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!

Kate是一位非常善良和蔼的老师。她对于雅思考试有许多独特见解和独门秘籍。我准备雅思考试的时间很短，几乎是不可能完成的任务。但在Kate的帮助下，我仍在两周紧锣密鼓的准备后取得了远超预期的成绩。她的流利度小游戏不仅对我的英语学习很有帮助，也让我在其他语种的学习中受益匪浅。现在我能够更加流利地与人交流，也对自己的口语及写作更有自信了。每次口语练习时，Kate都会非常仔细地记录并适时地提出建议。而写作训练中她总是细致地检查一字一句，传授更地道的表达。有时她还会科普一些英语语言的历史和文化知识，我个人非常喜欢这种上课的方式。总而言之，非常感谢Kate的帮助，希望以后有机会还可以参加她别的类型的课程！
Kate is a kind and understanding teacher. She has many unique test tips and is willing to share them with her students. I didn't have much time to prepare for the IELTS test, but with Kate's help I achieved way more than expectation in just 2 weeks. Her special fluency game not only helps me inmprove my spoken english, but also benefit me to learning others languages. Now I can speak with others fluently and have more confidence in myself.
