Testimonials

What my students say

Ahyeon

I studied with Kate for about 2 years and I highly recommend having a class with Kate She is highly motivated, reliable, and pleasant to study with.As an international student, I encountered many language barriers and experienced academic difficulties. However, thanks to Kate, I could overcome such language problems and gain more confidence. She gave advice about my university assignments, IELTS preparation, and even job interviews. She is a very experienced, qualified and knowledgeable tutor, she taught me a wide range of topics very clearly. Instead of taking classes from any institute, studying with her was the right decision and has prepared me much better. Thank you Kate

Lulu

Someone introduced Teacher Kate on a WeChat platform, so I contacted her. I chose online lessons. Kate is very professional. She tailored a study plan according to my ideas, using conversational practice to improve my speaking skills and helping me strengthen my weaknesses. My English improved very quickly, and I am becoming more confident when speaking English. I truly recommend Teacher Kate.

Maria

Your academic IELTS preparation support has improved my English and had an impact on my final IELTS score. I was struggling to obtain 7 in each band with 3 unsuccessful attempts, so I decided to take some private lessons with you and I finally obtained 7 and above for each band in my academic IELTS. Your skills as a academic English teacher are superior and you always helped me to bring out the best in me.As a result of my good IELTS score I have gained my Registration as Psychologist in Australia and I could not be more happy and proud of it.

Viv

Kate is an exceptional English teacher, and I have truly enjoyed being her student. Over the 6 months I have studied with her, I’ve seen significant progress in my English skills. I appreciate her teaching approach, which creates a supportive environment that encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and a focus on big goals rather than mistakes or embarrassment. I am still a student in her class, with my next goal being to improve my pronunciation. With Ms. Kate's guidance, I am confident I will achieve my language goals in no time
