Business English, Interview Prep, Academic English, IELTS, Conversation

From 65.59 € /h

After 25 years of teaching English, I've learned that the best lessons happen when students feel genuinely comfortable.
I'm a native British speaker who came to teaching through an interesting path – I started as a linguist and translator, then spent 37 years working as a Naturopathic Doctor and Humanistic Psychologist before returning to my roots in language. This diverse background taught me a valuable lesson: real progress occurs when you understand each learner’s individual needs.

My Approach is Simple
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all lessons. Instead, I tailor my classes to your specific needs. And because I know that sounding natural matters just as much as perfect grammar, I weave everyday collocations into our sessions – the kind of language that makes you sound genuinely fluent, not textbook-perfect.

Why I ONLY Teach Online
Working online allows me to concentrate on my students. It's just you, me and your goals, and working through them.

If you're preparing for an exam or have specific professional needs, let's talk. Let me know what you're working toward, so together, we can figure out the best way to get you there.

About Me

I’m Dr. Kay, a native English speaker from the UK living in Switzerland.

I’m a retired Naturopathic Doctor with 37 plus years in private practice. I also hold several other degrees, including a translation diploma in English, German and French, a Master's in Humanistic Psychology, and a coaching certificate.

After acquiring a diploma in translation for English, French, and German, I worked as a translator at UNESCO in Geneva for a few years before transitioning into a new professional field.

I have 29 years of ESL teaching experience under my belt. This has given me solid ground to stand on. I’ve given private classes to college students, taught ESL in language schools, on an online platform, in banks, and in companies.
Over the years, I've helped over 200 students pass their Cambridge exams, and I've taught more than 4,000 hours online on another platform. But numbers aside, what really matters to me is creating a relaxed atmosphere where you can learn and make progress without pressure.

As a TEFL-certified teacher, I specialise in Business English, IELTS, and TOEIC tests. I enjoy teaching and seeing students achieve the results they want.

I love exploring new cultures and meeting new people. I also enjoy gardening, spending time outdoors in nature, reading, listening to classical music, baking, and making homemade preserves.

Tutoring Business English & Academic Writing, Preparing Students for Cambridge Exams, IELTS, TOEIC tests.

65.59 € /h

I have helped over 200 students passed various Cambridge exams such as FCE, KET, PET, and BEC with high passing grades, as well as giving private lessons to students with specific needs such as improving their pronunciation and conversation fluency.

When it comes to my teaching method, I like to initially find out what the student’s ultimate learning goal is, and consider this before preparing any teaching materials.

It’s important to me that my students feel comfortable and can make progress at their own pace with confidence.
Nonetheless, as I know that becoming skillful at a language requires more than simply improving your grammar, I like to integrate the use of simple everyday colloquial expressions into all my teaching levels.

This not only helps students to expand their vocabulary but also gives them a better command of the language when speaking and thereby helping improve their fluency.

So if you’re preparing for any of the Cambridge exams, IELTS or TOEIC tests or you’re a professional with a specific need, I’m sure I can help you.

I encourage you to contact me. Tell me a little bit about your learning goal and let’s see how we can work together to achieve it.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!
