Tutoring Business English & Academic Writing, Preparing Students for Cambridge Exams, IELTS, TOEIC tests.
From 41 Fr /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.

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.
