About Us

Meet The Founders

Hi there! We’re Kristiana McCloud and Celine Tokat, and we’re excited to bring our combined 20 years of teaching experience to our online summer tutoring program. Throughout our careers, we’ve had the privilege of working with children ages 4-8, giving us a deep understanding of their unique developmental needs. Our experience teaching at prestigious NYC private schools has shaped our approach, enabling us to create a program that is both engaging and effective.

We specialize in crafting interactive and personalized online learning experiences, tailored to each child’s age and learning level. With extensive training in Fundations, Orton-Gillingham, Singapore Math, Responsive Classroom, and Literacy Collaborative, we’re well-equipped to adapt our expertise to the virtual learning environment. Our focus on individualized instruction ensures that each student receives the support they need to thrive academically, even from a distance.

We’re passionate about helping children develop a love for learning, and we believe that every child deserves to feel valued and supported, no matter the circumstances. Get ready for a summer filled with fun, learning, and growth as we guide the way!

Why We Started McKats Learning

As educators, we’ve seen the impact that summer break can have on students—often leading to a loss of the skills they worked so hard to develop during the school year. After spending years teaching at some of the most respected schools in New York City, we realized there was a need for a program that blended flexibility, personalized instruction, and hands-on learning in a way that’s both effective and enjoyable for kids.

At McKats Learning, we offer a fun and engaging online program that allows children to continue learning throughout the summer. We’re dedicated to providing families with a stress-free, yet academically enriching experience that keeps kids excited about learning.

Our combined expertise in literacy, math, and early childhood education makes us uniquely equipped to meet each child’s learning needs, whether they need extra practice or a bit of a challenge. We’re excited to share our passion for teaching and learning with you and your child this summer!
