Hello!
I'm a professional, CELTA-qualified English teacher from Australia, and have been based in UK for a decade. I specialise in teaching adults and love helping students build confidence through conversation and structured learning.
My interests are broad and include: cooking, travel, exploring different cultures, history, music, books and reading, learning languages, philosophy, psychology, art, health and fitness, skincare, fashion, sociology, anthropology, and technology.
I’m always happy to chat about these topics, or anything you enjoy, in our lessons.
Me as a Teacher
I am a highly qualified and experienced EFL teacher. I hold a CELTA certificate and began my professional teaching career in 2009, with an initial TESOL qualification.
My experience includes teaching at language schools in the UK and Australia—working with students at all proficiency levels. I adapt my approach to be supportive with beginners while providing the necessary challenge for advanced learners to progress.
In addition to my teaching expertise, I hold a Master’s degree and offer proofreading and copy-editing services for academic and business documents.
My lessons & teaching style
My style is open, friendly, and focused on getting you to speak comfortably. I always provide corrections and helpful feedback to help you improve.
What I Offer
Natural Conversation Classes: Let’s talk about anything! I’ll encourage you to speak at your own pace, helping you gain fluency and confidence.
Structured Professional Lessons: We can follow a tailored plan to meet specific goals, with optional homework to reinforce learning.
*Please note: I don't teach children and I prefer to teach through Microsoft Teams, Google Meets, and Brave Talk.*

As an introvert person I must say, sometimes is uneasy to find connections with you teacher and talk. However, Kathy has a gift to make you feel comfortable. Every class is excellent, full of new vocabulary, full of questions that make you think about. After finishing a class I feel satisfied with the conversation. Thanks Kathy.

I was thrilled with the first session with Kathy, so I booked 10 other lessons with her. I definitely recommend her for conversational lessons.

Dear Kathy
Your lessons are always fun, I really enjoy the conversations we have and I can literally feel my English improving thanks to these sessions. You never run out of engaging topics and advanced vocabulary. You make me talk and that's exactly what I need to practice my speaking skills. Thanks.

Kathy is one of the best English teachers I've ever had, she's always on time and tries very hard to explain everything if you don't understand something, the lessons are always incredibly productive, you learn a lot of new things in a short time

Kathy is a fantastic teacher to work with. She is always well-prepared for a lesson and never lets me leave the classroom empty-handed without any takeaways. In addition, she gives direct feedback on my mistakes and provides me with better words or phrases to replace them. Finally, her teaching materials are neat, which facilitates my learning. I recommend her to anyone who genuinely wants to learn English well. Thank you, Kathy!
