Me as a Teacher
Hi there, I am Kate from Pretoria, South Africa. I love to teach and I am passionate about the English language. I am a blog writer and have travelled and lived in the United States for a year and a half. I have also lived in Germany and taught English to a family whilst living there. I have a TEFL diploma and speak English as my first language. I look forward to meeting you and practising the English language together. Focusing on:
- Pronunciation
- Vocabulary
- Conversational skills
- IELTS practice
- Reading
Look forward to hearing from you!
My lessons & teaching style
I am patient with each of my students. I also adapt to each individual and their specific needs according to their level of English. I like to challenge my students because I believe you never really know your full potential until you are challenged. I am always energetic and make my student feel welcomed and comfortable in the lesson.
Each lesson is planned according to the student's capabilities, all will be based on the student's level. I look forward to hearing from you.

She's so kind to me because I hardly can't speak too well. So, I'd appreciate her so much, and I'm going to practice pronunciation in the way she tells me. Thank you, teacher Kate ❤️
