Kate Donnelly has been working in Athens as a teacher, translator and editor for many years. In 2011, she obtained the Cambridge English Level 7 Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (DELTA) and has spent the summers of each year since then as a tutor in English for Academic Purposes at British Universities.

This role includes planning and designing course content and materials for overseas students (undergraduate and post-graduate) about to embark on their academic careers in the UK. The focus is on developing academic reading, writing and presentation skills, conducting effective research, and managing self-study and autonomous learning practices.

At CYA, she offers academic skills support through workshops and individual or group sessions with students both in person and online.
