Tutor BIO

Hello! I’m Kathleen/"Kasha", a certified ESL tutor from Canada with a specialization in IELTS preparation. With many years of experience, I’ve helped both adults and children improve their English, succeed in exams, and feel more confident in their communication. My approach is structured and tailored to each student’s needs, so whether you’re preparing for an important exam or want to sharpen your conversational skills, we’ll work together to create a clear, step-by-step plan to achieve your goals.

In addition to language learning, I offer a unique blend of coaching and healing support. Our classes can also be a space where you explore emotional or spiritual challenges, and I’m here to help you navigate your next steps on your personal journey. I’ve been holding space for others in this capacity for many years, and I have a compassionate and holistic approach to language learning and personal growth.

I’m passionate about language learning, spirituality, yoga, animals, traveling, and vegetarian/vegan cooking. I also speak basic European Portuguese, Spanish, and have some knowledge of German and French, so if you’re a beginner in English and speak any of these languages, we can work together to communicate more easily.

I look forward to helping you express yourself more fully in English while supporting you in your personal development!

I have over 10 years of experience teaching English online to students of all ages, levels, and backgrounds. My approach is highly adaptable, with resources tailored to each student’s unique needs. As a certified IELTS exam prep tutor, I’ve helped students achieve higher scores, and I’m also experienced in preparing learners for the TOEFL and CELPIP exams.

I welcome students at all levels—beginner, intermediate, or advanced—so don’t hesitate to reach out, no matter your starting point!

In addition to language teaching, I bring 7+ years of experience in holding space for emotional and spiritual healing or coaching sessions. I continue to do my own inner work and provide deep, transformative support to those navigating life changes and transitions. Together, we can explore both your language learning goals and any personal growth challenges you may be experiencing.

We can work on exam preparation, build your English skills for work, school, or daily life, or focus on improving your conversational abilities. I’m here to support your specific needs and goals, and I’d love to meet with you for a trial lesson to discuss them in more detail.

I also enjoy working with children, so if you’re looking for lessons for your child, I welcome you to reach out and we can schedule a fun and engaging trial class together.

Additionally, if you’re interested in emotional or spiritual healing and coaching, I’m available for that as well. Our trial session can focus on exploring this process, based on what resonates most with you.
