Hello! My name is Teacher Catherine. I have over 25 years of teaching experience in public and private schools.  I have taught third grade, Title One Preschool, and Kindergarten.  I really enjoy helping young learners find a love for learning and become life long learners. I enjoy creating lessons that are fun and engaging.  I have done lots of one on one tutoring and it is so fun to see the "lightbulbs" turn on as students make connections between letters and sounds and then putting those sounds together to make words.  I also love seeing students developing higher level thinking skills. My classes on Outschool will help scaffold students learning as they navigate school.  I enjoy teaching children in early elementary levels.
