What truly sets Kat apart, though, is her mentorship. She goes beyond teaching language; she takes the time to understand her students, their personal challenges, and what might be holding them back. This deep understanding helps her to unlock potential and ensure real progress. If you’re looking for someone who will not only teach with excellence but also invest in the long-term success of her students, Kat is the person you can trust.
A. C.: Parent
Besides giving me many tools to help me learn throughout all my classes, Ms. Páez was very understanding and made sure to connect with me personally and be a life line if I ever needed someone to talk to, and so that I’d never feel ashamed coming in for help. She helped me to trust myself more and be excited to learn new topics and not be scared to make a mistake.

Her guidance greatly boosted my confidence. Being a student who struggles heavily with anxiety, Páez always went the extra mile to accommodate my needs, helping reduce my stress during tests and assignments... helping me build on my strengths while addressing and sharpening my weaknesses.
Cole
She empowered me to be loud and unapologetic. Ms. Páez exuded warmth out of her presence and was a guide, a leader, and paved a path for all others she came across. A person who was always there and never left you without a heart full of her caring essence.

She changed my life! Whether through class or club, Señora Páez was always a source of support, encouragement, and comfort. She saw my potential in Spanish and pushed me to take AP classes... I wouldn’t be the person I am today without her.
Hannah
She was always willing to help. I never was the smartest, but I could always go to Ms Páez after class or school and get help. When my motivation was low she would reach out in a kind manner and offer to help. Help me figure out a plan that worked for me.
Calvin
Her influence has guided me to be a leader. Señora Páez has been a transformative teacher in my life and I don’t know where I would be today without her guidance. She saw my potential and helped me become comfortable and confident in speaking Spanish as well as in life.
Gabbie
I thank her for pushing me and trusted her. I realized French 1 was surprisingly easy for me because I could relate it to Spanish. Páez, being multilingual, noticed my understanding of the language and took those strengths and adapted the course for me. The next year she moved me to her French 3 course after noticing my potential.
