Improve your English and business English speaking, writing and presenting

Hello! I am a native English professional, born and raised in the South-East of England. I specialise in teaching professionals correct 'Queen's English' pronunciation and spelling to improve business writing and speaking skills.

I currently work in Zurich in financial services and have spent the last 9 years working in investor relations, corporate communications and the private investment universe, at management level, in London and Switzerland. I have the skills and extensive experience to teach you how to present yourself in a professional and eloquent manner and write perfect emails, marketing materials, communications, academic pieces and resumes.

I can also offer these services to younger students who do not necessarily need business skills but need a hand in learning English overall, for example reading out loud and learning correct grammar.

I am very patient, friendly and able to tailor my services to your individual needs - I can be as flexible as needed to help you reach your goals.

About Me

Hello!

I'm a 31 year old female professional, currently living and working in Zurich. I was born and raised in South East England, moving to London in my twenties and then on to Zurich in 2018.

I have spent my entire career in financial services, initially working in investor relations with public companies before moving into the private investment/ asset management sector. I have been working with corporate and marketing communication in both areas of work and have a real passion for writing and presenting. I have always had excellent grammar and speaking skills and would love to help others in realising their potential with the English language.

I have also mentored and supported students through work placements with me and my teams, as well as supporting them in taking the first step in their career thereafter - I have written more resumes, cover letters, university reference letters and CVs than I care to count!

I am friendly and personable so please do not hesitate to get in touch, Kayte
