    Primary school can be tough when you are newer to English, especially if you are about to go through SATs or the 11+ process. Our 1:1 lessons are designed for all levels of learners, whether your child has only just started speaking English or been learning for years but still finds their grammar and vocabulary are not up to the level of native speakers. Lessons are individualised for your child’s unique learning profile and designed to boost confidence and proficiency in reading, writing, listening and speaking.

    Starting secondary school can be intimidating even as a native speaker. Our 1:1 English lessons for secondary learners are designed to build confidence and prioritise the most important skills to help your child succeed at secondary. We develop conversational English to help your child socialise with their peers and create secure friendships, build vocabulary including subject-specific vocabulary and ensure grammar, comprehension and writing skills are solid, setting them up to succeed.

Dilan, Advanced conversational English client

“While my initial intention was only a few hours with Katherine to boost my fluency in daily English speaking, I ended up having extremely pleasant sessions with her over the last 3 years. Our conversations go beyond daily communication, where I have the privilege to touch on much wider and intellectual topics with her including arts, cultures, travel, UK schooling system, etc. Her guidance during my son’s 7+ preparation exams was invaluable. I’m grateful to have Katherine not only as a coach but also as a friend, who inspires me to think deeper and express myself stronger.”

Jacqueline, Learner of English as an additional language

“When I was doing 11+, my English fluency was questionable. However Katherine’s sessions were extremely helpful in many ways and it improved my creative writing and reading comprehension more than I could’ve ever imagined. I am very thankful to have had such a lovely tutor, especially during lockdown, where online learning made school very difficult - but she was always there to help!”
