About Me
italki teacher since Jul 19, 2021Interest topicReadingHistoryBusiness & FinanceTravelFashion & Beauty
I am a former New Yorker currently living in Spain. I worked in the corporate offices for an American fashion house in NYC and love coaching people on business, strategy, and most importantly-communication! I like to travel, read, and listen to podcasts. I am on my own language journey with Spanish, so I can relate to the struggles we all feel as we are learning a new language.
I'm charismatic, patient, and easy to talk to. I look forward to meeting you and helping you reach your goals!Me as a Teacher
By creating a comfortable learning environment, you will have the confidence to speak freely and the room to make mistakes, with helpful in-the-moment correction.
I push my students to engage in discussion questions, and enjoy getting to know them and their interests. I am well-read and able to tackle a variety of topics from business to current events and pop culture.
My experience and expertise is best suited for ADULT learners who are intermediate to higher level English speakers (B1-C2).My lessons & teaching style
Classes can be conversational, or topical/thematic, or focused on functional language and vocabulary, according to your goals and preferences.
Improve your interview skills and build confidence, gain cultural insight into the language, and learn best practices for general business communication. Resume review and editing and interview practice is also available for ongoing students (this service is not offered during trial lessons).
I offer personalized lessons with a variety of activities: video, speaking, and reading. I share corrections and any relevant notes for each class.My teaching material

I had a great time chatting with the Kate in every class, and even though I made a lot of mistakes in my delivery, she always made a great effort to work with me and provide more topics to talk about, which made me feel like my performance wasn't so bad and increased my confidence.
