About Katherine (known as Kate)
(Please note that I am currently responding to enquiries for clients who wish to start lessons in September and that I will not be able to undertake new lessons until the start of September as I am working on intensive courses over the summer).
I am an enthusiastic and experienced tutor with a strong commitment to helping students to develop their confidence and realize their potential in public examinations.
With a PhD in French, an MA in Comparative Literature and Translation Theory (English; French; Spanish) and a BA (Hons) in Spanish; French, I have many years’ experience in teaching both English and Modern Languages. I have also taught English for Academic Purposes to many international students within the University of London and supervised and assessed numerous Pre-Master’s dissertations. I am therefore not only well-equipped to prepare students for GCSE and A Level but also to support them during degree programmes at British universities.
I am used to helping students to approach aspects of English which they often find challenging, such as Poetry and Media Texts. I am usually able to find ways in which to make these and other aspects of their studies relatable and accessible for the student. By giving a learner practice in interpreting an examination question and helping them to understand what the examiner is looking for, I aim to enable the student to apply their knowledge effectively in examination conditions. I have myself been a French A level Oral Examiner (and conducted a great deal of University level assessment) and am accustomed to helping students to gain vital confidence in their use of both English and Modern Languages. Overall, I regard any student of mine as a VIP and their confidence and success as my overriding priority.

Perfect! really effective tutor
Kate has been tutoring my daughter for a number of months now - very effectively! Kate is very reliable, very well mannered and has taken the time to "get" my daughter and designed lessons around her and her particular interests, balancing formal teaching with conversation classes. We are all very happy and highly recommend Kate!
