Hi guys! I'm Kate, a qualified English, Chinese, and Russian teacher and a language enthusiast. I have a degree in Teaching Languages and now I'm doing my Masters in Linguistics in Vienna University. Since the beginning of my teaching career, I've taught many wonderful students from 2 to 67, with different backgrounds, language levels, and aims. I've also created 2 video courses in Russian and English for toddlers and I'm always in search of new methods and ways of acquiring language naturally.

Me as a Teacher

Being a teacher I learn a lot from my students! I see that all of them have different learning styles and preferences and I've learnt to adjust quickly to all my students' needs. And don't worry to make mistakes - I've been learning languages since early childhood, so I totally understand all your struggles.

My lessons & teaching style

INPUT and COMMUNICATION are key elements of my classes. I will provide you with lots of listening and reading material to create a solid base for your speaking and we'll practise all the structures and word chunks in natural conversation. I always find topics and materials that a particular student is interested in, cause it makes such a big difference in your language journey!

A fantastic teacher, much better than many natives. Katerina is highly professional and she prepared an amazing lesson for me: I was able to speak a lot on very complex topics, I even found some terms I was not sure about the meaning and in general I was able to use long forgotten words and to refresh my memory. I'm advanced in English so I needed something more that just a trival chat on some hackneyed topics and Kate asked me lot of questions (exactly what I was looking for) so the debate was great. I liked the way the lesson was structured, very well organized, using visual and giving me the opportunity to reflect on many things. Moreover, her accent is great. Thank you, speak soon!
