About Me

I'm a British-American graphic designer living in Basel, Switzerland. I am enjoying my own journey learning a new language, and now I help others do the same! From running workshops at University and designing software training in my first “real” job, I can help adults tap into their personal learning style.

I'm an attentive and proactive teacher, because if you want to learn it, you must use it. I will ask you to speak, write, listen, read, role-play, and engage with English - just like you need to use it in class or at work. Fluency and accuracy are two different things, and making mistakes is part of the process - so the most important thing I provide my students is a “language lab”: a place to experiment with no pressure!
