About Me
I have helped numerous people improve their spoken English and this has been mainly for professional reasons and sometimes social reasons. I don't have a fixed method, rather relying on the intended occasion to dictate what we learn and talk about. This might be too relaxed for a structured student but works well with business people and those who mix in social and work circles where good English would be advantageous. Father with two daughters aged in their early twenties.Education
Private preparatory school followed by five years at Stowe school, Buckingham, England and then one year up at Cumbria University in the Lake District where I studied with trainee teachers.Experience / Qualifications

English Language Classes. Native English Teacher from New ZealandI am a highly experienced native English Language teacher from New Zealand. I have taught English for four years to adults of all levels. My specialty is conversational English for spoken-fluency, exam preparation, and English for professional presentations.
I am now seeking new individuals or groups for communicative and interactive English Lessons in the Basel or Zurich area. My recommendation is a weekly schedule of two 1.5 hour classes for fast improvement. I am available to meet for private or group classes in home, workplace, university or a café.
My lessons are very engaging, the material I offer is interesting and current. Lessons will be taught in English full-immersion style. I am also fluent in German and Spanish which gives me a strong understanding of common pronunciation and grammar faults. (I have many tips on how to improve these quickly!)
My previous professional experience include working for the Spanish Military in Madrid as well as the national railway company of Spain. I am an architect by training, so I am very knowledgeable of design vocabulary and expression.
I look forward to working together with your English language skills.

English(Improve Academic/Language skills, Terminology, Proofreading Thesis/Papers ): Beginner/Intermediate/AdvancedEnglish as a language is not only widely spoken but also, has made itself a prerequisite to the international world. Even if it is academic or just a beginner learning it for the first time, I will be helping you learn and master the English language just as I did until I achieved my dream of attending a university in English. Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking are essential fundamentals to truly master a language so we will have a lot of experience during our sessions in all of them depending on the student's needs.
