Catharine S.
Private tutor in Forest Lake, MN
Education
I graduated Cum Laude in 2013 from St. Olaf College with a Bachelor's degree in Spanish Language and Literature and a double-major with Asian Studies. Within my Asian Studies major I concentrated in China Studies. I also did a five-month study abroad program in Valparaíso, Chile to finish out my Spanish major. After graduating, I moved to China to teach English.
Experience
I tutored in English, SAT, ACT, TOEFL, IELTS for two years in China. I also taught academic writing for several months in southern China at a private college prep institution called TrueChina. I have taken various advanced Chinese test prep classes for HSK 4-6. Additionally, I was the TA for high school Spanish and college Mandarin.

Hobbies
In my free time I love reading science fiction and fantasy novels, most currently The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan, although some of my favorites are Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton and Babel-17 by Samuel R Delany. I also love Margaret Atwood. When I'm not reading, I also enjoy writing, watching movies, working out, and going for long runs. I'd like to participate in a 5K or 10K race in the Twin Cities soon.
