About Me

Hello! I'm Catherine, a 21‑year‑old English teacher from South Africa. I’m passionate about helping learners gain confidence and fluency in English. I know that language learning can be challenging, but my goal is to make your journey enjoyable and tailored to your pace. My classes are safe spaces where mistakes are simply part of the learning process. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy reading, cooking and immersing myself in nature. Travel is my passion — life is an adventure to be embraced, and I love exploring new cultures and places.

I’m also curious about how the world works. At the moment I’m learning about finance and the stock market; I believe understanding money empowers people. My dream is to teach English around the world, especially in Saudi Arabia, China and other vibrant destinations. I’m excited to share my experiences and grow together with my students!
