Better English for Better Communication
“I work with a whole range of people who all make sensational progress with their English language skills, and who are constantly surprised at how much fun they have in the process. I cultivate a motivational learning environment which helps my students feel comfortable when speaking English. My students are inspired to succeed and I make sure they do.”
About me
Born and raised in Scotland, I came to the lovely Rhineland many years ago and stayed much longer than I had ever intended. In fact, so much so, that I now consider Cologne my second, and much-loved home. English is my mother tongue, I am fluent in German and I speak a little Spanish and French too.

Service
No two clients are identical, nor do they have exactly the same needs. This is why all programs are individual and tailor-made to your specific requirements. As a classically trained singer, I specialise in pronunciation, clear speech and confident voice use, but I also offer training in a wide variety of other topics.
With over 15 years English training experience in many business sectors such as banking, engineering, project management and clerical work, I am sure I will be able to help you too.

No matter where you are in the world, I can come to you! I offer individual language coaching via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or telephone so you can improve your skills from the convenience of your office or even your own home.
Exam preparation
As a certified examiner, I specialise in the TOEIC exam, an internationally recognised business English exam. Other exams are also available on request.
Proofreading
Texts can often be grammatically correct when written by non-native speakers, however the style can sometimes sound unnatural. I can help you with your English language content so as to most effectively reach an international audience with no distractions from your original message
