"Kate was a terrific teacher. The RICA contains a ton of information, but she covered it in a way that was relevant and memorable. She covered both the test content, and test-taking strategies ... I would definitely recommend this class to someone preparing for the RICA exam." - RICA student

"Kate was a wonderful instructor!!!!" - Vanesa C.

"The test prep was thorough and covered all the domains for the test. The teacher shared additional insights and tips for the test - the instructor has taken the test on multiple occasions. I really enjoyed how the instructor had the group work sentence by sentence on the writing samples. The brainstorming was helpful in processing and remembering the material." - Jennifer B.
