A professional School English teacher, I have taught in England, Australia and South Africa. I have assisting students with their spoken conversational English, Business English, vocabulary and pronunciation, public speaking and letters and emails.

" We talk, we laugh, we talk, we learn." This is my motto. The best language learning takes place in genuine conversations, guided by your goals and intentions. Discussions on topics of your choice allow you to develop a new vocabulary.
I have a keen interest in business and global matters. Assisting you with elevated business vocabulary , preparations for business presentations, business conversation and business writing is where I thrive.
As I listen, I am able to evaluate and correct. You will select the format of the lesson; whether it be strict grammar, or poetic language that will be enjoyed and understood by the listener.

If you need a professional language mentor, Colette is absolutely the right person. Colette is a wonderful and very effective teacher. In my lessons, we work on topics such as voice variety and building a strong emotional message.

The lessons with Colette are exciting and useful for me. Colette is a professional in teaching, and she is very positive and enthusiastic. We discuss many topics in a relaxed atmosphere, so English becomes more familiar and concrete to me than vague, abstract, and obscure. At the end of each lesson, Colette gives feedback, we discuss my weaknesses and what needs to be improved. Colette prepares a lot of materials (videos, articles) to expand my vocabulary. We play different scenarios to improve English in business communication. I'd like to continue our lessons.

Colette è una della persone più interessanti e simpatiche che io abbia mai conosciuto nella mia vita, oltre ad essere molto preparata nell'insegnamento. L'aspetto più importante per me è quello di aver accresciuto la mia autostima. Colette è sempre di incoraggiamento !!!! Consiglio vivamente a tutti!!!
