Hello! Hola! Bonjour! Privet! Ni hao! Halo! Ola! I'm Kate, linguist, coach of foreign languages and cultures, author of 3 books in English, Spanish and Russian. I'm a TEDx speaker, check out "Language Alter Ego", and public speaking coach. I enjoy training people on a 1-to-1 basis and in groups. I've been training people for over 12 years (but I'm not that old, lol). I've got 2 BAs and 4 MAs, and a couple of executive programmes. I hold my degrees from St Andrews University (Scotland), Bergamo University (Italy), Perpignan University (France), Santiago de Compostela University (Spain), Moscow State Linguistic University (Russia), and Financial Academy of Business Vistula (Poland). In addition, I've won a number of scholarships and been through programmes held by MIT, Harvard, and Stanford. Also, I've lived, studied and worked in China (passed there an exam for Lower Intermediate level of Mandarin), Portugal, Estonia, USA, Malaysia, India, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Singapore, to name a few. I am also a memory athlete and been working on developing programmes to memorise vocabulary in foreign languages. And I'm big on public speaking training in English for foreigners. I've been working a lot with students to prepare for language exams, interviews, important meetings, and speeches. I'd love to help you with your languages, and you can always write to me with your questions. Happy to help you to achieve your dreams!
