About Me

Hi! I’m Miss Cathy, the founder of this wonderful business and a busy mom of three. My past as a seafarer made me appreciate every moment with my kids as they explore the world.

With 7 years of experience as an ESL teacher, including 2 with a fantastic company, I learned to be resilient. The challenges helped me adapt. After trying home-based customer service, a colleague encouraged me to start private tutoring. What started with one student grew into a lively classroom, and now I’m here to help you succeed in your application process.

Requirements:

- Newbies: You should have a strong drive, a desire for home-based work, and the ability to handle city traffic. - Good communication skills are key—clear speech, proper grammar, fluent English, and basic tech troubleshooting. - This is a freelancing chance where teamwork is important, so come ready to motivate and support each other. - Commitment and reliability are vital, as frequent absences slow us down. - A neutral accent and clear speech are beneficial.

If you're ready to commit, this is your opportunity to succeed! Together, let's embark on this journey where you submit your documents, excel in each class, and pave the way for a bright future! This will be a journey you won’t regret!
