About Me
italki teacher since Jun 7, 2021
Hi, I’m Kate, a qualified Occupational Therapist from Manchester, UK. I currently work in a hospital as an Occupational Therapist and took a career break from 2018- 2019 to move to Spain and work as a Language Assistant in a school teaching English to 3-14 year olds. I found teaching extremely rewarding and I would like to continue to support others learning the language, specialising in teaching English to health professionals.
As an Occupational Therapist, I have experience of working within various areas of practice including: elderly care, orthopaedics, neurosurgery ,major trauma, A&E and paediatrics.
I love to travel and meet new people from different parts of the world.
Me as a Teacher
I have a University Degree (BSc Occupational Therapy) and a TEFL qualification. I now aim to combine my background as a health professional with teaching English to those working in a healthcare setting.
As a language learner myself (I’m currently learning Spanish) I understand the difficulties faced when learning a new language. I am friendly, approachable and patient. I ensure my students feel as relaxed as possible during lessons as I’m aware of how daunting it can be when learning a new language.
My lessons & teaching style
Day to day I work alongside various professionals including Medics, Psychologists, Nurses and Allied Health Professionals (OTs, Physios, SALT) and many others. I aim to help students within these roles to communicate confidently and clearly with patients and colleagues in a health setting. During lessons, we can focus on improving all key skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing, which are required within this professional environment. If there is something that you would like to specifically focus on, I can plan my lessons to help you achieve your personal goals. I aim to make the lessons as fun and engaging as possible using various materials.

I could learn a lot, from pronunciation to grammar. But more important, I also enjoyed it very much and learning became more fun. Thank you for your patience and the interesting topics. I'm looking forward our next classes!
