Get to know me

Hi, I'm Kate

I'm a qualified English teacher (PGCE) with many years of experience helping students from all over the world improve their language skills and achieve their goals.

I'm also OET Certified and specialise in exam preparation, including OET, IELTS, Cambridge First and CPE, as well as speaking-focused lessons.

My approach is simple:

• Create a friendly, low-stress learning space

• Personalise lessons to suit you

• Support you every step of the way

Whether you're a healthcare professional taking the OET, a student aiming for a high IELTS band, or a retired individual looking for conversation, I'm here to help you feel confident, capable and ready for success.

Learning a language can be tough, but with the right encouragement it doesn't have to be.

Let's make it a little easier - and a lot more enjoyable - together!

My teaching journey

My career with English as a Foreign Language (EFL) began in Japan in 2016, where I was an Assistant Language Teacher for five years. During my time, I taught from the ages of five all the way to 82! I even co-authored a children's book which is now used in primary schools in Satsumasendai City.

I went on to gain a PGCE in 2022 from Canterbury Christ Church University, Kent, and threw myself into teaching EFL in the beautiful city of Canterbury.

I have been in Kent ever since, teaching at multiple schools in the area as well as privately.

I completed the OET Knowledge Certificate in 2025, and have delivered Continuous Professional Development sessions for colleagues.
