Cate is an excellent teacher for adults: patient, unpatronising, lively and witty. I have been having Spanish lessons with her for a few months and have made remarkable progress considering I started from scratch. The material she provides and way we are progressing is just right for an adult learner who comes at the learning in fits and bursts. As well as being erudite and a born linguist, Cate has a talent for meeting your needs with understanding and teaching pragmatic day-to-day constructions rather than school-book language. I'd wholeheartedly recommend her if you are an adult wishing to pick up or polish your French or Spanish. We also laugh a lot!

I am thrilled to share my positive experience with my son's Spanish teacher, Cate Taylor. Over the past few months, my son has been taking online classes with her, and his performance has consistently improved under her guidance. Cate's patience is commendable. She takes the time to ensure that my son understands each concept before moving forward. This approach instills confidence in my son, allowing him to ask questions and seek clarification without hesitation, and her personalized attention has undoubtedly contributed to his progress and overall enjoyment of the lessons. I highly recommend Cate!

Cate has been fantastic with my daughter. Following on from Covid, she was very behind and not working at ARE in both Maths and English, she was working towards. A year later, she is now working AT ARE & is at the same level as the rest of her class. Not only that but she has gained so much confidence & isn't always looking for help without trying first. Her reading and writing has improved dramatically. My daughter has loved Cate's soft & gentle approach and has always felt so cared for & looked after at Cate's sessions. Highly recommended 👌

Cate is absolutely fantastically. She has taken the time to get to know my son, and everything about his education. She has tutored him online which is so easy and has been really successful for us. He has definitely made improvements in the time he has been attending sessions. I would thoroughly recommend Cate to anyone.

My daughter currently has tutoring with Cate for English in preparation for her GCSE examinations. My daughter has really enjoyed these sessions from the start, and looks forward to them! Cate has been reassuring and given my daughter confidence. The sessions are creative and have been very helpful and inspiring, whether in person or on Zoom. I am very grateful to have found Cate and would highly recommend.
