Hello, I’m Cathy! I’m an experienced English language teacher:
- Native English speaker
- Degree in Modern Language Studies
- CELTA qualified teacher of English as a foreign language
- 2 years’ experience of teaching English in Spain to adults and children
- 5 years’ experience of teaching online
- 15 years’ experience of working in education in the UK
- On-going learner of Spanish and French
- 10 years experience of teaching French to young children
I am passionate about teaching English and I organise all courses around the student. We’ll talk together before the course starts so that I can find out how you want to learn and what your interests are.
I have been teaching online for the past five years. Regular contact with students promotes good relationships and good learning.
In addition, I have a lot of experience with children. I’ve raised my own family, I’ve worked in primary schools in the UK and I’ve taught English to young children in Spain. Spending time with children and teaching them through play is an invaluable tool in broadening their vocabulary and their confidence.
I speak French and Spanish and I understand the difficulties and frustrations of language learning. When teaching, this helps me to guide my students towards finding the best way for them to improve and develop their language learning abilities, but most of all I want them to enjoy this experience!
