About Kate


Picture
Teaching English is not just a job for me. It is a “labor of love,” which gives me the opportunity to share American language and culture with people from around the world. 

I have been tutoring since 2001, and I have a Master’s degree in Teaching ESL. I was an English instructor at the City University of New York (CUNY) for many years. In 2015, I decided to focus on private tutoring. I am lucky to be doing my “dream job” every day! 

I am a native American English speaker who speaks standard American English, so I do not have a regional accent. 

I think it is important for a language teacher to understand the struggles of a language student. Therefore, I have been studying Japanese since 2007. I even have my own Japanese tutor! It is a fascinating challenge, and it helps me understand the perspective of adult language learners. Learning Japanese has also shown me how language and culture are connected. I understand that learning a language is a cultural experience, not only a linguistic experience.

It's been so great taking classes with Kate! She is the best tutor I've ever had! I learned a ton, not only about the language, but also about American culture and views. Everyone should know how wonderful she is.

Kate is an outstanding and highly motivating ESL tutor…. Every lesson is awesome, well structured and packed with fun. Her cultural trainings and our in-depth discussions about cross-cultural phenomena or economics are mind-blowing.
