About CATHERINE
I bring 30+ years of diverse teaching experience with me to your sessions. I have a taught at a community college, a small regional university and two research I (R1) large public universities. I have worked with at-risk for failure adult learners as well as gifted middle school, high school, and collegiate honors program students. I have had great success in the past with nontraditional adult learners who come back to school for additional training/degree or certificate programs.
I have an extremely diverse educational background as well as advanced training in multiple disciplines that make me uniquely qualified to teach, remembering that teaching is a conversation that you have with your students in contrast to lecturing which is talking at your students. Effective instruction should always be student-centered and individuated to meet each student's needs. I strive to create an intellectually and emotionally safe space for student learning, helping students to understand that small failures are inevitable as we all fail every day at least once; further we learn more through our failures than successes as each is an opportunity for intellectual and personal growth.
My commitment to student learning has been officially recognized by the University of Alabama, College of Arts and Sciences for my teaching efforts with the Biology Program and by the University of Georgia (the one campus award winner for 2005) with the Excellence in Teaching Award (based on my work with Marine Science courses). I have also been awarded a Service Learning Fellowship as well as an Online Learning Fellowship during my tenure at UGA. I was also recognized by the UGA Disability Resource Center 2008-2009 for my work with their student clients enrolled in course that I taught over a number of years. I believe that every student deserves to be academically successful. As a person living with a medical disability who was in college for many years prior to the passage of the ADA, I know all too well how difficult it can be to complete assignments or professional work-related tasks while having to deal with IV treatments and hospitalizations. I think my personal experience has shaped my understanding of the many kinds of challenges that students and adult learners face today. I work hard to be part of the solution, not the origin of a problem for my student(s).

