyond the curriculum, summer maintenance and review, or extra regular support to help through struggles with difficult subjects. Most recently, we have had the privilege of meeting and working with a truly special biology tutor, who expertly teaches complicated material, develops quizzes and review worksheets to help study for tests, and is an all around wonderful human being. We can’t say enough about Capital Learners!”

“I worked with Capital Learners in 8th grade and had such a great experience. The sessions were personalized to the skills I needed to hone, and my tutor Kathy was supportive and genuinely cared about helping me succeed. I developed tools that helped me succeed in high school and I continue to use now in college.”

“I love that they use hands-on activities and really focus on what each child needs. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a tutor who actually makes a difference!”

“ We have been very pleased with the tutoring services provided by Capital Learners. We’ve worked with several of their tutors from Spanish to chemistry. They knew just the right way to enrich and enhance our daughter’s learning experience at school. They deepened her understanding of the material and took her learning to a whole new level.”

“I continue to see the positive impact that Kathy McIntosh has on my daughter’s school work. Kathy works with my daughter in all of the basic subjects (and we will add Spanish next year!)—helps to keep her organized, teaches her effective study and test-taking skills, and insists on thoughtful oral and written communication. Kathy’s assistance in helping my daughter keep up with her increasingly complex math assignments has been especially valuable, and gives my daughter the confidence she needs to be a successful student. Having worked with Kathy now for several years, I can recommend her wholeheartedly—and with her help and encouragement, my daughter has earned straight A’s throughout her entire first year of middle school!”

“Thank you, Capital Learners, for all of your tutoring support. Our son’s SAT score increased by 220 points. We are very thankful for the individualized study plan you put in place to help our son’s score improve. He felt well prepared and more confident taking the SAT as a result of your sessions together.”
Joan M., Chevy Chase, MD
“We were looking for someone to help our daughter improve her reading skills, and we are so lucky to have found Kathy. Our daughter’s reading has progressed faster than we had hoped, and Kathy is just as proud and excited when our daughter hits a new milestone. Kathy is incredibly committed, organized and results oriented—and our daughter loves their time together. It’s been so wonderful to see our daughter’s confidence soar, and to watch her reading skills (and her love for reading) grow.”
Beth R., Bethesda, MD
“We couldn’t have asked for better tutors. We were impressed with the high level of service your tutoring business provided. We will definitely recommend you to other families!”

“Kathy manages to both hold high expectations as well as take an individualized approach to working with her students. In my case she has been working with my son on his reading and writing over the past 18 months. She makes tutoring sessions fun and challenging. My son is motivated to do his best work for Kathy. She also makes sure to stay connected with my son’s classroom work—touching base with his classroom teacher several times during the school year and ensuring that she reviews his report cards. Through Kathy’s support, my son has made significant academic progress.”
