Classroom projects, in-person, for primary and lower secondary schools
Do you want your learners to speak more English?
The secret isn’t memorising more grammar and vocabulary; it’s feeling safe and motivated to take part. In my experience, that comes with learning which is inclusive, interactive, task-based and authentic - the kind of learning we can bring to your classroom with a project.
My approach is based on three principles:
Respect. Learners have a say in their learning, make decisions and are made to feel emotionally safe and included.
Responsibility. Working in groups, supporting peers and collaborating.
Real-life tasks. Developing 21st-century skills while using English.
All of my projects follow these principles, using CLIL and learner-centred methods to help learners speak English with confidence.

“I have changed the way I work with my students.
I paid close attention to what Catherine did, how she did it, and how much the children enjoyed it.
I rolled up my sleeves and significantly adjusted the way I teach English.”
