Doyle Tutoring
Prep Company
Overview
Doyle Tutoring deliberately keeps things small and personal. Run by Kathy Doyle and Chris Mayer out of Pennington, NJ, the service intentionally limits its client list to families looking for something beyond cookie-cutter test prep classes.
Kathy handles SAT and ACT preparation and has been doing it since 1998. She is a Princeton University graduate (Phi Beta Kappa, Magna Cum Laude) with a Master's in English from University College Cork, earned as a Rotary Scholar. She has led SAT and ACT programs at Stuart Academy of the Sacred Heart and The Hun School of Princeton. She teaches one-on-one sessions at her Pennington office and via Zoom.
Chris covers the learning support side -- study skills, writing and editing, vocabulary enrichment, and homework help. Also a Princeton grad with a History degree, he has been working with children since 1993 and is known for his patience and positive energy.
The best way to reach them is by email at kathy@doyletutoring.com or cbamayer@gmail.com, with a typical response time of 24 hours. You can also call Kathy at 609-532-1133 or Chris at 609-802-3880.
