Catherine Ricketts

My lessons are interactive, personalised, and focused on helping you achieve your specific English language goals, whether that’s preparing for exams, improving everyday communication, or building confidence in speaking, reading, and writing. With over five years of experience tutoring English, I bring a supportive and flexible teaching style that adapts to each student’s unique needs.

Before we begin, I take the time to understand your strengths, challenges, and preferred learning style. From there, I tailor each lesson to suit you, whether that means focusing on grammar, expanding your vocabulary, improving pronunciation, or developing fluency through real-life conversation. My sessions often include a blend of discussion-based learning, targeted exercises, and authentic materials such as articles, videos, or role-plays to make lessons both practical and engaging.

Above all, I strive to create a positive, supportive learning environment where you feel confident to be yourself—comfortable making mistakes and asking questions. My aim is not only to help you improve your English skills, but also to build your confidence, spark your curiosity, and make the learning journey enjoyable and rewarding. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.
