Originally, I am from a town called Cheltenham in the west of England, which is in the heart of the Cotswolds. In my career I have travelled extensively but now I have settled in Vienna and have a young family. I have been teaching English in Vienna since 2005.

The GEPS programme is to provide children with native English tuition through their primary education: from 1st to 4th classes. Children gain a firm understanding of the structures and rhythm of the English language. Providing a great advantage for further education and even future career prospects. The methodology for the GEPS English teacher is to provide the same themes and content as the Austrian teacher but in English. This exposure to English, presented in this context, leads to recognition, then understanding, and then to spontaneous active use of the language. Just as children learn their own native language.
