Hi,
I’m Louise. I’m a native English speaker originally from Great Britain and now living in Cologne.
Since qualifying as a language trainer in 2000 I have helped hundreds of people feel more confident when speaking English. My students have ranged in age from 5 to 85.
I spent many years working in language schools in Cologne and taught business and general English classes both in the schools and in a range of companies in and around Cologne.
I spent two years in the UK at a college teaching academic, general and business English courses.
Since 2010 I have been working freelance in Cologne and the surrounding area and have seen the inside of many different types of companies: advertising, IT, power generation, telecommunications, PR, property management, logistics etc.
I tailor my teaching according to what the learners require and adapt resources and teaching materials to different business environments. No two learners are the same and no two companies require exactly the same lessons.
As a language learner myself I understand just how difficult and frustrating it can be, especially at the start, when everything seems so difficult.
BUT, I also understand the sense of relief and achievement when things start to come together and you go from just understanding (some of) what is being said to actually speaking the language yourself. Suddenly you can communicate, in full sentences, and can participate in a conversation. That’s progress!
If you are looking for a professional, qualified and experienced teacher to help you communicate more effectively in English, contact me for further information.
Have fun learning English!
Louise
