Hi, my name is Katherine. I am a native English speaker from Perth, Western Australia. I am a musician, singer and vocal coach, and have a degree in Mass Communications (Public Relations and Journalism).

I have been teaching singing for 17 years and also have extensive professional corporate experience, spanning over 11 years, working for companies such as Microsoft, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and was the personal assistant to John Butler (John Butler Trio) and Danielle Caruana (Mama Kin) for 5.5 years.

Because I bring specialist vocal health & performance training as well as high level communication & corporate experience, you’re getting more than just a language lesson.

What You Get in Each Lesson (1 hour)
- Personalised learning plan (tailored to your goals: conversation, business, exam prep, writing, or pronunciation)
- Speaking & Confidence Coaching: Improve fluency, pronunciation, and clarity, using vocal training methods from 17+ years of performance coaching
- Listening & Comprehension: Real-life dialogues, media, and business English contexts
- Vocabulary & Grammar in Context: Practical, immediately usable English (not just textbook drills)
- Professional Communication: Email writing, presentations, negotiations (leveraging corporate experience at Microsoft & BCG)
- Cultural & Social English: Idioms, tone, and natural flow, to help you sound confident and authentic
- Feedback & Follow-Up: Written notes, corrections, and personalised exercises after each session

I welcome students of all levels so if you would like to improve your English, please contact me.

Thank you in advance,
Katherine

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.

- Vocal technique, health and hygiene
- Guidance in voice rehabilitation with students experiencing or recovering from vocal issues
- Managing Performance Anxiety
- Breath control

Marcella
Hello there! My name is Marcella, born and raised in the Netherlands and fond of travelling all around the globe. Today I own a travel website and write for some magazines. To make a bit more cash and to keep up with my former life as a teacher, I teach some extra classes to teenagers and adults alike. I am a qualified teacher of the English language with a specialisation in working with teenagers who are challenged by ADHD, Autism, ADD and PDDNOS. After working as an English teacher and mentor in different types of schools in the Netherlands, Belgium and South Africa I am currently living in Paris and very motivated to help students improve their English in different ways.

I used to successfully run a homework institution before leaving the Netherlands where I helped teenagers focus, plan, learn and reflect on their own process. I am willing to teach broader than English only and help teenagers plan, find motivation back and get back on track in case the need is there. Having taken a fair amount of courses in psychology and after years of experience with demotivated teenagers I can help you find your motivation back and set refreshing goals.

I am ver flexible in switching from grammar lessons, to conversational English, to analysing texts and essay writing and can teach pretty much on demand.

My lessons will be fun, open-minded, with interesting topics. So whether you have a teenager at home who needs some motivation, are a business person who wants to be more confident in speaking English, or polish up your grammar or overall English before travelling to an English-speaking country, you can count on me!

(Besides being fluent in English I speak a basic French, German, Swedish and Dutch as my mother tongue).
