Accomplishments
Public Reviews from Parents & Students:
"Caitlyn was very kind and professional. She was knowledgeable on the topic and my daughter always looked forward to her classes."
"My son initially did not want to take this class. However, after the 1st class, he changed his mind. Caitlin was attentive and engaging. She made learning history fun and kept my 10 year old son's attention. She also asked enough questions to gage what he did and did not understand or retain all the while teaching but not talking at him. I HIGHLY recommend her and will most definitely be signing my 10 year old and 13 year old up for other classes she teaches. Thank you, Caitlin, for preparing my son for 6th grade & giving him excitement for his class."
"Caitlyn is a very passionate history teacher with outstanding knowledge in history. She teaches with nice presentations. You can always ask questions and she answers them enthusiastically. If you are looking for a history class I definitely recommend her."
