About Catherine
I have been giving Lessons for the past decade to over 100 students to date both in the classroom setting and in private tutorials.Among successes have been having several return students keep me as their private tutor, in particular among them is a student that I have had since he was in grade 2 who struggled terribly in Reading and Writing and had a poor self-esteem.Fast forward, the same student is now in 7th grade and is soaring academically and personally.My student has been on the Principals List for the last few years in a row and is more confident then I have ever seen him.Ive also had other examples of success stories whereby my student, after our time of working together, went on to be elected to not only the JHS but has now inducted into the NHS and been selected to be part of a very prestigious STEM program!
