Want to improve your grades? Interested in learning a new language? I've been told I have a talent for teaching along with patience, tenacity and a sense of humor. I use the analytical and communication skills I honed in law school to break down information and explain it in simple, easy to understand language. I follow the traditional teaching method using explanations, examples and demonstrations but I also believe in the Socratic method. That is I like to guide the student through his own reasoning and analysis. Although some material needs to just be memorized it is a critical part of education to learn how to think. Check out my background. I would love to help.

Criminal Justice

I have a Juris Doctor degree from Baylor Law School. In addition to the required classes, I took enough electives to have a concentration in criminal law as part of my degree plan. Some of these classes include criminal law, criminal procedure, post conviction procedure, Juvenile Justice and an internship with the McClennn Co. DA's office. I also have a license to practice law in the state of Texas. In order to be given this license I had to pass the Texas Bar Exam which tests knowledge of criminal law and criminal procedure very intensely.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Catherine was extremely helpful in helping our daughter with introductory French. She came up with the perfect strategy to get our daughter on track in record time. We look forward to working with Catherine in the future.

Fantastic Spanish tutor!

Catherine helped my daughter with her high school Spanish 3. She was patient, easy to work with and effective (got all A’s while working with Catherine.) Highly recommend her!

Andrea, 30 lessons with Catherine

Amanda, 1 lesson with Catherine

Great study skills info!

Catherine gave my daughter some wonderful suggestions and strategies for how to study effectively for high-content classes. She is upbeat and encouraging as well as clear and concise.

Carey, 1 lesson with Catherine

Excellent Spanish tutor

I was very impressed with Catherine. She helped me with a Spanish 2 midterm review, and I really got lucky finding her through this app. She understood how to talk about Spanish and how it would probably be tested on my midterm, and she explained concepts I didn't grasp perfectly to me. Speaking Spanish is a skill a lot of people think automatically qualifies them to tutor others, but tutoring Spanish well is a different skill set. Catherine has both. I highly recommend hiring her.

Thom, 2 lessons with Catherine

Flexible and knowledgeable

This is only our 2nd tutoring lesson with Catherine, but her teaching style really seems to "connect" w/ our daughter. She's conversational and helps my daughter with little tricks and mnemonic devices to better understand and memorize. She's also extremely flexible with scheduling which really helps us based on busy schedules...

Christie, 13 lessons with Catherine

Good first meeting.

I am looking forward to working with Cat to reinforce my college class, and help with pronunciations. Hope to set up regular lessons soon.

Rachel, 10 lessons with Catherine

The Best. Patient. Explains corrections. Most importantly, put up with me, a very slow learner.

I can not imagine a better tutor. Catherine is fun to be around. Always friendly, no matter how stressful I made the class for her. Easy to reach by phone or e-mail. Flexible on last minute changes to scheduled classes. We live close enough to each other that she has even been willing to turn around and come back to our meeting location when I have been late to a class.
