Hello! I'm Katherine and I live in Virginia in the United States. I love languages, plants, music, singing, and reading. I would love to get to know you, talk about your life and your interests! And improve your English along the way!
Ich als Lehrkraft
It's hard to put yourself out there and receive feedback and correction but don't be afraid to make mistakes because that's how we learn! I started with italki in October '25. I don’t have any formal training in ESL and I don’t offer structured grammar classes. However, I'm learning new things every day! If you're looking for someone enthusiastic, patient, and attentive to detail, I fit the part! Book a lesson with me and see if I'm what you're looking for!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Our lessons will mainly involve conversation about your life, hobbies, family, work, opinions on different topics, etc. During class I will take notes of areas needing improvement (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation). If you like correction, then I’m your teacher! However, if I provide too much correction, don’t hesitate to tell me! I can scale it back a bit depending on your preference! As you can see on my profile I offer different lessons at different prices. I use google docs for notes, however if you do not use google/google docs, then I can send you screenshots of the notes through the italki chat. Feel free to message me if you have any questions!
Katherine is a wonderful teacher. She is curious, always in a good mood, and truly motivating.
I know that I will make great progress with her, and I highly recommend her.

This was my first conversation class with Katherine and it was awesome, amazing and perfect. She’s kind, polite and made me comfortable to speak. She gave me many tips to improve my English and corrected my mistakes, which is really important for to put extra care in my pronunciation, once I am here to learn and speak with the best possible way. As she is learning another language, she understands how difficult is the process and shares her experience with her students. Besides all that, she has a neutral and beautiful accent, speaks clearly, always in good mood, smiling. So, I hope to take many and many other conversations classes with her, once the more we talk the moreI learn. Katherine, thank you so much for giving up your precious time to teach me English. 🙏

Honestly I really wish I could attach pics here, just to show how insanely detailed Katherine’s feedback is!!!
She is soooooooo good at catching mistakes. She always says she is a picky person, BUT I LOVE that!!! I feel really lucky to have met such a sharp teacher. She can spot even the tiniest errors I make omg🥹And then she organizes everything into a clear system for me(like sink vs think, seat vs sit, bad vs bed, sail vs sell. )
At first, she just wrote down the words I kept mixing up during our conversations. After a few classes, when there were more and more of these patterns, she wanted to explain things more clearly, so she even went and studied IPA herself. She then used it to break down the differences between similar sounds, including how your mouth and muscles actually move. 🫶🏻🫶🏻 the lessons honestly feel 100% customized just for me!!! Amazing teacher!!!

Katherine es una profesora excepcional, increíblemente paciente, clara y realmente comprometida con ayudarte a mejorar. Señala todos tus errores, los corrige con muchísimo cuidado y su retroalimentación escrita es muy detallada y útil. Cada clase está bien estructurada y personalizada, siempre ofrece explicaciones que realmente te hacen progresar.
Además, tiene una gran capacidad para hacerte sentir cómodo, lo que facilita muchísimo la práctica. Y por si fuera poco, es muy divertida, su energía hace que cada clase sea agradable y que terminas la lección sonriendo sin darte cuenta de cuánto has aprendido.
Un detalle importante: Katherine tiene una voz preciosa. Estoy convencido de que será una futura cantante🎤😁Así que si por aquí hay algún presentador o productor de televisión… por favor, preséntenla a toda América! El mundo merece escuchar esa voz😄
Altamente recomendada🔝😊
