Introduction: Teaching has been my life's passion! From the time I was in school, I knew that I wanted to teach others the joy of learning in math and science. I am a strong advocate for using education to better one's life. When I work with clients, I find out what they want from tutoring. Each case is individual and needs to be treated as such. Whether you want tutoring to learn concepts or you want to prepare for an exam, I can adjust our tutoring sessions accordingly! What I enjoy the most about my job is helping another person learn! Learning is an unique experience for each person. Finding a way to spark someone's interest in either math or science inspires me to be creative!

Cathy assisted my son with math tutoring and with studying skills during his high school years. We would go to her house. It was always quiet and private feeling. I could stay or leave - it was comfortable either way. She was always on time, prepared (several sharpened pencils at the ready!) and worked very hard with my son. She set goals and expectations with him and held him accountable. It made a HUGE difference for him with school and his understanding of the subject matter, and his grades. Cathy is really good at what she does. She doesn't talk down to the students or over their heads. She meets them where they are and works with them. She gives positive reinforcements for a job well done and in doing so, builds up their self-esteem. When a student doesn't understand the subject, this can really hurt them psychologically - Cathy reversed that process. Cathy also promptly gave receipts for monies paid, which is helpful for our finances. If necessary, she would spent a few extra minutes at the end making sure that my son understood what they were working on and that he understood what was expected of him for the next time. This sometimes led to the next student having to wait a few minutes, but that is all a balancing act. I never felt put out by this if we were the "next student" and appreciated this extra act of care. She was, in general, always very aware and sensitive to start and ending times. We had a great experience!

Cathy tutored both my sons in Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra II. My older son was advanced in math and Cathy taught him at our home for one school year. We are delighted we were able to find Cathy. She produced a detailed curriculum for the entire year, met with him several times a week, assigned homework, additional brain teasers, and special projects. He was well prepared for the next year and kept a positive attitude about math. Cathy is a wonderful instructor. She is patient, encouraging, and keeps kids motivated with fun puzzles and really creative projects that reinforce the textbook work. She was always on time, was flexible with our schedule, and gave us plenty of advanced notice if she needed to change dates or times. Cathy is an excellent tutor and I highly recommend her.

She is very thorough and answers all of my questions starting with the foundation. I enjoy how she starts from the foundation of understating before she goes into detail because often times that's what I misunderstood in class.

She is extremely nice and caring for every single one of her students. Cathy always makes time for me when I need extra help and has helped me understand math to the fullest.
