Hey! I’m Katie—a certified TEFL teacher with 5 years of experience helping students speak English confidently. Originally from the US, I’ve taught in Spain and now live in Vietnam with my bilingual family. My classes blend real-life conversation with a relaxed, mistake-friendly vibe. Whether you’re prepping for travel, work, or just love learning, let’s make English feel natural together. Tell me your goals, and let’s get started!
Me as a Teacher
My goal is to provide a space where you can build confidence when speaking English, practice asking questions and overall enjoy using English. Instead of focusing on how English “should” be spoken, we use the language as it is actually spoken.
My lessons & teaching style
In class I use lots of tools to support students such as videos, articles and games for each individual. Even though it is a professional class, I have a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for you. I encourage you to talk as much as possible, and to practice making questions. Make lots of mistakes. I will make some notes to review at the end of the meeting. There will also be 5-10 question homework to review after each class.
Instead of a big focus on pronunciation I tend to focus more on how you can communicate your ideas, thoughts and opinions clearly. That’s how we make more connections!

Katie waited patiently for me to speak my thoughts and kindly corrected me with better phrases. It was a very helpful class!

Katie is a great teacher! I wanted to practice my English more and break out of my speaking rut. She asked me a variety of questions, helping me use my vocabulary, and in just one class, we covered a wide range of topics.
