Test Prep, Business English Tutor (for over 18s A2-C2). World top 100 university.
Hello, My name is Cathy. My test prep students get top scores! I recently had a student on Classgap get a C1 score for the Oxford Test of English and another one get a C1 score for the Cambridge Test of English. See reviews from high-scoring IELTS students (7,8 and more!) I am proud to say that my most recent TOEFL student got 5.5 overall with a 6 in Writing (which is like the old 110 score). Language Cert, Aptis and SELT students succeed. My Business English students impress people in meetings. I am a professional, qualified ESL teacher with four years of online experience. Welcome to my classes! As a proud member of the IATEFL organisation (for tutors), I look forward to giving you the excellent lessons you deserve.
I coach IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, Aptis, Cambridge, TOEIC, GMAT, GRE, SAT, SELT, OET, OTE, TOEIC, Linguaskill, Language Cert, Duolingo and other examination students. One student gained a place at The University of Oxford, another got to Harvard University.
I have had GMAT and TOEFL students gain access to prestigious MBA courses. SAT students have achieved the level necessary to get to top universities. Join me in class to get some great tips and excellent test prep materials.
I offer to set and mark one homework task per class, for no extra charge. As a graduate of a world top 100 university myself, I understand how important it is to get the test score that you need. I have won tutor awards.
My real life professional finance experience as an accountant gives me the edge in teaching Business English. I was a member of the I.C.A.E.W. between 1996 and 2024, and worked as a chartered accountant, so have real-life finance experience. I can coach for job interviews, presentations, meetings, and 'small talk'. General English students are welcome, too!

Cathy is a wonderful and well-prepared English teacher. She always greeted me with a big smile and a positive attitude, which made every lesson enjoyable. Thanks to her support, I was able to prepare for my IELTS exam successfully. She introduced me to a variety of topics and also helped me improve my grammar in a clear and patient way. I've truly enjoyed our lessons over the past few months. Thank you so much, Cathy, for your support!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Incredible IELTS Teacher Who Changed My Journey!
I am a doctor and recently secured a Band 7 in my IELTS exam—something I couldn’t have achieved without the support, guidance, and dedication of my amazing teacher Ms Cathy K.Her teaching style is clear, focused, and incredibly effective. She understands the specific needs of each student and pushes just enough to bring out the best in you without overwhelming you.
Thanks to her exp ...ert coaching, I am now entering the University of Oxford to pursue further studies. I genuinely believe her training made a huge difference in helping me reach this milestone. Her feedback was always spot on, especially in writing and speaking, where I saw the most improvement.
If you are serious about improving your IELTS score and want a teacher who truly cares about your success, I highly recommend her. She's not just a teacher—she's a game-changer.

The trial lesson with Cathryn was really good! She paid attention to what my needs are and what goals I’d like to reach. I’ll book more classes with her.

I was looking for an English teacher to prepare for the Advanced C1 (I passed with grade A); I couldn't be happier that I found Cathryn.
She has helped me with each step of the exam, providing all the materials needed as well as her tips to pass it . I like that she doesn't give homework ; we do all the writing in class, helping me get things done.
I highly recommend her, as she is nice, truly professional, and prepared for all kinds of levels .... Thank you Cathryn!!
