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.
