First English...because it is
First for 29 years
Hi, I'm Derrick Anderson. I work as
- English Language Consultant
- English Teacher
- Cambridge Exams Wizard
- IELTS Speaking Test Wizard ;-)
I've been teaching for 29 years. I 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 to 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 are so we save time and money and avoid any frustration.
Services - I don't just teach English
I also do German to English translations on all sorts of documents. Some of my past work is here:

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