TEFL certified with 10+ years experience and creator of English Hacks (YouTube) IMPORTANT NOTE TO NEW STUDENTS: 1) PRONUNCIATION ONLY! 2) I have come out as transgender (male to female). If you don't want to work with me because of this, then good luck with another teacher. Hi! I'm a TEFL professionally certified English teacher and the host of the YouTube channel "English Hacks". I have 10+ years of experience and have given thousands of one-on-one lessons! I currently only teach accent reduction, which is my specialty, helping B2-C2 level students to sound more American. I specialize in American pronunciation training and accent reduction, as well as language mentoring (learning how to learn a language in the way that works best for you). Please note that I do not teach beginners, children, or business English. I currently ONLY teach pronunciation/mouth posture. I am really good at connecting things, and this helps me to teach you better. I definitely understand how scary speaking can be and I am very patient, so you can relax and feel comfortable with me.

Kat has an excellent ear and will give you very precise feedback on your (home-) work. Being a highly competent and reliable guide on one's journey towards sounding natural (and eventually native), her approach is unique as it focuses on the various details of American English mouth posture. If you put in the time and energy to practice like you're learning how to play a new instrument, you will make rewarding discoveries and recognisable progress class after class. It's not an easy journey as you will have to unlearn most of how you have been speaking English. But if you master the correct posture all the sounds specific to American English will "magically" fall into place.

Another great lesson as always. I can notice how much my accent has improved since I started about five months ago.

It is another wonderful class. She taught the Diaphragmatic breathing which helps to decrease the month tension. The basic skills of T/D/N helped to better understand the American accent. She is also very patient to listen and help to find a solution of the problems during speaking. After taking 5 class with her, my mother tongue accent has been reduced significantly.
