Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 13 Feb 2012InterestsFilms & TV SeriesMedical & HealthcareITPets & AnimalsArt
I focus on **practical, real-world English**—whether business, interviews, presentations or just great conversation on topics of your own choice.
With a Master’s in IT and British Council-trained IELTS teaching, I’ve guided hundreds of students to succeed in moving abroad or advancing careers. My gentle, patient style makes complex skills feel simple.
*** (Adults only, please—I have no children’s materials.)*Ik als leerkracht
My teaching style is patient and kind. I use my varied experience as a software engineer, charity worker and public speaking group leader, along with extensive training in IELTS, a CERT EDI TEFL level 5 certificate, and a native British accent not related to any particular region of Britain, to create great learning experiences for my students. I focus on practical skills.
If you are taking IELTS, you will need a package of at least 20 lessons and three months of preparation before the test. I do not teach last-minute IELTS.

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!
