Hello!
I am qualified to teach English as a foreign/second language to adults. I also have a bachelor's and master's degree in philosophy.
I like cooking, traveling, different cultures, and learning languages (French and Arabic at the moment). I am happy to talk about my hobbies and interests with my students, some are: history, books, music, psychology, health, fitness, learning languages, cooking, art, culture, books, technology, sociology, anthropology, etc.
Me as a Teacher
I am comfortable teaching students from all levels. I am patient with beginners and I am also able to push advanced speakers to keep learning and improving.
I love teaching English and helping others learn a language and achieve their language goals, whatever they are. In addition, I have also done proof-reading and copy-editing for both academic and business purposes.
I have a lot of professional teaching experience. In 2020 I completed the CELTA certificate, although I began my ESL career in 2009, when I completed a TESOL certificate and started to teach English as a foreign language both online and in-person.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is open, friendly and patient. I really encourage my students to speak.
In informal tutoring I really encourage you to speak and to have a free-flowing, natural as possible conversation, regardless of your level. In informal tutoring we can talk about whatever you want or I can offer suggestions to get the conversation started and keep it flowing.
I also offer various types of professional lesson plans. Please see their descriptions for further information. Professional lessons can include homework, if you want it.
I always try to offer feedback, corrections, and ways to improve.
*Please note I don't usually teach children, under 18 years of age*

Dear Kathy
Your lessons are always fun, I really enjoy the conversations we have and I can literally feel my English improving thanks to these sessions. You never run out of engaging topics and advanced vocabulary. You make me talk and that's exactly what I need to practice my speaking skills. Thanks.

Kathy is a fantastic teacher to work with. She is always well-prepared for a lesson and never lets me leave the classroom empty-handed without any takeaways. In addition, she gives direct feedback on my mistakes and provides me with better words or phrases to replace them. Finally, her teaching materials are neat, which facilitates my learning. I recommend her to anyone who genuinely wants to learn English well. Thank you, Kathy!
