Dr. Kathleen Woodruff
I’m a retired doctor specializing in teaching medical English to healthcare professionals to help them achieve their goals. I’ve practiced medicine for almost 20 years, first as a student at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, then as a resident at Mount Sinai hospital, and lastly in a private OB/GYN practice in Rhode Island. My medical experience allows me to share practical insights about medicine in the US.
I have been teaching English since 2019, earning an ESL teaching certificate and OET knowledge badge. Prior to that I taught medical students and residents as an associate professor at Brown University Medical School. My teaching style centers around conversational English used to talk with patients and peers, understanding medical terminology, and comprehending English idioms and expressions commonly encountered in the healthcare setting.
A solid grasp of English will enhance your career in medicine, open new horizons, and facilitate international interactions. My focus is to provide tailored individual classes designed around real-world scenarios to increase student’s confidence in using English in their professional lives.
