About Me
Hello,
My name is Mr. Kat Rogan.
I am a professional language and writing instructor with an extensive background in coaching all levels of learners internationally in many different teaching, online, one on one, and in the classroom settings.
As a communication major my skills from public speaking made it possible for me to teach at the university level for a number of years, and then move into the private field of language schools and training.
This and my dedication to helping others has allowed me to learn, and develop, some of the best, most effective, and widely used language training tools in the world. I have a passion for languages. I would like to share what I know and continue to develop my skills and understanding for many years.
Qualifications & Experience
My education encompasses a long career as a news reporter and journalist as a Mass Communication student from the University of Utah. I also have a degree in Business Management from Weber State University. My master's education is in Multi-Media Film, MFA. I specialize in all forms of professional communication in business, interviewing, writing, examinations, basic conversation, and kid's phonics training. And I am TEFL certified to teach children.
Having been a language trainer and learner for 14 years, I have taught thousands of students from around the world.
In my experience, I have developed dedicated lesson planning systems, specifically designed for the student depending on their needs.
Interestingly, I have found many ESL students with difficulties reaching their true potential. I have also found traditional models of learning to be rather rigid and outdated for progressive thought in the high-paced technologically-driven communication world we live in today.
These issues are very important when it comes to speaking at high levels or high-pressure situations. My system brings together the best learning programs into one comprehensive lesson planning system and is adjustable to each specific need and goal of the learner.
Some of my classes have helped my students to pass entry exams, get great jobs, get into great universities, succeed at all levels of speaking, writing, and communication for professional and interpersonal use all while having fun. My classes are fun, and I really love teaching that's why I still do it after all these years.
