ABOUT
ME
Passionate About Inspiring Others
I am a well-balanced, confident, enthusiastic English teacher, who is willing to go the extra mile for my students.
Born and educated in South Africa, mother-tongue English, I came to Switzerland at the age of 20 and have worked in the IT branch for many years; including a few years in Australia and South Africa.
​
In 2015, I got tired of my job in the IT industry and did my English teaching diplomas, which was the best step for me – away from many impersonal hours on the computer and back to real communication with human beings.
​
My (long) career in IT has allowed me to get in touch with many business areas but I feel a definite need to have more personal contact and invest time in my passion – teaching!
​
I love meeting new people, understanding their needs and having the chance to help them achieve their goals.
​
I have varied interests and hobbies, including sport (tennis, hiking, dancing), travelling, reading and, of course, spending as much time as possible with my wonderful family and grandchildren.
