Cathy is an extraordinary math tutor and teacher. She is an educator who strives to shift the perception that math is an abstract concept by making it meaningful, interesting, and fun! My son successfully worked with Cathy for two years on Algebra 2 and pre-Calculus. All of his weekly sessions were online as we live in California. The technology is easy and accessible – and, as a result, amazing educators like Cathy don’t have to be limited by geography. I highly recommend Cathy and we will hire her again if the need ever arises!
~ Cindy Johanson parent Terra Linda High School, CA ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I thoroughly enjoyed Calculus this past year, and I know many of my classmates did too; which is, in no small part, due to Mrs. Eagen's teaching style and the atmosphere of learning she created in the classroom. It was truly a pleasure to have been her student, and if given the choice, I’d elect to stay in that classroom for BC as well. Thank you Mrs. Eagen for getting back to me on my score, and an even bigger thanks for teaching me how to achieve it!
~ Jay Fuchs student Durango High School 2017-18 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Cathy is simply one of the best math teachers and tutors that I have ever encountered. Cathy understands my daughter’s skills and abilities and has tailored her teaching techniques to help my daughter master the material and be able to apply her knowledge with confidence. Cathy’s enthusiasm has gone a long way to stimulating my daughter’s interest in the math and desire to show real progress in school.

Cathy is currently tutoring my daughter in Algebra 1 but has also tutored my older son in Algebra 2. What's great about Cathy is that she has been able to tailor her tutoring to serve both my traditional learner and my daughter who thinks more out of the box where math does not come easily. Cathy's enthusiasm for math is contagious! My daughter can now apply her math skills and strategies with fluency and confidence. She has made math fun and finds ways to keep both of my kids engaged. Cathy listens to my kids needs and adjusts her tutoring accordingly which in turn results in more engaged learning and ultimately higher grade
~ Shannon Smith, Durango parent ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Cathy is truly amazing with kids. She greets my daughter with a smile and works with her in an enthusiastic way that is fun and that helps to boost my daughter's self-confidence. Cathy is also very professional. She is tuned in to the material that the kids are working on. There is never a need for her to figure out or remember how to work the material. I would highly recommend Cathy to anyone who needs extra help with their math.

My daughter is a strong math student who completed BC Calculus this year. She needed somebody who could work with her to understand her needs and challenge her rather than receiving tutoring at a basic level. We tried some other tutors, but none of them were able to provide her with this. As soon as she finished her first online lesson with Cathy, she was very happy with the lesson and felt she connected with Cathy.
Cathy helped her clear her doubts and helped her to more thoroughly understand concepts she had questions about. After working with Cathy, my daughter improved greatly. I would also like to note this was during 4th quarter, the most challenging part of the course and Cathy was able to connect instantly with my daughter to see where she could help close the gaps in her knowledge. As a parent, I also really liked that every invoice Cathy sent had details of the concepts she worked on with my daughter for the session. ~ Nishtha Tyagi, TJHSST parent ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ My son is working with Cathy. She does an amazing job meeting students where they are, helping them understand concepts and finding the fun in mathematical exploration. I love overhearing her and my boy giggle when they work together in my kitchen!
