Kathleen Cook

Hi! I'm Kathleen, a Computer Engineering student at Montana State University. I enjoy spending time outdoors, reading, writing, and cooking. I love working with students and helping them build confidence both in and out of the classroom.

My goal is to connect youth with opportunities that help them succeed in school, prepare for college or career pathways, and discover what they're capable of.

Over the past five years, I've worked with students ages 8–18 as a tutor, mentor, and advisor. Through FIRST Robotics and other STEM outreach programs, I've mentored young programmers, led workshops, and helped students tackle everything from homework to engineering projects. Those experiences taught me that every student learns differently, and I enjoy finding the approach that helps each one succeed.

I specialize in college readiness, including ACT preparation, scholarship planning, and college admissions. College applications and scholarships can feel overwhelming, especially if you're navigating them for the first time. I enjoy breaking the process into manageable steps and helping students build a plan that fits their goals. Through my own experience earning nearly $100,000 in scholarships and scoring a 35 on the ACT, I can offer practical advice that's based on what actually works.

Whether we're preparing for the ACT, working through homework, strengthening study habits, or planning for college, my goal is to help students leave each session feeling more confident and capable than when they arrived. I am so excited to get to know you and your family and help your student reach their goals!