I think what is important in STEM fields is to connect the why to the what... why do these events happen? Why are so many things structured ("built through evolution") the same way even though they are entirely different? (Example: structure of bone tissue and reef building coral skeletons, or the fact that most multicellular organisms are tubes within tubes that are then modified for functional). Start with the overarching concepts and then fill in the details rather than the reverse.
For instruction/lessons to be effective, you also have to start at the place the learner is at. My ability to assist a student is only as good as the student's ability to detail their problem course content (concepts), vocabulary, and/or problem-solving. If you hire me as your tutor, I am committed to seeing you be as successful as you can be given your personal set of circumstances. My commitment to student learning has been recognized by the University of Alabama College of Arts and Sciences for my teaching efforts with the Biology Program and by the University of Georgia (the one campus award winner) with the Excellence in Teaching Award (based on my work with Marine Science courses). I have also been awarded a Service Learning Fellowship as well as an Online Learning Fellowship during my tenure at UGA.
All lessons will begin with an overview of the lesson or subject area. I will ask general question to gage the level of your understanding about the subject at hand. I will also ask you to describe what teachers who were effective in helping you to learn difficult or detailed content did that helped you to be successful. I will ask you for feedback about how you feel the lesson is going as we move through each lesson; your feedback is essential to helping me to create a learning environment that works for you. After the initial lesson which is 1 hour and free of charge, all future sessions will be structures as follows:
A. brief review of previous lesson stressing ides, concepts, and/or skills that will carry forward into the new lesson.
B. An advanced organizer that will help you organize the new material for the lesson - can be an outline, rubric, or assignment we will work through as well as provide context for why this is critical information by illustrating how this information/skill may intersect with your everyday life (news, social media, film, music, etc.).
C. overview of key vocabulary - can be in the form of a quiz with feedback
D. guided practice with the content (essay if conceptual), working problems if quantitative
E. Lesson summary
F. Independent practice = homework or practice test with clearly communicated expectations and due date
G. solicit feedback form client
H. set next meeting
I always call my new clients first to find out the following information:
1. The client's preferred method of learning - video, lecture, review, practice problems, and/or some combination of all of the above.
2. I request that the client send me their course syllabus or project prospectus with some detail regarding where they feel they are having a problem or experiencing a disconnect between what they think they are required to do (as far as an assignment or research paper) and what the instructor is actually requiring of them (usually based on a grading rubric or a sample exam or assignment).
3. I always ask for a list of the top 3 concepts or problem types that need immediate attention.
4. If the client is within a reasonable driving distance, I do offer the option of face-to-face instruction if that is preferable to ZOOM meetings (with audio transcript and video recordings provided to the client post lesson).
5. I will always end with an assignment for both of us: (1) I will provide the client with support materials in the form of handouts, visual references such as figures and flow charts, and videos which can help clarify concepts or walk the client through detailed hand calculations related to assigned problem sets and (2) follow-up materials or research that the client needs to complete prior to our next meeting.
6. I will always endeavor to demonstrate how the information is used in the daily life of the average college student - direct applicability is important as it establishes relevancy of the subject matter. If I know any historical context for the development of a scientific theory, research method, or statistical analysis technique, I will share this with the student(s) as it tends to make the subject matter ore interesting. Example: The one sample t-test was developed by the Guinness Corporation to determine whether batches of stout met their company standard for sugar and alcohol content. Who knew? Or that Benjamin Franklin created the first map of coastal currents on the Atlantic coast of North America. Why? He was postmaster general of the newly independent colonies and needed to understand how to move the mail among the 13 colonies by land as well as by sea.
I have an extremely diverse educational background as well as advanced training in multiple disciplines that make me uniquely qualified to teach, remembering that teaching is a conversation that you have with your students in contrast to lecturing which is talking at your students. Effective instruction should always be student-centered and individuated to meet each student's needs. I strive to create an intellectually and emotionally safe space for student learning, helping students to understand that small failures are inevitable as we all fail every day at least once; further we learn more through our failures than successes as each is an opportunity for intellectual and personal growth.
My opinion of a person is nto related in any way to their academic performance as there are many aspects of non-academic life that can prevent students from being successful. My job is to help the student find solutions and move forward - this frequently requires the student to be honest about what is going on with them outside of the classroom and I can endeavor to help them locate services on their campus or at their school to help support them through this challenge.
I tutor statistics for college undergraduates, as well as advanced statistical methods (usually multivariate statistics or regression and correlation courses as well as factor analysis). I have expert SPSS skills, good SAS skills, and I am in the process of teaching myself R for data analyses. I also know how to use the EXCEL statistics plug in to use EXCEL for basic data analysis as well as to make graphic representations of data.

I had a master's level class with her a while ago, and her dedication to her work and students was so profound that I am still in contact with her. She played a significant role in supporting my decision to change my major to a field I am truly passionate about. She gave me the courage to make that leap.
Furthermore, she taught us invaluable lessons on how to be better and more effective teachers. She presented all the lessons with clear, tangible examples and designed activities that unified the class and brought the lessons to life.
She is the most inspiring teacher you could ever meet! Thank you, Dr. C, for being a part of our journey! Keep it up!Knowledgeable down to earth teacher who cares about her students. One of my favorite college professors.

Details
Undergraduate courses are a standard $40.00/hour. Preparation for teacher certification exams ranges from $45/hour depending upon how many exams you are preparing to take realizing that I will be purchasing review materials to specifically help you prepare more effectively for each exam. These materials cost around $60.00/month that I pay for in an effort to be as effective as possible.
Graduate course rates are dependent upon the kind of assistance needed. For example, if you need both statistics assistance as well as access to advanced data analysis software (such as SAS or SPSS), I have professional site licenses that I maintain for tutoring and my own research. You are essentially asking for tutoring in two areas - the statistical software as well as the analysis. Graduate courses are billed at $30.00 an hour for content. Additional assistance with analysis software is negotiable - if the commitment is for 18 weeks, there is no additional charge for assistance with software.
Assistance preparing IRB Human Subjects Research clearance, thesis, and/or dissertation proposals is dependent upon the length of service. Long-term clients can negotiate a flat rate for assistance. Additional information available upon request.
