Hi, my name is Cathy. I was born in the UK and have lived all over Britain - in Northern Ireland, Wales and England. As a result, I speak with a clear neutral British accent (even UK people can’t tell exactly where I’m from). I’ve also been lucky enough to live abroad briefly, and to travel for pleasure too. I hope to travel a lot more in the future. I have a varied background, and am excited to be starting this new phase of my life, sharing my love of, and passion for, the English language with amazing and interesting people from all over the world!

Yo como profesor
I know it can be hard learning a new language (in my case, Italian), so as a teacher my main priority is to be patient and encouraging. I love the space that working one-to-one brings - the lessons go at the pace and the level you the student need, with feedback given in the way that works best for you, and homework (if wanted) that focuses on consolidating what we cover in lessons.
I have completed a 169-hour TEFL qualification, as well as an Advanced Grammar for Online English Teachers course and an IELTS Specialist Teacher course.
Mis clases y método de enseñanza
As well as being patient, encouraging and flexible, I aim to provide fun and interesting lessons on whatever gets you talking freely. I love to find out about new cultures and traditions, so talking about your home country and your own life is a great place to start. I can also provide lots of discussion topics, and we can use articles, film clips, or anything that gets us talking!
I teach adults only (sorry, no children), and offer:
* General conversation lessons
* Guidance on grammar, pronunciation and accent, either as we go along in a general conversation or through separate, customised lessons
* Interview training, proof reading and basic General Training IELTS preparation

I have been taking lessons with Cathy for a few months now and I feel really lucky to have found her. She is a professional and punctual teacher who knows how to stimulate the conversation with the right questions, gently correct me when I make mistakes and suggest new interesting expressions. Whether we decide on the topic first or chat freely, the lesson flows as pleasantly as if I were talking to a friend. Above all, she is a person who conveys positivity and good humour, and always finds a way to encourage me! :)

Thank you very much Cathy for your patience, constant involvement, ease. It's so easy to talk to you about any topic, and you are so emotionally close. I really appreciate our lessons, thank you very much?

The session was both fun and relaxing, making it such a comfortable learning environment. I really felt at ease, which made it easy to engage and enjoy every moment. The lesson was also very productive – I learned a lot without even realising how much time was passing. The time just flew by, as it always does in these lessons! I highly recommend lessons with Cathy to anyone wanting to improve their English while having a great time.
