About Me
italki teacher since Sep 18, 2017Me as a Teacher
I am a professional teacher, TESOL certified. I teach IELTS, TOELF and CELPIP.
I studied linguistics and phonetics when I was studying for my TESOL teaching certificate at York University.
Study methods and repetitions are very important, so no matter what kind of class you choose, I will go over some effective methods and things that we can do to make reviewing less dreadful.
My goal is to help you with your language learning; you will always be the center of the class.

Cathy is the real deal; a fantastic teacher! She gave me a ton of resources. Our first lesson flowed really well, I can tell that with her guidance I will be able to learn Japanese a lot more quickly. I will be booking another class with her as soon as possible and if you haven't booked a teacher yet I recommend Cathy!

Cathy is very friendly and supportive. I don't have words to express how good is she! I really enjoy my classes with her! She is an amazing teacher and I am learning a lot of things! In the end of each class, she gives me homework to do, which is excellent so I can learn more and more.

Cathy is definitely a client orientated teacher, 'cause I found what I was looking for for ages) Consistent feedback about my English and ways to enhance it were provided in a friendly and easy going manner. I would for sure recommend Cathy as a proficient mentor in learning foreign languages. Cathy is gorgeous!
