HELLO  THERE!

I'm Miss Katie 🙋🏼‍♀️. I used to go by Miss Zielinski, but "Miss Katie" is easier for students to say. 😊

I have been told by many that I'm a 'natural' at teaching & working with young kids; it's definitely a big part of who I am!

✏️ Focus of my Outschool classes is on teaching basic concepts in a fun setting, providing students with opportunities to practice their writing skills, and creating a friendly space for students to share their ideas with others

✏️ Relationship building is so important to me as a teacher! I love getting to connect with students on Outschool in small group and one-on-one settings, and I enjoy having the chance to help build the confidence & spark the creativity of young learners
