About Catherine
I fully believe that everyone has the capacity to learn a foreign language if you put enough work into the task, and I will work with you to get you there!
I love the almost-audible *click* that happens sometimes while students are learning languages. You have to retrain your brain to think different ways when it comes to languages and once you know how to create those new pathways in your mind it's so much fun to watch the student discover they know much more than they thought they did!
I first taught French while in graduate school at Ohio University and I knew then that I wanted to be a teacher. I love seeing that key turn in students' heads when something clicks!
I'm fluent in German and taught beginning level German at The Ohio State University while I was in graduate school.

Foreign languages can be very intimidating, so I like to try and let my students know that yes, you will make some mistakes when you speak but you'll never learn if you don't try! Languages must be used in order to be learned so I like to use as much German in possible in my tutoring sessions.
I've tutored some younger students, but I've worked mostly with college-aged students.
I would advise students studying German to try and find a teacher who will use German with you in the lesson and not solely English. It doesn't necessarily have to be full immersion, but hearing the language is so important; a one-on-one setting is the best place in which to do something like that because it's just you and your teacher so there are no extra eyes or ears on you!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
You should consider--honestly--how much time you're willing to put toward learning the language, and communicate that to your tutor. We can work together to get a study routine that will fit your expectations. Languages are not easy but they are so worth the work!

Cathy was a wonderful instructor took time to guide me slowly and teach me the difficult German structures. German isn't easy but she truly made it easy to understand.
I never thought I would be able to confidently pronounce the quite complex structures which make up majority of the German language. I serious self doubt, and questioned on my ability to become fluent with German, until my tutor changed my whole perspective! Truly, my tutoring sessions with Cathy have made such a remarkable difference! She’s helped me build better comprehension, knowledge, and overall I became more fluent than my fear of learning a new language! Would highly recommended!!
