About Me

I am a huge fan of on-line language learning – I have been learning online myself for about seven years now and I absolutely recommend it to for learning a new language. I really enjoy meeting new people enjoy and the stimulating exchange of ideas that interaction with my students brings. And, of course, having lived in so many different places I have also been a language student once or twice myself! So I understand from personal experience how much commitment and time it takes and I bring this understanding to my teaching. As a teacher, I am patient and encouraging and know that frequent repetition and making mistakes are all part of the learning process.

A little bit about me: I originally come from Australia and I have travelled and lived all over the world, in England, Turkey, Hong Kong and – most recently – beautiful Switzerland. I am a native English speaker and qualified English as a Second Language teacher for Secondary School and I have extensive experience teaching English to students from across a range of ages, educational and cultural backgrounds, including at a number of schools and tertiary institutions in Australia and also in England. I also have experience developing and delivering course content, conducting tutorials and marking exams and assessment materials.

One of the biggest advantages of learning online is that it is so flexible and convenient. If you don't see a class time which is currently suitable for you, please send me a message and I'll do my best to work something out for you. Likewise, be sure to send me a quick message me before you book, so that I can send you a voucher for a free trial lesson.
