I'm a retired programmer, an experienced British English tutor, and the author of "How to Go Up a Band in IELTS." With my background in IT and a gentle and patient teaching style, I've assisted many non-native speakers in improving their communication abilities before moving to Canada, Australia, and the UK or studying there. I have a Master's in IT and a level 5 certificate in teaching English to speakers of foreign languages. The British Council taught me to teach IELTS. I have been president of both Gloucester and Cheltenham Speakers public speaking clubs. Book a trial today to begin! (Note: I don't have the right materials for children. Please do not book a lesson for your child.)

Over the last couple of months, Kate has been teaching me how to effectively structure Task 1 and Task 2 essays for IELTS. Together, we read through all of my essays word by word and Kate provided valuable suggestions on the adjustments necessary to achieve my target band. I have also benefitted from self-studying collocations with the materials Kate picked up for me, and it made wonders for the quality of my writing. Kate, thank you for your outstanding professionalism and commitment to teaching!

This was my last class with Kate, and I must say she is absolutely wonderful. She takes the time to explain things like grammatical structures with creative examples and different perspectives, making everything easier to understand. I mainly practiced writing and speaking with her, and she provided excellent tips that are incredibly useful for the IELTS. Highly recommended! She is very empathetic, so don’t hesitate to choose her!

she has changed my brain which was improved to learn actively. I highly recommend Coach Kate’s class because of her professional and her constant encouragement. Without her pushing, I would have never thought in creative way during my language learning. I really appreciate her support!
