About Me
italki teacher since Jun 3, 2021InterestsReadingTravelFoodWritingHistory
Hi! I'm Kate, a passionate and energetic English teacher from Pretoria, South Africa, and I'd love to help you reach your English goals!
I've been teaching English full-time since 2021 and hold a TEFL diploma. As a native English speaker, I bring real-world language experience to every lesson. I've lived and taught in the United States (for over a year) and Germany, where I taught English to a local family — so I understand what it's like to learn a language in a new environment, and I tailor my teaching with that empathy in mind.
My lessons are always personalised to you, your level, your goals, your pace. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to polish your fluency, I'll create a structured plan that challenges and motivates you.
I specialise in:
🗣️ Conversational English & fluency building
🔤 Pronunciation & accent clarity
📚 Vocabulary expansion
📝 IELTS preparation
📖 Reading comprehension
I'm patient, warm, and genuinely enthusiastic about teaching. I believe every student has untapped potential and my job is to help you find it. My lessons are relaxed and engaging, so you'll always feel comfortable and confident, never judged.
When I'm not teaching, I'm writing, travelling, cooking, or exploring new cultures through photography and blogging. I'm a people person through and through, so expect plenty of fun conversation in our lessons!My teaching material
