Hello, I’m Kate, a British English teacher with over 13 years of online teaching experience. I have a Master’s degree in Computing Science and a degree in Economics, and I enjoy working with curious, thoughtful learners from many different professional backgrounds. My students often tell me they feel relaxed speaking with me, even when discussing complex topics. I believe language improves fastest when you feel comfortable experimenting, making mistakes and gradually building confidence. I particularly enjoy interesting conversations about culture, ideas and real-world topics while helping students develop clearer, more natural English. Adults only please.

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!

I really appreciate the application of modern teaching methods using artificial intelligence. The materials prepared are of a high standard. The graphics and accompanying texts help me understand the topic. Kate is gradually improving my level of English. High satisfaction.
