Catherine Servando

I am a qualified English teacher with seven years of experience teaching young learners, teenagers, university students, and adults from Japan, Korea, Spain, and other international backgrounds. Teaching is my passion, and I genuinely love working with children — their curiosity, energy, and creativity inspire me to design lessons that are fun, engaging, and confidence-building.

My classes follow a communicative, learner-centred methodology. This means students speak from the very first minute, learn through real-life situations, and receive clear, personalised correction that helps them improve naturally and quickly. I focus on practical English that students can use immediately: everyday conversation, academic skills, professional communication, and exam strategies. Every lesson includes guided speaking practice, vocabulary expansion, pronunciation support, and structured activities adapted to each learner’s level and goals.

For exam preparation (IELTS, TOEFL, ELA), I provide model answers, step-by-step techniques, and targeted training to strengthen reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Many of my students have successfully passed their exams and achieved the scores they needed for university admission or professional advancement.

I completed the Trinity CertTESOL with Merit and was later hired by the CEO of EBC as Sales Manager for Outreach and Partnerships, a role that strengthened my academic coordination, communication, and organisational skills.

My classes are dynamic, supportive, and results-oriented. Whether you are a beginner, preparing for an exam, or simply want to improve your fluency, I will help you progress with clarity, motivation, and confidence.
