About Ann ...
Uniquely placed to help Accounting professionals with their English.I’ve been studying, working, and living in the UK since 1998. (Born and raised in South Africa).
I received an MA in Education and am CELTA qualified through Cambridge.
I have traveled extensively and lived, worked, volunteered and taught in Thailand and Cambodia for over three years.
I have also coached English on a professional level to accounting and business professionals from all around the world, including Italy, Belgium, Serbia, Poland, China, Japan and many more.
So I know the challenges of learning and speaking other languages and how language is connected with culture.
This is why I've spent months developing a program for accounting professionals, that delivers fast results without spending time learning vocabulary no one needs. Prior to my travels, I spent the best part of 30 years in accounting; in accounting companies, my own business as well as in a training capacity.
I recognise the commitment and dedication it takes to be a good accounting professional and the stresses they undergo to remain professional and proficient at their jobs.
I would love to be able to help you. Please reach out if you would like to see how I can get you to the next level.

Ann is good at explaining the rules of proper speaking in English, which are useful not only in better speaking but also in better understanding of English native speakers."

”I really enjoyed this program. I had the chance to learn plenty of up-to-date, relevant and vital matters related to business English such as cultural awareness and accounting vocabulary, as well as general English in the shape of pronunciation and speaking. The structure of the program was useful, well-prepared and interesting. I am going to review all of the sessions over and over again. Thank you, Ann!”

- Antonio Piccoli
”Ann uses a simple winning approach, that allows you to better understand and remember something you don't know, or you've done in a wrong way. I am really grateful for her course and I am a bit sad to have already finished it! Thank you very much Ann!”
- Rossana - Italy
I highly recommend Ann's program to anyone looking to boost their confidence in using everyday business English. I personally chose this program because, while I'm comfortable with professional written English, especially in legal and financial contexts, I've struggled with quickly understanding native speakers and speaking with precision. Ann's course has been instrumental in helping me identify areas for improvement in my spoken English, particularly when delivering presentations to larger audiences. The classes themselves are challenging, but Ann employs effective teaching tools such as recording sessions, discussion of recordings, and a useful vocabulary book, which have facilitated rapid progress.
I highly recommend Ann´s english sessions. The content of the subjects is very complete. You can learn a lot of new words related to accounting, improve your communication skills, make better presentations to your colleagues and speak more fluently. There are many examples to practice it and supplemental exercises. Contact her if you want to take your english to another level.
