About Me

Hi! My name's Kirsty and I'm an Australian teacher currently living in Lausanne, Switzerland. I've spent the past few years living abroad and teaching, because travel is something I love to do! Other things I love are yoga, (I'm also a qualified yoga teacher), the beach and (attempting to) dance salsa.

Education

I have a Bachelor of Design from Griffith University QCA in Australia, and I worked in design and marketing before completing and gaining my TESOL qualification to become a teacher.

Experience / Qualifications

I have been teaching English for over three years and in that time I've taught almost every age range from 6-60+, every level from Beginner to Advanced, in every topic including general English, business English and exam preparation. I love meeting new people and I truly believe language is the key to experiencing different cultures and creating opportunity, so teaching allows me to combine these passions.

English in Secondary I/II is often the time when students must move from basic vocabulary to a true mastery of grammar and expression. It is also the time when some begin to fall behind, due to a lack of regular practice outside of school.
I offer private English lessons for Secondary I students, level A2 to B1. We work on grammar (verb tenses, structures, prepositions), thematic vocabulary, written expression (compositions, emails) and oral expression (conversation, pronunciation, listening comprehension).
I have a B2 level in English and I use it regularly. Lessons can be structured around the student's textbook, or take the form of freer conversation practice for students who need to gain fluency.
My approach is practical: fewer rules to memorize, more real-life situations. Language is learned by practicing it, and it's through making mistakes that we progress. I adapt to each student's level and pace.

For children, the lessons are fun and interactive, with activities adapted to their age to make learning motivating and effective.

For adults, courses are fully customized to their needs: conversation, English for travel, academic or university support, exam preparation, professional English or general improvement.

My goal is to create a caring and motivating environment where each student can progress at their own pace and gain fluency in using English on a daily basis.
