About Catalina

Empowering students to find joy in discovery is at the heart of my teaching practice. With a background in applied physics, I specialize in Math, Science, and History for elementary and middle school students. I believe true success comes from building confidence rather than memorization. By actively listening and observing how you engage with new material, I tailor my methods to fit your unique needs. I break complex problems into manageable steps and celebrate every "aha!" moment along the way. I maintain consistent communication with parents to ensure we are aligned on your progress and goals. Whether we meet online, at a coffee shop, or in your home, I am dedicated to providing positive reinforcement as you master new skills. I look forward to helping your student reach their full potential and seeing them shine.
