About Me
I have helped numerous people improve their spoken English and this has been mainly for professional reasons and sometimes social reasons. I don't have a fixed method, rather relying on the intended occasion to dictate what we learn and talk about. This might be too relaxed for a structured student but works well with business people and those who mix in social and work circles where good English would be advantageous.

English Language Classes. Native English Teacher from New ZealandI am a highly experienced native English Language teacher from New Zealand. I have taught English for four years to adults of all levels. My specialty is conversational English for spoken-fluency, exam preparation, and English for professional presentations.
I am now seeking new individuals or groups for communicative and interactive English Lessons in the Basel or Zurich area. My recommendation is a weekly schedule of two 1.5 hour classes for fast improvement. I am available to meet for private or group classes in home, workplace, university or a café.
My lessons are very engaging, the material I offer is interesting and current. Lessons will be taught in English full-immersion style. I am also fluent in German and Spanish which gives me a strong understanding of common pronunciation and grammar faults. (I have many tips on how to improve these quickly!)
My previous professional experience include working for the Spanish Military in Madrid as well as the national railway company of Spain. I am an architect by training, so I am very knowledgeable of design vocabulary and expression.
I look forward to working together with your English language skills.

After completing my certification, I took several private teaching courses to improve my skills—and now I’m excited to use those tools to help you succeed in your English journey.
Whether you're looking to gain confidence when speaking, learn to think in English, or simply improve your skills, I’ve got you covered. I work with students of all ages and backgrounds—from complete beginners to more advanced learners.
For children, I offer progressive, age-appropriate vocabulary and grammar lessons, designed to be fun and effective. I currently teach students as young as five years old and understand how to keep young minds engaged. (Did you know the best time to learn a second language is before age 10?) But don’t worry—it’s never too late! I personally learned Spanish at 30, and I believe anyone can succeed with the right support.
For adults, I use a variety of helpful tools and resources to make lessons both engaging and practical. Whether you're focused on conversation, grammar, or vocabulary, lessons are always tailored to fit your needs—and we can even use your own materials if you’d like.
I’ve had the pleasure of teaching students from China, Korea, Spain, France, Turkey, Croatia, Saudi Arabia, and many other countries. No matter where you're from or what your goals are, I’m here to help.
Let’s give it a try—you just might reach your goal in 3 months!
