About Me

My school teaching background is as an enthusiastic and inspiring class teacher in a USA private school for 17 years. There I taught English and other academic subjects for the middle school and high school classes.
Here is a summary of some additional details:
• Native English speaker – originally from South Africa, but I lived in the US for
over 30 years.
• Originally a physician for 23 years, after which I received an MBA degree.
• I have both a CELTA and a TEFL certificate. They were each over 120 hours face-to-face and included teaching students each day.
• I would be interested in teaching those who are 11 years and older, individually or in a class (B1 level or above), or in preparation for an examination, especially IELTS and TOEFL. Given my background, I have had a number of students from the business and medical professionals.
• My philosophy is to ensure that the learners I teach are inspired and want to study, enjoy my classes, and as a result, do superior work so that they can reach their full potential.

I have helped students and colleagues improve their English for interviews, promotions, and client communication. In my classes, we use a quick check-in process, highly practical role-plays, specific feedback, and clear assignments between sessions. I adapt to your goals and level (A2–B1, B1–B2, C1; adults and young learners), focusing on five key areas: confidence, clarity of listening, useful vocabulary, pronunciation, and real-world practice.

Greetings - I am a native English speaker from Canada, but have lived in CH for the past 38 years. I speak CH German, so if you get stuck on words, no problem! I have taught in the Canton School of Thurgau and also in Migros Klubschule (Business English and Children 6-16 English). I enjoyed these lessons and made many friends. I teach in a way to make it seem fun and have certain procedures to almost force you to remember how to pronounce words and also how to spell them. I was always successful with my students and I hope you will allow me to teach you a World language for travel, business and simply for networking in the international community. Thank you.

All my courses are intensive and personalized, focused on your goals.

During our lessons, we will primarily speak Russian, as this allows us to learn the language as quickly as possible. We will read articles and discuss current events. If you don't understand something, I will be happy to explain it to you in French or English.

To make our courses more effective, I use the following approaches:
1. Communicative approach (as soon as we learn a word or grammar structure, we begin to use it in our communication)
2. Linguistic repertoire (we will make references to languages you already speak to make memorization easier and more lasting)

If you want to learn Russian for work, business, official exams, everyday communication, or simply out of love for Slavic languages and cultures, you've come to the right place. If you have other goals related to the Russian language, don't worry. Send me a message describing your situation, and I'll create a program specifically for you.

I'm a Swiss citizen with a background in banking and wealth management, plus years of experience in recruiting. I've coached candidates specifically for job interviews in Germany and Switzerland — from the initial application all the way to a successful offer.

Unlike a typical language teacher or generic career coach, I understand both sides of the process: how hiring managers in the DACH region actually think and decide, which answers land well, and the typical blind spots international candidates miss — both linguistic and cultural.

What you can expect:

Tailored preparation for your specific interview (industry, role, company)
Realistic interview simulations with direct, honest feedback
Sharpening your self-presentation, body language, and answer strategy
Support with language nuances if German isn't your native language
Insight into cultural expectations in the German and Swiss job markets (punctuality, communication style, salary negotiation)

Whether you're applying to the DACH job market for the first time, or you've had several rejections and want to know what's actually missing — I'll help you show up convincingly when it counts.

Ich bin Schweizer Bürger mit Hintergrund im Banking und Wealth Management sowie langjähriger Erfahrung im Recruiting. Seit Jahren coache ich Kandidat/-innen gezielt auf Vorstellungsgespräche für Stellen in Deutschland und der Schweiz vor — von der ersten Bewerbung bis zum erfolgreichen Abschluss.

Anders als klassische Sprachlehrer oder allgemeine Karriereberater kenne ich beide Seiten des Prozesses: Ich weiss, wie Personalverantwortliche im DACH-Raum tatsächlich denken und entscheiden, welche Antworten überzeugen und welche typischen Stolpersteine internationale Bewerber übersehen — sprachlich wie kulturell.

Das erwartet dich:

Individuelle Vorbereitung auf dein konkretes Vorstellungsgespräch (Branche, Rolle, Unternehmen)
Simulation von echten Interviewsituationen mit direktem, ehrlichem Feedback
Optimierung deiner Selbstpräsentation, Körpersprache und Antwortstrategie
Unterstützung bei sprachlichen Feinheiten, falls Deutsch nicht deine Muttersprache ist
Einblick in kulturelle Erwartungen im deutschen und Schweizer Arbeitsmarkt (Pünktlichkeit, Kommunikationsstil, Gehaltsverhandlung)

Egal ob du dich zum ersten Mal auf dem DACH-Arbeitsmarkt bewirbst oder nach mehreren Absagen wissen willst, was wirklich fehlt — ich helfe dir, im entscheidenden Moment überzeugend aufzutreten.

Extra information for the student:

Sitzungen finden online statt (Zoom, Google Meet oder Microsoft Teams) — bitte für stabile Internetverbindung, funktionierendes Mikrofon/Kamera und ruhige Umgebung sorgen.
Bitte vor der ersten Sitzung die Stellenausschreibung (falls vorhanden), deinen Lebenslauf und das Datum des geplanten Interviews mitteilen.
Ideal ist mindestens 1 Woche Vorlauf vor einem echten Vorstellungsgespräch, um genug Zeit für Übung und Anpassung zu haben.
Bitte mindestens 24 Stunden im Voraus stornieren oder verschieben.

I provide personalised English coaching for professionals and business people who want to communicate more confidently and effectively in international environments.
My lessons are practical and tailored to each student’s individual needs, level and professional situation. Rather than following a standard textbook programme, I focus on the English you actually need for your work and everyday professional communication.
Sessions can include Business English, conversation and fluency, presentations, meetings and negotiations, professional vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and accuracy, and preparation for interviews or important professional situations.
I also work with students to identify recurring mistakes and communication habits that may be holding them back. We then address these systematically through conversation, targeted exercises and regular feedback.
With extensive international business and consulting experience, I can also help experienced professionals develop the language, confidence and communication style needed when working with international colleagues, clients and senior management.
My approach is supportive, practical and conversation-focused. The objective is not simply to improve your English, but to help you communicate naturally, clearly and confidently when it matters.
