About Katy
I have long had a passion for teaching and inspiring students to think critically and problem solve. As a college professor, I highly enjoy watching my students engage in the material and learn to think. There really is nothing more rewarding than watching the "light bulb" go off.
A lawyer by trade, and a college professor of Constitutional Law and Government at St. Edward's University, I take a hands approach to learning. I believe that students can grasp material only when they're inspired to do so. And to inspire means relating to students and understanding their learning methods. I take an individualized approach to teaching to ensure that each student's learning needs are met.
I'm a graduate of Baylor University School of Law and St. Edwards Undergraduate where I majored in Government and Economics. While pursuing my studies, I was a teaching assistant for multiple classes, and helped facilitate lesson plans and study groups.
I believe every student can learn and grow to their full potential.
I am a lawyer by trade. As such, I have been trained to think critically and think outside the lines.
Outside of being an attorney, I am a professor at St. Edward's University in Austin. I teach Government and Constitutional Law to pre law students. Neither of these subject are easy, and it takes a lot of motivating students to learn and want to learn. There is truly nothing like engaging a 20 year old for an hour and a half. But truly nothing more rewarding than to watch them "get it."
As an undergraduate, I worked as a teaching assistant for multiple classes and tutored many students. This experience was the first time I found that one on one engagement can truly open a student up to learning and grasping concepts they were not able to in class.

I have a very individualized and specific way of teaching that includes the following approach:
1. Communication and Reinforcement: It is important to communicate with the student his/her goals in the class, for the future, and how we are going to get there. I believe that communicating progress is an important way to motivate students. Moreover, reinforcing a student's success keeps a student wanting to learn more. Calling out and building on achievements helps students find joy in learning instead of remaining frustrated.
2. Relateablite, Connect, and Understand the Individual: We all have had struggles in learning. Maybe a teacher did not explain the material well, or you simply could not grasp the concept. This happens to all of us. And many times, students just give up. I want to help student's know this happens, and its not a reason to give up. Lets find where the disconnect is, and bridge the gap. Every student learns differently, and its essential that we connect, relate, and understand where the student is falling behind, isolate the problem area, and find an effective way to teach the concept. Teaching is simply not a one size fits all.
3. Structure and Routine: Its important to provide stucture and routines to students. This allows students to engage in the topic and critically think about the subject matter, even when they're not in class. This means setting clear expectations, providing resource outlines, and being clear about what will be covered in each lesson.
