About Catriona
My name is Cat and I am from the UK. I have a degree in humanities (media, psychology, French and EFL.) I am Cambridge CELTA certified and have been teaching English for 25 years.
I also work as a tour guide in Europe and South America. I have my own tour agency in Argentina, where I currently live. I have travelled extensively in 5 continents and I speak French and Spanish to a high level. I also speak some Italian, German and Japanese. I offer translations to English from Spanish and French.
Although I was born in the UK, and apart from the travelling, I have spent time living in Japan, Thailand, France, Greece, Peru, Argentina, The Gambia, and Mauritania.
I enjoy meeting people from all over the world and am interested in what I can learn from them. Learning is a two-way street, every experience, every encounter teaches us something. I have great friends from far and wide, people who come from cultures very different to my own, but with whom I have connected in some way.
I love teaching English and studying languages. I am very interested in the differences and similarities between languages which can influence the way that a person thinks. Using Spanish daily, it fascinates me how sometimes there is no direct translation, and how we have to settle for the closest meaning. Learning a language expands our minds.

Classes are tailored to the needs of the student. We will work on the 4 skills. Beginner and elementary students will have structured lessons to help them acheive specific goals and advance quickly, with a focus on fluency and communication. At high levels, we will look at the common mistakes that you make with a view to correcting them. In conversation classes, we look to help you speak naturally.
Instead of translating from your native tongue, look to find the rhythm of English. Learn to think in English. Relax. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Understand how the language works. Then you will really start to speak like a native.
Help with exam preparation and English for work.

Catriona is an excellent English teacher. She helped me improve my English skills, which allowed me to advance in my career and start a new international chapter. Thanks to her continuous support and valuable feedback, I truly recommend Catriona.
I’ve been taking English classes with Cat for a little over a year, and I’ve noticed a great improvement in my speaking and confidence. Before that, I often felt blocked when trying to speak English. But since I started studying with her, everything has become easier and more enjoyable.
Her classes are light, dynamic, and truly engaging. She teaches with clarity, patience, and deep knowledge of the language. That’s why I truly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn English in an effective and enjoyable way, with a teacher who really knows how to guide your learning process.Catriona es una grandísima profesora, con ella estoy aprendiendo muchísimo. Nos estamos centrando en clases de gramática y mis avances en la materia están siendo muy importantes.
