I've been Katie's student for almost 2 years. I cannot have classes with other teachers since I have class with her, because she's energetic, responsible, and very professional！ She help me a lot in English, we talk about culture, geography, life etc. It's really good to have her as my teacher.❤

I really like Katie's lessons. I was preparing for the CAE Cambridge exam with her and I feel that these sessions helped me a lot in raising my level of English and improving how express myself. Moreover, I had a lot of fun learning English with Katie. We worked together on every part of the exam that caused me difficulties, Katie gave very good advice and recommendations on how to improve my answer and what strategies for completing the test can be used. Katie also gave great feedback about my writing assignments. She is very attentive and organised, a wonderful teacher and conversationalist. Thank you very much! Recommended!
