Sobre mim
Professor da italki desde 13 de Feb de 2012Tópico de interesseFilmesSaúdeTecnologiaAnimaisArte
I'm a retired programmer, an experienced British English tutor, and the author of "How to Go Up a Band in IELTS."
With my background in IT and a gentle and patient teaching style, I've assisted many non-native speakers in improving their communication abilities before moving to Canada, Australia, and the UK or studying there.
I have a Master's in IT and a level 5 certificate in teaching English to speakers of foreign languages. The British Council taught me to teach IELTS. I have been president of both Gloucester and Cheltenham Speakers public speaking clubs.

My teaching style is patient and kind. I use my varied experience as a software engineer, charity worker and public speaking group leader, along with extensive training in IELTS, a CERT EDI TEFL level 5 certificate, and a native British accent not related to any particular region of Britain to create great learning experiences for my students. I focus on practical skills.

Over the last couple of months, Kate has been teaching me how to effectively structure Task 1 and Task 2 essays for IELTS. Together, we read through all of my essays word by word and Kate provided valuable suggestions on the adjustments necessary to achieve my target band. I have also benefitted from self-studying collocations with the materials Kate picked up for me, and it made wonders for the quality of my writing. Kate, thank you for your outstanding professionalism and commitment to teaching!

This was my last class with Kate, and I must say she is absolutely wonderful. She takes the time to explain things like grammatical structures with creative examples and different perspectives, making everything easier to understand. I mainly practiced writing and speaking with her, and she provided excellent tips that are incredibly useful for the IELTS.
Highly recommended! She is very empathetic, so don’t hesitate to choose her!
