Hi! I'm Kathryn, an American living in Spain. I've been teaching since 2012 and love learning new strategies and styles, and finding new activities and resources.
Hola, soy Kathryn, soy de EEUU y vivo en España. Trabajo como profesora desde 2012 y me encanta aprender y aplicar estrategias nuevas en mis clases.
I've been teaching English and Spanish since 2012 and coaching language teachers since 2015. I originally studied to teach Spanish, and then studied a Masters in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. I have taught in the classroom and online, and have experience with big groups, small groups, and one-to-one classes. I have worked with children aged 5-18 and adults, and have experience teaching Business English, Cambridge exam preparation, and Trinity exam preparation.
Llevo desde 2012 como profesora de inglés y español. He trabajado como formadora desde 2015. Soy titulada en filología española y estudié un máster de enseñanza de inglés. He dado clases presenciales y online.
Language learning should be fun and accessible! My lessons focus on interaction with the language, using vocabulary and grammar in conversation. We'll sometimes stop to break down a grammar concept or review correct use, but you should practice as much as possible. I offer supportive feedback and error correction so you can continue to improve.
I use reading and storytelling (TPRS methodology) a...My teaching material

Excellent! Kathryn's lesson is very well-organized and thought-provoking. She readily identified my son's strengths and areas for growth, and designed a lesson plan tailored to my son. During the lessons, Kathryn has created a comfortable atmosphere so that my son can proactively participate in discussion. Her feedback is thorough and useful. I will continue to work with Kathryn!
