“Kate has very good teaching skills. She is a great teacher with a friendly and patient attitude and helped my daughter a lot with her English. She responds to parents or students needs clearly and quickly and also she has strong responsibility for her lesson, too. We love her lessons! If you want to find an ESL teacher for your child, I strongly recommend her.”

“I was looking for a tutor for my son who had difficulties in learning English, and being an ESL student at primary school he needed that extra support when he started year 7. When I found Kate as a tutor for my son, his learning abilities changed. Kate is very gentle and teaches in a way that my son enjoys. I would recommend Kate for English tutoring. She is a wonderful person and I am also very pleased that my son’s grades have improved.”
— Reema
“I have known Kate as a teaching colleague and friend for almost ten years, and I give her the highest recommendation.

Kate and I have taught together on several occasions, and I am always impressed by her dedication and ability to connect with her students.”
