About Me

I am a native British English speaker and bring my experience and love of teaching English to motivated students and adults of all ages and abilities in Geneva. I have been an English language teacher to learners from all over the world and from all backgrounds, ages and abilities for 7 years both in the UK and abroad.

As a native speaker I can provide a deeper level of knowledge and application of English than many second language speakers, especially for phrasing and pronunciation work. Whether you are a complete beginner or an intermediate or advanced English speaker who is looking to improve or perfect your English skills for yourself, your studies, your job or your business, I can help you.

I will work to create classes based on your individual needs, learning style and existing abilities and provide lots of opportunities for learning and practice through speaking, writing, listening and reading. My experience and some of the latest studies and theories for learning a second language have shown, that making the content of lessons fun, relaxing, engaging and meaningful to learner's life and experience, makes for the most effective and memorable lessons. However, any materials or books you want to work on together for study, work or any other reason will also prove a valuable resource.

It's difficult, but it can be a lot of fun and very rewarding to learn a second language (as I am discovering with French!) so I do look forward to hearing from you and gettin' you going on better English.

I teach students, as well as adults who want to improve their English for professional reasons.
My experience over the past 10 years has allowed me to develop a simple and effective method that adapts to the needs of the student, taking into account their interests. This way, the student becomes seriously involved and progresses quickly.
My native ear allows me to have a real impact on the pronunciation and accent of the student, without ever neglecting the importance of learning to write. In addition, my experience as a translator allows me to teach the different nuances of the language in the most efficient way possible.
