Hello, I’m Katelyn, your dedicated English teacher! Originally from Texas, USA, I spent 25 years there before embarking on an international journey that took me to South Korea for five years as an English teacher. Now, I reside in Berlin, Germany, where I work as a freelance English and art teacher with a legal work visa.
My teaching philosophy is centered on making learning engaging and enjoyable. I tailor each lesson to suit your specific needs, whether you’re preparing for an exam, improving your conversational skills, or exploring creative art lessons in English.
I live in Charlottenburg, Berlin, with my Korean husband, and I’m excited to share my love for language and learning with you.
