Welcome to my website. My name is Catherine Tabor. I hold Bachelors degrees in Mathematics and Physics, a Masters degree in Physics and am currently working towards a PhD in Computer Science. I am certified to teach Mathematics, Science, Physics, and Computer Science.
I began my teaching carreer over 20 years ago when I took an adjuct faculty position at The Evergreen State College. In El Paso, I have taught at Coronado, Bowie, Irvin, Canutillo, and now Northwest Early College HS.

I have taught Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, Calulus, Statistics, Computer Science, Physics, Astronomy, and Chemistry, and I have taught at all levels--regular, Pre-AP, AP, and IB. I teach grades 9-Undergrad. Please Click here to view my CV.
I am also a proponent of life-long learning. This year (aside from taking classes towards my PhD), I participated in professional development which included How to Run a CS Summer Camp (5 hours on Nov 21, 2015), Mini-CAST (6 hours Oct 3 ,2015), Digital Science for the 21st Century (on 6 hours on March 31,2016), and paticipated in the process for Computer Science Standard setting for TEA on various dates throughout the year. I will be completing a 30 hour AP training for Physics 1 in July.
I am currently teaching AP Physics 1 and AP Computer Science (A and Principles). The syllabi for each course is located on the Useful Links Page.
