About Me

Hello!
Are you looking for a dedicated English teacher for yourself or your child? I’d be delighted to assist!

With a TESOL certification, a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science, and a Master’s in Bilingual Education, I offer a strong foundation in teaching English. As a native English speaker fluent in advanced-level Spanish, I’m well-equipped to support a diverse range of learners.

I view education as a collaborative journey, tailored to each student’s unique needs. With over a decade of experience teaching English both online and in classroom settings, I have successfully worked with Chinese and Spanish-speaking students of varying ages and proficiency levels. My goal is to provide engaging, dynamic, and high-quality learning experiences for all my students.

Please reach out with details about your learning needs. Together, we’ll identify the best approach to help you achieve your goals. While I offer a range of structured courses, I’m also flexible and open to incorporating your own materials if that’s what works best for you. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

-Teacher Kat 😊

My trial lessons

In our 30-minute trial lesson, we'll start with a friendly introduction and brief assessment to gauge your English level. We’ll then dive into a focused activity—whether it’s vocabulary, grammar, conversation, or reading. I’ll provide feedback and discuss your goals and next steps. Feel free to ask any questions about the lesson or my teaching approach. I look forward to working with you and making our session both engaging and productive!
