In addition to her many story telling performances and workshops, Cath has a strong teaching background. Cath has taught English and Drama in secondary schools and “oracy” and pre-literacy skills in early years settings. She has taught English as a second language, and run parenting classes. She has also designed and run training courses for teachers.

Cath is accustomed to working with schools and groups to develop performances matching their needs. Her performances include ideas for follow-up work, and copies of the texts for teachers to use afterwards.
