Hi. My name is Keri and I am Australian, so a native speaker. I live in the beautiful city of Prague, combining my passions for travel, creativity and knowledge sharing as part of a sabbatical from my career in Sydney.

I am a certified, and experienced, English as a Foreign Language teacher. I teach in-person and online English to adults and children using the ESA method (Engage, Study, Activate), which is an engaging, effective and fun method for learning a foreign language.

Whether you would like to learn English for personal reasons (such as travel), for work, or just for fun, I would love to accompany you on your learning journey. Through guided lessons, I can help you build your vocabulary, your confidence, and your fluency.

With over 30 years of experience in the corporate world - Business, Legal and Medical English are my speciality, and my passion!

I also love teaching General English, which I have done both in Prague and in Milan, My students include children and adults, and I have been told they love my friendly, professional and patient manner.

Lessons will usually use audio and video clips narrated by speakers with a variety of accents, thereby exposing you to and expanding your comprehension across multiple accent types. If we are doing Business English lessons, topics will include “soft” skills such as managing workplace conflict, writing better emails, improving team dynamics and negotiation, as well as technical skills such as project management methodologies and measuring productivity. So there will be the added bonus of professional development with every English lesson! And if we are doing General English lessons we will cover a wide range of topics in your interest areas, and at the same time build your vocabulary, grammar and fluency.
