“As an advanced speaker of English, it can sometimes be difficult to keep progressing, especially when you lack qualified feedback. Catherine has exceeded all of my expectations. She has not only noticed aspects of my pronunciation which could be improved but has also given helpful, objective, and - most importantly - kind feedback. I’m very glad for the opportunity to learn from her and would recommend this experience to anyone who would like to take their English to the next level.” – Bruna Passos, Brazil

“Dear Catherine,

You’re an incredibly competent, generous, thoughtful, and supportive teacher. You inspire enthusiasm and curiosity, giving accurate and careful feedback and listening attentively to your students with real interest in them. This is precious. Thank you so much for your lessons.” — Sabina Damiani, Italy

“Working with Catherine (you!) was the highlight of my week. We consistently had the best discussions, both vocabulary and content-wise, and the materials she provided were always top-notch. I was constantly astounded by the precision and curation of everything she shared. It also felt incredibly liberating to have a space where I could truly be myself and share all my crazy ideas without the usual pressure of being a role model. As teachers, we don't always get to explore and play with language freely, as we often need to be more certain in our word choices to best guide students.

My sessions with Catherine were all about that exploration, digging deeper, expanding horizons, questioning, and playfully experimenting with language in a way that felt energizing, not tiring or dull – even if the homework was always thorough! I highly recommend her to anyone looking to challenge their English, find a caring and respectful teacher, and someone who genuinely listens and is there to support you. I'll truly miss our Thursday conversations!” — Jessy Dias, Brazil

MY SERVICES

  • Private Speaking Lessons

    Your English matters.

    You sometimes worry that your English is slipping away. You wanna keep it strong and supple.

    You’re an English language teacher who wants to maintain and expand upon your advanced (C1/C2) English in engaging conversations.

    You want to keep speaking naturally and with confidence in your day to day life, and especially with our students.

    Use your advanced English with me. We’ll focus on accuracy (because you want to be sure you’ve got it right), but also on that more relaxed, messy way of speaking English that helps you model informal English with your students too.

  • "Hear You Go!" A Podcast for English Learners

    Listening matters.

    Sure we listen all the time…for ideas. That’s good.

    But to listen better, to speak better, we’ve got to listen for the sounds of English.

    English is fast, connected, messy.

    Hear You Go podcast is for intermediate and advanced curious people who want to practice listening.

    Listen for more than just new vocabulary: listen for word and sentence stress, contractions and reductions, and rhythm and intonation… all those sounds you find in fast, connected, messy spoken English.

    But also listen ‘cuz it’s interesting and fun!
