UK & US Schools and University Consulting
A Cambridge Natural Sciences graduate, medical doctor and former McKinsey consultant, Dr Katherine has advised hundreds of families on UK, US and IB applications to schools and universities.
Katherine graduated from Trinity College, University of Cambridge in 2012 with a First in Natural Sciences and the Cambridge University Physiology Prize for her dissertation, before qualifying in medicine with Distinction at King’s College London. Raised in both Princeton, New Jersey and Cambridge, England, she was offered undergraduate places at Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Caltech and Cambridge, and knows the differences between the American and British education systems first-hand.
Katherine founded Wentworth Tutors and worked as a strategy consultant at McKinsey. As an education consultant she has worked with hundreds of families across the US, UK and IB systems on applications to schools, universities and beyond, and led international relocations and homeschooling placements. She has tutored since 2005, privately and in the non-profit sector, across History, English, Mathematics, the sciences and the SAT, ACT and SSAT, and organised pro bono mentoring and application coaching for more than 100 inner-city London students.
Katherine combines rigour and discipline with a relaxed, engaging style. She asks questions that help students articulate how they learn, encourages them to bring structure to every problem, and makes a point of welcoming their questions, which she finds are often the key to real understanding.
