From 45.95 £ /h

Hello! I am a native English professional, born and raised in the South-East of England. I specialise in teaching professionals correct 'Queen's English' pronunciation and spelling to improve business writing and speaking skills.

I currently work in Zurich in financial services and have spent the last 9 years working in investor relations, corporate communications and the private investment universe, at management level, in London and Switzerland. I have the skills and extensive experience to teach you how to present yourself in a professional and eloquent manner and write perfect emails, marketing materials, communications, academic pieces and resumes.

I can also offer these services to younger students who do not necessarily need business skills but need a hand in learning English overall, for example reading out loud and learning correct grammar.

I am very patient, friendly and able to tailor my services to your individual needs - I can be as flexible as needed to help you reach your goals.

About Me

Hello!

I'm a 31 year old female professional, currently living and working in Zurich. I was born and raised in South East England, moving to London in my twenties and then on to Zurich in 2018.

I have spent my entire career in financial services, initially working in investor relations with public companies before moving into the private investment/ asset management sector. I have been working with corporate and marketing communication in both areas of work and have a real passion for writing and presenting. I have always had excellent grammar and speaking skills and would love to help others in realising their potential with the English language.

I have also mentored and supported students through work placements with me and my teams, as well as supporting them in taking the first step in their career thereafter - I have written more resumes, cover letters, university reference letters and CVs than I care to count!

I am friendly and personable so please do not hesitate to get in touch, Kayte

I specialize in teaching children and adults. I make learning creative and fun and completely tailor made to each student's learning style and strengths. I place a strong emphasis on intuitive learning through speaking and reading and I let the grammar and vocabulary knowledge build naturally. I do follow textbooks when required but I also lesson plan around it, using the student's interests to make the class interesting.

Italian is my mother tongue, I love its sound, its grammar structure, the culture it expresses.
I hope to pass on to my students my passion and enthusiasm, thanks to the experience I made at university, where I studied ancient Greek and Latin, then working as a teacher in high school, and gaining the DITALS, which is a diploma to teach Italian to foreigners.
I have experience with students of different levels and age, and I gear each lesson towards my students' goals and preferences.

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 :)
