I have undergraduate degrees in history and journalism as well as graduate degrees in history. I have also worked in the public history field as a museum interpreter and educator. I have had years to hone both my oral and written communication skills, from my first fledging writing and public speaking efforts as a student to my more recent work as a teacher and scholar. I have worked with a diverse range of people in my career, including students, teachers, faculty, staff, historians, publishers, authors, volunteers, and the general public. I would welcome the opportunity to tutor you. Best wishes, Catherine

Let me help you bring your words to life.

In college I was a "student instructor" in my university's writing lab, which is just another way of saying that I was a tutor. Post graduation, I now have experience with journalism as I've written articles for The Style Vibe and Green Label, both highly respected online magazines. Also as a creative writer I have published numerous short stories as well as a few poems. I currently have two novellas under review for publication.
My teaching style is very hands on and unique. I focus on the writer's voice above all because without that, they are only writing words with no soul behind them.

A Little Bit About Me...

As children learn in different ways and at different paces, many have difficulty adapting to the standardized teaching of institutional education. I believe that children learn best from a personal approach that meets their needs and draws on their strengths. I begin the teaching process by building rapport, encouraging ideas, and instilling confidence. I then determine a starting point by measuring the child’s aptitude. Following initial sessions, I develop an individualized plan that ensures appropriate and effective teaching methods. My style is flexible, patient, and engaging. The child is not a passive listener but an active part of the process, and he or she will feel more confident and independent with each session.
As a counselor, mentor, and student, I have gained valuable insights into teaching and motivating others. I have earned a BA in Human Development, and I am curre ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

The chance to tutor peers in high school was the initial spark towards considering education as a career. During my undergraduate studies the desire has grown as I was given the opportunity in the role of Teaching Assistant. I found from those experiences that I have an ability to gauge a student’s comprehension of the material during sessions. This allows me to make adjustments on-the-fly and in the process become more effective in accomplishing the objective. In my teaching, I look to engage students through whatever means at my disposal with a primary focus on participation. Learning must become pro-active. My love for teaching comes from a teacher who showed that in everything they do, a true inspiration.
For just over a decade I have been involved in some form of peer education or mentoring. As a senior in high school, I tutored students in mathematics and science. As an ACS C ... read more

I've always believed that children learn by doing. I would rather have my students get real hands-on experience because concepts can be better attained and understood if children get real experience with it. I also believe that children learn differently from one another and a teacher should be able to accommodate the different learning styles of her or his students. One method may not work for a student, so I feel that it is the teacher's responsibility to make sure each student reaches their full potential by finding ways that will work for her/his students and then incorporate these differences in the classroom.
After watching a documentary on teachers teaching in the inner city, I decided to switch my major from Pre-Law to Elementary Education. I've always loved learning and I wanted to be able to convey that same message to my students. In college, I majored in Elementary Educ ... read more

I love working with elementary children. They are so refreshing. Children really bring out the best in me-patience and passion. My style is easy going yet direct. As every child is different, I always try to adapt to individual learning styles. My role as an educator is to create an environment which allows each child to thrive at his/her own individual level. When children are comfortable in their environment they have a tendency to excel. I would consider my teaching style that of a facilitator. However, I do incorporate strategies of a demonstrator.
As a financial services professional for over 10 years, I really enjoyed working one-on-one with my clients to help them meet their financial objectives. It is such a rewarding experience to see a client be able to save and eventually retire in part because of my help and their desire. During the last 6 months I have worked ... read more

I am a William and Mary graduate with a BS in Chemistry, with several years of programming experience from developing my own computer games. In addition I performed laboratory research at the College of William and Mary for a thesis and have 2 years of experience tutoring in Elementary Spanish, Computer Science, General Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry.
My teaching style is very simple, but effective. I merely talk to the student to find out where he or she is having difficulty, and work to find ways to remedy the problem. We will go over the concepts and do some exercises that will help to answer questions and deepen understanding of the source material.
