Let me tell you a little bit about me. I am from Somerset, which is in the south-west of England.

I also spend a lot of time campaigning on climate, environment & animal rights issues. Finally, I really enjoy reading – actually, reading is one of my favourite things to do! Hopefully, we will have lots to talk about :) * Please note - I update my schedule on a weekly basis * I have over 10 years experience as a professional English teacher and have taught English at all levels. I have also taught preparation courses for IELTS and Cambridge exams. I have worked as a teacher in Oman, the UAE, Japan, Spain and the UK. I'm an extremely patient teacher.

Very nic English lesson as always. I always enjoy the conversation and the friendly atmosphere with Catherine. Part of the conversation was on the topic of the article Catherine sent to me in advance and part was a spontaneous friendly chat. Which is great for practicing English, when from time to time is not prepare in advance and I have to react immediately. And the last part of the lesson is devoted to a summary of the lesson, where I made mistakes and how to correct them. Perfect lesson!!

Catherine is a kind, supportive, and very professional teacher. Her lessons are always interesting, and she really adapts them to your personal needs and goals. I always feel comfortable speaking during our lessons because the atmosphere is so relaxed and motivating. At the same time, I’ve improved a lot in grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and overall confidence. She’s also just a great person to talk to, which makes every lesson enjoyable. I can truly recommend Catherine to anyone looking for a friendly and professional teacher 🤍
