Things I love:

Iâve been teaching English and Irish for the last number of years at prestigious schools in Spain, Portugal and online. I've had students from all over including, Spain, Portugal, France, Brazil, Russia and China.Me as a Teacher
My students are made to feel comfortable and their confidence is built up right away in order to become proficient speakers whether they are complete beginners or intermediate level :)
My best quality as a teacher is the ability to recognise individual needs and plan my classes accordingly so that every class is highly engaging for you!
I have experience teaching Cambridge Exams, IELTS, iGCSE, IB Diploma and General English.My lessons & teaching style
I use a wide range of materials such as articles, videos, music and other authentic resources which will help you to feel more confident when speaking English and Irish and will be sure to keep you fully engaged!

Kate is an amazing teacher. She is able to engage in a conversation in so many different topics and is flexible to adapt the lesson of the day to suit your needs of that day. She is definitely playing a major role in my journey through the language and my personal growth.
