I love being part of an international community, which means I love talking about a variety of cultural interests. If there's something new I can learn about a culture, I don't hesitate to do so. Other interests include traveling, dancing, music, art, and sea life. I traveled to Belize for six years and to Mexico for two years, so this has had an impact on my focus of interests. A few other things I'm widening my horizons in is construction and landscaping, since I have been volunteering in these two areas for a couple of years. I love talking about children, family, and important values in life. Really, anything you have on your mind is also what I want to talk about!

I started helping people benefit from Biblical topics over twenty years ago and until now I have taught other things such as life values, English, and American Sign Language. I obtained my TESOL/TEFL nine years ago to qualify me to professionally teach English as a second language. I have been actively involved in learning and teaching ASL for 15 years. I cover every topic imaginable, from lifestyles to trucks to computers and so on. I learn from you as much as you learn from me. I cater each lesson to individual needs, such as grammar improvement, pronunciation improvement, reading, and so on. I further break it down into specifics. For example, if you ne...

Katherine is an awesome teacher, going over vocab I don't know and making sure every lesson is very thorough by going through every topic at a great pace! Thank you, and I look forward to our future lessons.

One of the most fascinating, dynamic teachers I’ve met on italki - I’ve shared what she’s taught me 50+ times. Everyone on the planet should take at least an hour lesson with her!

I highly recommend Katherine as a teacher. I've taken several lessons at this point. She's had a solid curriculum, leading me easily through the first 100 asl signs. She has a joyful demeanor which makes for a nonjudgmental classroom environment. She also incorporates aids in the form of pictures and an occasional video. I would definitely point any prospective ASL learner towards her.

She's super nice and great at letting you try and figure things out first, but she helps guide the class and gives examples on how to go about signing. Thank you!

Katherine is very nice and makes sure to answer any questions, goes over things at a nice pace, and reviews any words that I have forgotten. Thank you so much for helping, and I can't wait for the next few sessions!
