About Catharine
I guess you could say I'm born for this job! My mother is a native Spanish speaker and my father is a native Persian speaker. They met in an English class, and they had me! Growing up, I spoke French at school, Spanish with my mother, English in my city, Persian with my father and Italian with my neighbors. I don't have a native language - I have five! This makes me part of 1% of the global population that is a natural polyglot. I decided to study it in university as a way of deepening and formalizing my academic knowledge. I wanted to know - what is it like to learn a language from the start? How does the language learning process work? I have a Specialization in Languages and Literature from the University of Toronto and have been sharing my knowledge as a tutor since my university days. A decade later, I have taught people of all ages the skills to reconnect with their heritage, to increase their professional opportunities, to do well in their schools and to achieve their language-learning dreams. I find my work rewarding and I can't wait to help you too!

The most common issue my students have is believing they can't learn a language.
They might believe they are too old to learn a new language, not smart enough to do it, or that they will always struggle with languages because that's just how they are born.
Trust me, I've heard it all.
However, having worked as a language tutor for over a decade now with students of all ages (from age 10 to retirees!) I don't care how old you are, or how smart you think you are.
If you work with me, you will learn! I guarantee it.
My background, academic and personal experience have all prepared me to offer you the best possible support for your learning process, whether you are learning a new language from scratch or taking up a language you had set aside in the past.
After assessing your current knowledge, I will develop a personalized curriculum for you in the language we will learn.
In developing this lesson plan, I will cover the fundamentals thoroughly while also considering you as a student and the ways that you learn best, and keeping things fun and playful.
My classes are open to anyone who is daring enough to believe their language speaking dreams can come true!
Always remember that with the right people by your side, anything is possible in this life.

Cat tutored me in Italian. She is kind and gentle in her approach and never stopped being my biggest cheerleader. She is so passionate about languages (she knows 5!) and it makes you want to learn too. Very organized in her set up and she works with the level you’re at to push your knowledge forward.
With Catherine, you get a teacher who is genuinely invested in her student’s success. She also fine tunes the lesson toward your level and adjusts as necessary. She has also been accommodating with my unusual schedule. Most importantly she is a lovely person! You won’t go wrong with choosing her as your teacher!
Catherine works with you on what is the best way for you to learn a new language.
She also makes individual lessons for each student to make it more personal and relatable to each student.View more recommendations
