Catherine (Tutor)

 EFL (degree, adult-learner)

 French (gcse, adult-learner)

Qualified, professional and dynamic teacher of English as a Foreign Language, specialising in business English and pronunciation as well as general English. Teacher of French up to intermediate level. Free hour assessment of your level, requirements and goals to ensure lessons are tailored, relevant and realistic.

One-to-one lessons in your home or a central Reading location. I also run two small group classes in central Reading, one for business people (of a simiar level), and one for international students at University (advanced conversation classes.)

I have varied teaching experience and the CELTA qualification - but before entering teaching I spent 10 years co-owning and running a small company. My commercial background, especially managing overseas clients, means I have a unique insight into the English language requirements of an international business environment - something which gives me an edge as a teacher of business English.
