First English...because it is
First for 30 years




Hi, I'm Derrick Anderson. I work as
- English Teacher and Consultant
- Cambridge Exams Wizard
- IELTS Speaking Test Wizard ;-)
I've been teaching for 30 years and have over 29 students in Reiden, where I offer a full range of English language services and courses especially designed for what you need; one-to-one, pairs, small groups of 3-4 students.
Proven Success: 95% of my students pass their Cambridge or IELTS exam.

I am a Cambridge Exams Wizard, an IELTS Speaking Test Wizard and ex-IELTS writing Examiner, which all means I'm rather experienced.
But to find out if I'm the best teacher to help you, contact me for a free level-assessment. Then we'll arrange four 50-minute trial lessons for a total price of Fr. 350.00. After that you can decide if you're happy with my advice on what's best for you and arrange as many or as few lessons as you think you and need to reach your goals with no obligation - stop when you wish.

Approaches to Learning

Some people learn quickly, some slowly, some people don't have much energy because they work full-time.
Whatever your situation, I'll make a course specific to your needs, in a group of friends or workmates, or in one-to-one lessons.
I also do company courses, first starting with 4-trial lessons in your company, so we all find out exactly what the goals and needs are, then I'll qive you a quote including how long it will take to reach those goals.

IELTS Wordcounts are History!
Did you know IELTS Writing Examiners haven't been counting words since mid 2018?
Exam Success!

Testimonials
Derrick does mock speaking tests for PET for Schools and First for Schools with my students here at the secondary school in Reiden. My students always perform very well and find the practice a great experience that really prepares them for their speaking tests.

He completely changed my way of thinking about the IELTS writing test and I got my ticket to Australia.
