My name is Katie and I am from Liverpool in the UK. I love to live in different countries and currently I am living in Japan. My hobby is studying ikebana. This is the art of Japanese style flower arranging. It has been my hobby for a few years now and has taught me a lot about nature and beauty. Another passion of mine is learning languages (I study Japanese and Sinhala). I love being both a language student and teacher because I think being able to share learning experiences with my students means we can learn from each other.

Me as a Teacher

I have worked in so many different kinds of environments as a teacher. When I started teaching I was running my own school for volunteers during university. From there I moved on to public school in Japan and followed that up with working for a children focused private language school. I have since been traveling around many different countries and working as a freelance tutor for adults and teens who want to learn English.

My lessons & teaching style

I like my lessons to be active and lively. My teaching style is student based so I am always adapting and changing to suit the student. I offer conversation classes as well as profession and in-depth grammar classes and test preparation. My focus is always on giving useful feedback and clear explanations to support my student's growth and development.

Katie is a great teacher! She helped me to prepare for TOEFL in 1.5 months, and I scored 107. These lessons (as well as the textbook-based ones) are extremely well structured and clear. Thanks Katie!
