About Catie

For over 20 years, I have cultivated a passion for helping students unlock their full potential. With a graduate degree, my focus is on building confidence and fostering a love for learning, not just memorization. I aim to create an engaging, supportive, and patient learning environment. I vary my teaching strategies using visual aids, hands-on activities, discussions, and practice problems. I also encourage open communication about what methods work best for you. I connect challenging topics to real-world examples or your personal interests. I celebrate small successes and provide consistent positive reinforcement. Communication is essential for understanding your needs and progress. Open dialogue allows me to adapt my approach for optimal results. Building a strong, supportive rapport that makes learning enjoyable is the most rewarding aspect of being a tutor. I also have a car and am comfortable with pets. I would love to partner with you to make learning an exciting journey!
