Hi, I’m Katie, a qualified English teacher from the UK with over 25 years of teaching experience.
I help adult learners become more confident and fluent in spoken English, and I also have experience with Cambridge exams - FCE, CAE and IELTS.
I’ve taught in Poland, in Cambridge, and online, working with learners from a range of backgrounds and levels.
I also enjoy learning languages myself (French, German, Spanish and Polish), so I understand the challenges from the learner’s side.
My lessons are relaxed and supportive, with a focus on helping you speak more naturally and confidently.
I offer:
* conversation lessons - practise your speaking and fix your mistakes - a different topic each week.
* grammar lessons - clear explanations, exercises and spoken practice.
* read and chat lessons - learn through texts and conversations.
* writing lessons - practise your writing and get feedback.
* exam preparation lessons - FCE, CAE and IELTS.

Katie is a mild-mannered teacher who knows how to help a student to learn a natural and polite way of speaking. She corrects mistakes without interrupting the conversation and her explanations of grammar are clear and easy to understand. Moreover, the topics she chose for the lessons are interesting. I enjoyed talking about them very much. Through her lessons I got confidence in speaking English!
