Hi there! I am Catherine
Or sometimes Teacher Cat, which is the inspiration behind the name The English Cat.
For over 4 years, I've been coaching professionals and helping English learners advance their Business, Workplace and Professional English, and I really enjoy it.
​
My background is in Marketing, I have real-world experience in the corporate environment and I worked in London for 5 years before I decided I wanted a different pace of life - You may have heard the phrase 'rat race', used by native speakers.. I wanted out of the rat race.
​
Feeling like you could use a boost in confidence? Want to take your professional English skills, vocabulary range, and even your presentations to the next level? You've come to the right place! Get ready to sound more engaging, fluent, and natural than ever before.

I'm glad I chose Catherine. Listening to her is so easy. She's one of the best dialog partner I know. I lost my fear after only a few lessons and now speak fear-free in everyday office life. She gives you a feeling of normality and you forget your fear. I would not have thought that before.

Catherine is one of the greatest and friendliest tutors I've ever met! Not only does she help professionally with language development but Catherine also gives some helpful advice on confidence, which is essential to any second language learner. Thank you! I highly recommend her as a tutor!
