Katie's classes have been a fundamental part of my adjustment to Dublin. In the beginning, I found it particularly challenging to understand the local accent and speaking up was hard for me. But, our lessons really improved my ability to communicate, making me feel confident in conversations and understand the language better.
In addition to language skills, Katie has given me great support in preparing me for job interviews. She has been with me every step of the way, from helping me build a personal narrative that stays true to who I am, to effectively preparing for behavioural questions. Her guidance has been tailored to my individual needs, ensuring that I present myself authentically and confidently in professional settings.
Her constant support and insightful advice have been crucial in not only improving my language skills but also in enhancing my overall professional presence in a new country

Katie is a great teacher! She's very patient, thoughtful, and supportive. We always have a lot of topics to discuss: hobbies, interests but we also talk about work and business. Katie's classes are incredible. She knows how to motivate me and make our lessons enjoyable. If you need to focus on your fluency I strongly recommend conversational lessons with Katie.
