About Kathryn

I have been a dedicated English teacher for 9 years. I am enthusiastic about my subject and believe I have the best job in the world!

I graduated from the University of Glasgow (MA English) and the University of Strathclyde (PGDE Secondary English).

I worked for two years in the central belt of Scotland and have since made my home in Aberdeen, having lived here for seven years.

About the lesson

I am very experienced in teaching all SQA exam levels: National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher.

I am skilled in producing differentiated and engaging materials for all Curriculum for Excellence levels in order to reduce any barriers to success.

All lessons will be tailored to the individual learner, with a plan put in place to ensure appropriate pace and challenge for you.

I take pride in the positive relationships I form with my students while supporting them to take autonomy in their learning.

You can expect homework and feedback on tasks completed outside of lessons included in your fee. I am only ever an email away for questions outside of lessons, too. Please get in touch if you need support with your English work at any level - I would love to help!

Kathryn's response
Liam was able to clearly express where he has difficulties with the Higher course, and he responded thoughtfully to some practice RUAE questions for our introductory lesson. Liam has a positive attitude towards his learning, even when faced with a tricky question that requires careful decoding, and I am looking forward to supporting him with his Higher English. Well done this evening, Liam!

Yahya was able to create a strong critical essay on a key theme over two lessons. Yahya employed his knowledge of the text and essay structure to improve previous paragraphs. Yahya took on all feedback and I am delighted with the model essay he has created. I look forward to our next lesson. Great work!

Erin clearly articulated the areas she needs support with and was very receptive to feedback about her critical essay. We have put structures in place to improve her piece as she prepares for her prelim next week. Well done, Erin!

I can't recommend Kathryn enough. She has made a real difference in my son's confidence and overall performance in English.

Kathryn explains concepts clearly and patiently, and she creates a comfortable space where he feels confident asking questions. We’ve seen noticeable improvement not just in his grades, but in his attitude toward the subject as well.
