Club de lectura de Kate: lectura y escritura creativas #ukteacher

"Nice to meet you!  I am Kate, and I live in York, UK.  I am a qualified Drama and English Teacher of 22 years, having worked in both private and state schools.

During this time I have been the Head of the Drama Department, in two separate schools, and I also set-up and run Performance Arts courses.  I love teaching about how to put a performance together, from design to choreography, and everything else in between.  I am also very passionate about literature, especially scripts, from the likes of the great Oscar Wilde to Anton Chekov.

My teaching ethos is that I like to give each individual learner equal amounts of my attention and expertise, so that the get the maximum benefit from my classes.  I encourage learners to be as imaginative and as creative as they can possibly be.  I use humour as a way of engaging learners, and also as a tool to help them retain their new found knowledge.  I get huge satisfaction from seeing my learners being enthusiastic and inquisitive.

I have just completed my Masters in Screenwriting, focusing my area of study on movie scripts, and I was awarded a first in my final project.  I am teaching literature based classes, as well as writing movie scripts, for the rest of my professional career.

I was born in Singapore, and I have briefly lived in the Netherlands and Malta.  I now live in a wooden lodge with my two large dogs, surrounded by forests and farmland, with only a ten minute drive to York city centre.  I love taking my dogs on long walks, and my hobbies include: dressmaking, up-cycling, yoga, spinning, and completing puzzles.  It is very quiet where I live, so I am able to focus on my work and do lots of writing, in front of my wood burning fire!

Please do not hesitate to contact me, if you require any further information, or if you would like a course booking in at another time, and I will do my upmost to accommodate you.  Thank you."
