We are super happy with Kate. She is very easy to interact with our son (10 years old). You can tell she is hugely experienced and uses the latest learning techniques. She makes learning fun, positive and interactive.

My daughter is always waiting for this class. Teacher Kate has the ability to make Lucy enjoyable to participate in class by praising and encouraging Lucy. She seems to be friendly to children and value their thoughts.
It's a very beneficial class for Lucy.
