Hi, my name is Katherine. I am a native English speaker from Perth, Western Australia. I am a musician, singer and vocal coach, and have a degree in Mass Communications (Public Relations and Journalism).
I have been teaching singing for 17 years and also have extensive professional corporate experience, spanning over 11 years, working for companies such as Microsoft, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and was the personal assistant to John Butler (John Butler Trio) and Danielle Caruana (Mama Kin) for 5.5 years.
Because I bring specialist vocal health & performance training as well as high level communication & corporate experience, you’re getting more than just a language lesson.
What You Get in Each Lesson (1 hour)
- Personalised learning plan (tailored to your goals: conversation, business, exam prep, writing, or pronunciation)
- Speaking & Confidence Coaching: Improve fluency, pronunciation, and clarity, using vocal training methods from 17+ years of performance coaching
- Listening & Comprehension: Real-life dialogues, media, and business English contexts
- Vocabulary & Grammar in Context: Practical, immediately usable English (not just textbook drills)
- Professional Communication: Email writing, presentations, negotiations (leveraging corporate experience at Microsoft & BCG)
- Cultural & Social English: Idioms, tone, and natural flow, to help you sound confident and authentic
- Feedback & Follow-Up: Written notes, corrections, and personalised exercises after each session
I welcome students of all levels so if you would like to improve your English, please contact me.
Thank you in advance,
Katherine
