What we can work on
Personalised English for individuals
Tell me your interests and goals and I’ll find the authentic materials for you; books, films, articles, news, TV, sports… lets go!
Business English
Engage your clients, deliver presentations, master “small talk”, use the correct register or tone, write emails, lead meetings as well as work in teams or across cultures. Being able to communicate well is a great confidence booster and you and the people you work with will feel the difference.
Special Projects
I love the challenge of specific pieces of work, from technical manuals to song lyrics, its all exciting and fun to develop these with you.
Business English Exam Preparation
Support and study for Cambridge English BEC, Vantage and Higher certification. Great if you want to have a certification for your business or resume.
Proof Reading of Master Thesis
Proof Reading for documents such as Master Thesis submissions, Proposal Documents and operational manuals. I can do this with or without “know why”, which explains the changes I make.
About Me
After graduating from Liverpool University I developed a career helping people grow and learn in one way or another.
I have worked on projects in the USA and across Europe with a wide range of native and non-native English-speaking companies. This has given me insights about the challenges of communication people are facing every day working in a second or third language.
Coming from a training background with a B.Ed and CELTA qualification I can understand mastering a new skill is difficult, but making the process fun and engaging will certainly help you get the best results.
If you have a second language, it’s like unlocking another world of possibility and adventure. English is actually at one level pretty simple but at another, frustrating as a learner and quite complex at the same time. It’s my passion to get you through this maze in an exciting and engaging way so you can enjoy and use your new skill and be curious to keep finding out about new “bits and bobs” along the way. My B.Ed and CELTA qualifications along with a wealth of travel and business insight will keep the process rolling along for you.
Experienced working in the following business sectors:
Banking and Finance, IT and Software Development, Automotive, Chemical and Pharmaceutical manufacturing, Adventure Racing and Event Management.
CELTA Certificate in Teaching English.

How I work
I both teach and coach clients, so with the English you have as a base, we build using a wide range of materials to meet your goals.
Practically, face to face is ideal but also Zoom, Teams or Skype works depending on situation or preference.
As a personal trainer I’ll schedule my time to fit around yours as well as helping make learning a positive experience for you.
As a client you are the most important person, so your goals and ambition are the drivers for material to motivate you to success.
Interesting Links
For news stories, I use the BBC as it is written in perfect English, but as the BBC would say, other news channels are available!
News and information from Switzerland about Switzerland: direct democracy, education, science, business, living in Switzerland and a lot more
The best of the BBC, with the latest news and sport headlines, weather, TV & radio highlights and much more from across the whole of BBC Online.
Interesting stories from around the world. Short videos with subtitles about a range of topics.
