Fun lessons in English with a friendly teacher
It's all about confidence. I can help you with homework, grammar, accent, and practice conversations you would like to perfect. I use games, song, art, videos, and send you on treasure hunts to collect real-life experiences for homework.

About Katherine C.
4.8
(6)
I started teaching English and Spanish at age 20. My main methods are finding out what the student wants to accomplish and practicing those conversations, offering friendly corrections, until they feel comfortable. During sessions I like to play games, watch and discuss short films, and reinforce vocabulary and phrases with reading, writing, art, and song. Your homework may be treasure hunts in the real world to build confidence. For me it's all about practicing what you learn, seeing your success, and building confidence.

Katherine is one of the most passionate, dynamic, and knowledgable teachers with a firm grip on sea turtle research. Her experience in field translates into teaching methods based on first hand discovery and hands.on techniques, as well as research project design. Her example, style, and her sensitivity to the cultural context where scientific research takes place, have been an inspiration to me as an environmental educator.
