Hello, my name is Cathy! I was born and raised in California before moving to Idaho over 20 years ago. I currently teach in-person and online classes. I specialize in teaching English to children, and I absolutely LOVE our classes. You can see more about my methods by clicking here.

I also have many older students who appreciate my friendly and relaxed teaching style. There is no need for you to be nervous with me! I will help you gain the confidence you need in order to speak English with complete strangers. I am accepting of your individual pace of learning, but I will also motivate you to reach your goals.

I have been teaching professionally since 2015, and from 2016-2017, I lived abroad and worked as an English instructor in the Czech Republic. I currently live in Boise, Idaho, USA.

I must be Noah. ;-) In addition to the TEFL, my educational background includes a Bachelor's degree in Anthropology and a Master's degree in Educational Administration. My work background has been in the business world, primarily dealing with freight transportation and logistics.

I currently live in the U.S., but I have also lived in Iceland (2004) and the Czech Republic (2015-2018). I enjoy meeting new people and experiencing new cultures, and I have visited 12 different countries. Speaking with people who want to improve their English is one of my favorite things to do.

My main goal when teaching English is to make the lesson relevant to you! At our initial meeting, we will discuss what matters to you and what you actually want to learn. I don't want to get paid for teaching something that is boring. The lessons should be worthwhile for both of us. I have a great sense of humor and want you to be comfortable with my lessons!

**I do not accept students younger than 14 years old, but Cathy is a great teacher for them!**
