Katherine has been vocally trained in contemporary for 25 years and studied classical voice for three years. After developing Muscular Tension Dysphonia in 2010 and not singing for almost two years, she overcame this vocal disorder after working with some of the best voice and voice rehabilitation specialists in the UK. This experience further motivated her interest in teaching the following to her students in contemporary voice* using knowledge and training gained by renowned vocal coaches, ENTs and voice rehabilitation specialists:

- Vocal technique, health and hygiene
- Guidance in voice rehabilitation with students experiencing or recovering from vocal issues
- Managing Performance Anxiety
- Breath control
- Microphone technique and stage performance
- Basic music theory
- Artist development and mentoring

Katherine has over 15 years experience in one-to-one lessons, teaching students aged 4 years old to 50 years old of all levels and has developed programs for small choirs. Please be advised students under the age of 9 years old will be offered 30 min lessons only and will comprise of a combination of music and singing-related games and exercises.

Also offering:
- Live performance workshops

*Contemporary music styles like R&B, soul, neosoul, pop, country. She does not teach classical or jazz.
**Please note, 30 min lessons are only for students aged 10 and under. Adult students will be required to book one-hour lesson times to ensure they get the most out of their lessons and therefore their money's worth. Requests for 30 min lessons from adults will be declined and asked to book a one hour lesson.

Always enjoying languages, I grew up in an international culture and school. I indeed lived 6 years in Italy during my childhood and therefore speak fluent Italian. This made it easier for me to learn English (obtaining Cambridge KET level in 6th grade) and German, which I present all three at the baccalaureate. I also learned Spanish on a personal basis by passion for languages!
Having therefore learned four foreign languages myself, I am passionate about this objective and will take great pleasure in helping you achieve it.

This course is therefore open to everyone, for discovery as well as for further study (up to level C2 in Italian, C1 in English and B2 in German). You can learn to understand, speak, read or write this language and progress at your own pace.

Feel free to contact me for more information !

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 :)

Hello everyone and welcome to my English and or German lessons taught in group. I organise English and German lessons for children and teenagers and separately adult English group lessons (beginners to advanced). For children and teenagers, interactive activities are used as a way to motivate them, help them remember what they have learned in class and make sure they will be able to apply their language skills in real life context.
For the adults lessons, depending on what the students are willing to learn, we can have discussions based on the news, some grammar, writing... I am open to any suggestions, just tell me your needs and I am going to adapt the next lessons for you. If you wish to invite your friends and make a group with them, just let me know and I will allocate you a time slot.

For private English lessons, please have a look at my other advertisements. The German lessons are usually for beginners/ intermediate (exceptionally advanced levels in German can be organised only if there is a high-demand).

Don't hesitate to contact me should you have further questions. It would be a huge pleasure to integrate you in one of my classes. :-) Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

Passionate about learning new languages, I studied German and English during my last three years of higher education. I offer modern language courses (German, English) for people of all ages, both to learn to speak and familiarize themselves with a foreign language, but also in a school setting.

I offer language tutoring and support (Italian, Polish, German, and English) for children and teenagers attending school in Paris. Polish, Italian, and German are my mother tongues: I grew up between Italy and Poland, and I lived and studied in Germany for 10 years. Today, I am a student in Paris and I would like to support young people with their learning or homework.

I understand French, but classes will be held in English or a language I speak fluently (Italian, Polish, German). I adapt to each student's level and pace, in a caring, structured, and motivating atmosphere. Classes can be held at home or online, depending on your preferences.

I help students in school develop languages such as English, German or French.
During the course, we will take the time to carefully reread the lessons until the student understands the meaning themselves, and we will adapt the exercises accordingly.
