Catherine Gallagher

Hi, I’m Catherine, a native, CELTA-qualified English language teacher. I’m patient and approachable, and I aim to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel comfortable while you improve your English.
My lessons are tailored to your individual needs, whether you want to focus mainly on conversation or develop all language skills, including listening, reading, writing, and grammar. I work with learners of different levels and backgrounds, and I always adapt my teaching style to suit your goals, interests, and learning pace. Whether you want to build confidence for everyday communication, improve pronunciation, or use English more accurately and fluently, I am here to support you. I can help prepare for IELTS, cambridge B1, B2, or C1, APTIS and other exams.
I believe learning should be enjoyable as well as effective, so I make classes fun and engaging by using interactive grammar games on platforms such as Kahoot and Wordwall, as well as real-life topics and authentic materials. I encourage plenty of speaking practice and provide clear, constructive feedback to correct and upgrade your work and help you progress.
I also have two working dogs who occasionally like to lurk in the background and say hello
