Über mich

Hello,

I'm a native English speaker from Johannesburg, South Africa, with 5 years of online teaching experience. I work with students from around the world, including Russian learners and professionals based around the world. I have also taught Angolan engineering students in the Oil and Gas industry in Angola.

Alongside my teaching, I have 8 years of experience in Creative Arts and Art Installation, which is one of my greatest passions.

I hold a Bachelor of Technology in Journalism, with a focus on English, Creative Writing, Photojournalism, and Broadcasting, and I’m TEFL qualified. I’m currently working towards completing my TEFL Level 5 Certification with Trinity College London.

In my classes, we’ll focus on comprehension, vocabulary, and key language elements like phrasal verbs, idioms, figures of speech, and tone to improve your fluency. Whether you're a school learner, engineer, procurement buyer, doctor or working in any industry, I tailor lessons to fit your career and goals. I can also help you prepare for exams like IELTS and CELTA.

When I'm not teaching, I'm passionate about Malenoir dogs, art, writing, gardening, and community building in Johannesburg.

If you're ready to improve your English and have fun doing it, click on my profile and let’s get started! See you in class!

*All classes are one-on-one and tailored to the individual student's needs and requirements. The ultimate goal is that the student thinks in the language not just translates.

*All key aspects of the language will be addressed including cultural aspects/linguistic differences.

* Whether learning a language to improve your career, for travel or even romantic reasons, help is at hand - just reach out.

SOME REVIEWS:
Chevaan:
Catherina is without a doubt THE best tutor we know. She is exceptionally committed and is always looking to inspire her students. She has consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty to help our son with his German. She provides excellent study material, engaging homework and follows up to ensure that her students have really grasped the subject matter.

Brian:
Catharina has been teaching our 11-year-old daughter for the past few months, and we are very impressed with her excellent progress in this short space of time.
Catharina has developed a very good rapport with our daughter and is patient and knowledgeable. Our daughter always looks forward to her next lesson and even hands in her homework on time! We would highly recommend Catharina to anyone who would like to learn a new language.

Afeisha:
Very professional, friendly and informative. I feel like Catharina will help me to reach where I need to. She doesn't just teach from the book, she teaches in a way that will allow you to blend in with ease. I am excited to learn more from her.

Egle:
Great tutor! Catharina adapts lessons to one's needs, gives very clear explanations and most importantly works on the pronunciation of the language. With every lesson she provides lesson material.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Each lesson is fully personalized to your level, goals, and specific needs (exams, immigration, work, studies, administrative procedures).

Sessions can focus on:
- DELF, DALF, and TCF exam preparation (practice tests, methodology, assessment criteria, oral and written simulations)
- French for immigration and naturalization
- Administrative French (forms, letters, understanding official documents)
-Professional and business French (emails, meetings, interviews, industry-specific vocabulary)
-Improving speaking skills, pronunciation, and fluency
-Strengthening grammar and vocabulary in context

The lessons are dynamic, structured, and interactive, with a strong emphasis on speaking practice. I use authentic materials: exam topics, administrative documents, articles, videos, and professional dialogues.

Thanks to my experience as an oral exam jury member and as a DELF, DALF, and TCF examiner, I will help you understand exactly what examiners expect and adopt the right strategies to succeed.

Regular follow-up is provided, with clear objectives and detailed feedback to track your progress and build confidence.

• Obtain the DELE diploma at any level.

I am a Translator-Interpreter and have worked in marketing for an American Petroleum Company for 25 years.
My knowledge of languages was very crucial. After my husband's premature death I did replacements but after a while I started giving private language lessons. I spoke French until I was six.

A graduate in Germanic languages, I have been a secondary school English/German teacher since 2021 and a private tutor since 2017. I also coordinate language camps and ONE centers and offer private English lessons. Whether you need academic support, want to meet professional challenges, are starting English from scratch, are looking to improve your skills, focus on grammar, speaking, or have other goals, I am available.

I offer lessons, but my main goal is to empower you to learn English, and languages in general, independently. I don't aim for the level of excellence you think you're currently in, but rather the level of excellence you allow yourself to achieve. My ultimate goal: that you no longer need me.

Each lesson is prepared in advance. I never arrive empty-handed.
