----------------------------------------------------------------
Born in Hong Kong, but a Canadian raised in Canada. I am very passionate about learning and teaching languages. As a language learner myself, I totally understand the challenges that you might face.
I have been studying Japanese for many years, taught English in Japan for 3 months to students of all ages and did language exchange with college students when I was there. Currently learning Spanish.
香港の出身ですが、子ともの頃に家族とカナダに移住して、もうカナダトロントに20年以上住んでいます。ですので、広東語と英語も話せます。 大学の時英語教授法、言語学、音声学を勉強して、TESOLという英語教師の免許を持っております。 2017年三か月間日本の長崎で六歳から16歳までの学生さん達に英語を教えました.Me as a Teacher
I am a professional teacher, TESOL certified, familar with IELTS and CELPIP.
I studied linguistics and phonetics when I was studying for my TESOL teaching certificate at York University.
Study methods and repetitions are very important, so no matter what kind of class you choose, I will go over some effective methods and things that we can do to make reviewing less dreadful.
My goal is to help you with your language learning; you will always be the center of the class.

Cathy is the real deal; a fantastic teacher! She gave me a ton of resources. Our first lesson flowed really well, I can tell that with her guidance I will be able to learn Japanese a lot more quickly. I will be booking another class with her as soon as possible and if you haven't booked a teacher yet I recommend Cathy!

Cathy is very friendly and supportive. I don't have words to express how good is she! I really enjoy my classes with her! She is an amazing teacher and I am learning a lot of things! In the end of each class, she gives me homework to do, which is excellent so I can learn more and more.
