Student's thoughts.........
"Cathy was my English teacher when I was in grade 11 and 12 (nine years ago). My English was very bad at the time and I did not enjoy writing essays or studying meaningless fiction. As with most young people, I'd rather play video games than read Shakespeare. In one of the sessions with Cathy, she encouraged me to start reading something that I liked instead of forcing myself to read school material which seemed to have no value. Gradually, I began browsing on the web to read all the latest news and reviews of videogames.
My English gradually improved and after that I started to pick up other interesting topics including psychology, business management s and self help books along with all kinds of other reading materials.
The conclusion was that Cathy gradually changed my attitudes about English from avoiding textbooks to reading the stuff that I liked.
Today, I am a Property Professional, and I specialize in property finance and development.
Cathy's lessons will definitely improve your English skills. However, Cathy's lessons are much more than that as her life lessons and friendship are truly precious and they last for a lifetime.
