About me
Hello! I'm a retired doctor specializing in teaching Medical English to healthcare professionals seeking employment in the US, UK and other English-speaking countries.
I taught medical students and residents as an Associate Professor at Brown University Medical School.
My specialty is teaching medical English to doctors, nurses, residents, medical students and nursing students. For the last 4 years I have taught OET preparation, NCLEX preparation, and healthcare related communication.
In addition to an MD, I hold certifications in TESL and OET preparation.
As a medical professional, I have years of clinical experience working with doctors, nurses, and patients. I can teach you the English you will actually use in these professional settings.
Don't let lack of English stand in the way of your career goals!

I wanted to share my positive experience with Kathleen. She is an excellent teacher—always friendly and patient, and she consistently offers valuable insights during our discussions. I've been practicing with her for my upcoming fellowship interview, and her guidance on the most important questions I'll face has been extremely helpful.Monika
