Positive and Encouraging Tutor

My son came to Catherine when he was nearly failing French as a freshman in high school. His low grade prompted us to seek tutoring. At that time, he showed no signs of real interest or aptitude. While working with Catherine, his interest, confidence and skills improved hugely, and his class average improved steadily to the point where he is now getting a 98/100 in his french class. It seems to come effortlessly to him now. I give Catherine huge credit for this. She remained positive and encouraging when he struggled. She kept him engaged by gently challenging him throughout the lesson. Catherine really worked herself right out of a job in this case! Thank you, Catherine!

Adressed my needs

Catherine immediately understood that my priority was practicing conversation. She corrected me in an efficient way w a word or two without disrupting the flow. She’s lovely.

Great French tutor!

Catherine is helping me prepare for the AP French exam. The area we have been focusing on the most is my speaking. She prepares topics and questions that I might see on the exam. She also sends me notes of my errors/corrections and records the sessions so that I may review them. I have found these sessions really helpful for preparing me for the upcoming exam.

Catherine was great. She started with getting to know me and my level in French.

Catherine started our lesson right away after learning my level of French. I liked it that she used our time getting right to the issues that I need help with and had homework ready for me to work on with those issues. I liked the kindness I felt with the corrections I needed from her. She was super!

Excellent tutor

Catherine is a professional language instuctor. She is an experienced and knowledgeable guide for those seeking to learn french. She knows what she’s doing. Fortunately, she is also both very pleasant and very patient. She seems to understand well just how hard it can be to learn a new language, and she seems to enjoy helping others learn her native language. I’m glad to have found her. Highly recommended.

Exceptional!

Catherine brushed up basic French 1 with my daughter who’s a rising freshman. She was quick to ask for the topics to cover and prioritized the lesson plan accordingly. My daughter came away from her lesson more confident in French than I have ever seen her. Definitely highly recommend Catherine! Thank you Catherine!

Great Tutor

She is awesome -- really helps me on pronunciation and knowledge. I'd be lost without her guidance in French. She teaches me to love the language and to strive to do my best.
