About Katie
About me:
Please note: At the moment, I am only offering English lessons, as my French and Spanish classes are fully booked. This allows me to give my full attention and dedication to my English students. If you are interested in French or Spanish in the future, I’d be happy to add you to a waiting list and contact you when spaces become available.
Hello everyone.
My name is Katie and I am a fully qualified native English speaker from Ireland. I hold a first class honours degree in Modern Languages (English, French, Spanish and Italian).
I am a licensed ESL teacher. I have completed CELTA and TEFL courses to teach English as a Foreign Language and I have experience teaching different levels and types of English (General English, Business English, English for Young Learners and Technical Writing) to students. I have taught ESOL, FCE, PET and IELTS from beginners to advanced level with exam specific classes also.
My working experience consists of teaching English (both online and face to face) for around 3 years to adults, teenagers and children. I have taught students between the ages of 3 to 75.
I enjoy teaching because I love learning about different cultures, languages, and countries! I love sharing my knowledge of languages and watching my students achieve their goals. My lessons focus on: Relevant Vocabulary, Reading, Speaking, Listening, Grammar topics etc. However, my classes are tailored to individuals goals, levels, purpose, needs and specific exam preparation etc. Lesson materials are all provided. All lessons are taught with an emphasis on communication and speaking.
My English classes are dynamic, interesting, and accessible to students of all levels and learning styles. I am a dedicated tutor looking to help you succeed. I offer a free online meeting/ introductory lesson to assess your level and to meet you before committing to lessons. Please message me to discuss further. Look forward to meeting you for your online English class soon !
Thank you.
I first started teaching while studying for my degree in Modern Languages. I began by offering private lessons and exam preparation support to students in French and Spanish. This grew into professional experience teaching English both online and in schools, and since 2019 I’ve built my own language teaching business, Modern Languages with Katie.
I hold a First Class Honours BA in Modern Languages (English, French, Spanish, Italian) from University College Cork in Ireland and I am a licensed ESL teacher. I have completed a CELTA, a Level 5 TEFL Diploma, and additional specialist courses in Business English, Young Learners, and Online Teaching. My professional experience includes teaching English, French, and Spanish to students of all ages and levels, both online and in classrooms.

When I start working with a new student, I begin with a free introductory session of 25 minutes. This allows me to assess their level, understand their goals, and discuss their preferred learning style. From there, I design a personalised lesson plan that focuses on their objectives - whether it’s exam preparation, business English, conversational practice, or improving general fluency. Each lesson builds on their progress, with plenty of feedback and practical exercises to ensure steady improvement.
I’ve worked with a wide range of students - from children as young as 3, to teenagers preparing for Junior Cycle, Leaving Cert, FCE, PET, and IELTS, to adults learning English for professional or personal reasons. My students come from many different countries and backgrounds, which makes every teaching experience unique and rewarding.
I’d advise students to look for a teacher who adapts lessons to your needs and goals, not just one who follows a textbook. The right teacher should provide a mix of structure, communication practice, and cultural insights. Also, it’s important to feel comfortable speaking with your teacher - language learning thrives in a positive, supportive environment.
Last summer, I worked as an English Language Teacher and Activity Leader at a summer school in Ireland. I taught international teenagers, integrating language learning with creative workshops and cultural activities. It was inspiring to see students not only improve their English but also grow in confidence, make new friends, and enjoy Irish culture.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Students should reflect on:
What are my main goals (exam, fluency, business, travel, conversation)?
How much time per week can I commit to lessons and practice?
What skills do I want to improve most (speaking, listening, writing, grammar)?
Do I prefer structured lessons, conversation-based learning, or a mix?
Having these answers helps ensure lessons are effective, efficient, and tailored to you.

Learning English with Katie the past 2 years has been a truly amazing experience. From the very first lesson, she made me feel comfortable and confident. Her classes are so fun!
Katie is patient, professional, and genuinely passionate about teaching. She always explains things clearly and gives helpful feedback that has improved my fluency and pronunciation.
I've seen a huge improvement in my English skills - I feel more confident at work and in everyday conversations. I would highly recommend Katie to anyone who wants to make real progress in English while enjoying the process!Katie is a wonderful English teacher! J’ai beaucoup progressé en anglais. J’aime beaucoup sa façon d’enseigner. Elle s’adapte et donne des précieux conseils. Je recommande 100%. I have improved so much in English since starting classes with Katie a few months ago.
Parfait ! Belle énergie, discussions intéressantes, cours bien organisés, je recommande Katie pour progresser en Anglais ;) Thank you for helping me improve my English!
Katie is an excellent French teacher and she is very professional. She is super charismatic, patient and enthusiastic about French language and culture. Her classes are very enjoyable and interesting. I am progressing a lot. Merci Katie!
Katie is a really nice and patient person. As she is a half native speaker in French and grew up speaking French she can help you out with your pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary in a way that you couldn’t get from a non-native. She helped me a lot and I would recommend her to everyone who wants to improve their French!
After much research looking for a tutor for my daughter who needed extra lessons on Spanish for her final exam, I was so lucky to find Katie. She is a lovely person and helped my daughter achieve an honour in Spanish. I am beyond grateful to Katie for all her help with my daughter and would give the highest recommendations to anyone looking to learn Spanish and especially for kids and teenagers.
Katie is very easy to get on with, very professional and has a great passion for the French language. Her teaching style is unique. You come away from the lessons feeling great and she is good for motivating and encouraging . I would highly recommend Katie as a tutor for any student looking to improve their French.
Katie is a brilliant English teacher. Mi ha insegnato perfettamente la lingua inglese e la sua grammatica. Mi è piaciuta moltissimo per il suo modo di spiegare, in grado di mescolare curiosità e divertimento.
La consiglierei a chiunque, è speciale!
I'm loving learning Spanish with Katie. Great profesora!
Katie helped me a lot with my English. She always tailored lessons around my aims and gave me notes after our classes to help me do well in my studies and prepare better for the exams at my school. Katie helped me to gain confidence in English so that I can use the language better. Katie tailored the lessons to me which was a big change from the boring language classes I am used to where the teacher covers things I won’t use or doesn’t show you how to use the language properly. Katie brings the material to life and provides you with tools to help you use your language in an experience based way. I especially recommend Katie if you are a French speaker wanting to learn English as Katie can explain through French also which helped me so much! Merci Katie :)
I took 20 French lessons with Katie- mostly concentrating on spoken French. I found that Katie was an excellent tutor, very helpful and kind. Even though my spoken French was really weak and it would take me ages to say basic sentences, she was always so patient and gave corrections in a really nice, positive way. I would highly recommend Katie as a tutor.
