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!

Kate is a kind and patient teacher. For each lesson, she prepares comprehensive materials based on the topics we have agreed on in advance. She patiently explains any areas I don't understand, corrects my mistakes, and writes them down to send to me. Besides the lesson topics, we also chat about personal matters, such as our families and hobbies, just like chatting with friends. The atmosphere in the lesson is relaxed, and the time flies by quickly. I often feel like I want to continue the conversation, but the class has already ended.
老师很和蔼且有耐心，每次课都会根据我们事先约定好的话题准备内容十分充分的课件，会很耐心地帮我解释我不明白的地方，同时也会纠正我的错误，并且帮我记下来发送给我。除了课堂话题之外，我们也会聊一些家常内容，就像平时跟同事朋友聊天一样，十分轻松的氛围，一节课很快就过去了，常常感觉意犹未尽。
