🌟 **IELTS & Advanced English Specialist | Clarity & Confidence Builder**
Hello! I’m Kate, a British English teacher with 13+ years of experience helping professionals and IELTS candidates speak with precision and ease. My background in Computing Science and Economics means I love tackling complex topics—think tech, business, or global trends—while making English feel simple and natural.
Students describe my lessons as *"strategic, clear, and surprisingly relaxed."* Whether you’re refining fluency for work or aiming for a high IELTS score, I’ll give you the tools to express ideas convincingly—without memorising endless rules.
Let’s turn mistakes into progress. *(Adults only.)*Ja jako nauczyciel
Students often describe me as patient, supportive and very clear in my explanations.
One of my strengths is helping learners understand why something works in English, not just correcting mistakes. I enjoy breaking complex language into simple strategies that students can use immediately.
I specialise in helping intermediate and advanced learners improve fluency, expand vocabulary and develop more natural sentence structures.
For IELTS students, I focus on the practical skills examiners want to hear: clear structure, precise vocabulary and confident speaking.
Many students stay with me for months because they appreciate the structured approach and steady progress. Moje lekcje & Styl nauczania
My lessons are structured, practical and conversation-focused.
Rather than memorising large lists of vocabulary, we focus on strategies that help you express ideas clearly and confidently. I introduce useful language in context and give clear feedback so you understand exactly how to improve.
Lessons usually include:
• thoughtful conversation on interesting topics
• useful vocabulary and natural expressions
• pronunciation and fluency coaching
• clear correction and explanation of mistakes
• IELTS speaking and writing strategies if needed
My lessons work best for motivated adult learners who want steady progress rather than quick one-off lessons.Moje materiały dydaktyczne

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!

I started my lessons with Kate about two months ago, and I can definitely say that it was very useful for my future IELTS test. Today we practiced the speaking part and we noticed that I make almost no mistakes, which was not the case when we just started. Also, thanks to my teacher I know what to expect from the test and this makes me feel confident and less nervous which I think is essential for getting the grade one is aiming for.

I had two months before the test when I registered for it, and I believe that I feel ready despite such a short notice mainly thanks to my teacher Kate. There is no doubt I would recommend taking lessons with her because not only does she know what is important for the examiners, but also has an ability to analise the current level of the student and find the right way to improve it. And last, but not least - Kate is a lovely person and she very easy to talk to!

My IELTS class with Kate was very helpful. She explained how to approach the written tasks of the Academic IELTS exam more effectively, notably how to structure the text for Task1 and how to form topic sentences. I would definitely recommend the class to anyone preparing for the IELTS exam.
