Experience

I love teaching. I have been doing it for the past 10+ years at London's largest language school (EF, Waterloo) as a teacher, tutor and lecturer and deeply enjoy the relationship you build up with students and the ability to inspire them to achieve their goals. ABOUT ME: My past, like the students I have taught, is diverse, having Swedish blood but growing up in Switzerland, then studying in Scotland then working in London and pursuing careers in everything from marketing, to theatre, film, photography, design and journalism while teaching those subjects along the way. During my time with EF I was given the 'Most Inspirational Teacher' award (as voted for by the students) 8 times. I believe language is what brings us together and what helps us understand the world so my teaching style is all about being expressive, inclusive and creative. HOW I WORK: - I like to use real world materials catered towards what the student needs to involve them in the current climate of information and interaction. - I put a lot of emphasis on critical thinking and analysis. - I strive to create and build skills that force students to use language more thoughtfully. - I like to approach teaching from a skill perspective where students will improve their ability to: - describe their world more efficiently. - give opinions more effectively. - tell stories more excitingly. - write more accurately. The main objective is to lead them towards having a more rounded relationship to their language ability. PUBLIC SPEAKING AND WRITING: For those of you requiring specialised skills I also have 10 years experience in teaching media based subjects as head teacher of EF Language Schools Media Program, teaching: - Public Speaking. - Creative and Journalistic writing. - Film production and script development.

Hobbies

I enjoy all things creative - be that cinema and art or marketing and journalism. I love reading and understanding more about the world - preferably somewhere outside with a coffee or a drink with good company. I also play the piano and enjoy a good run around a tennis court and I really miss skiing in the alps.
