Francesca Williams, BA

Teacher

Hello! I am from the South of England. I have lived in Austria since 2019. I love the country! The history, the culture, and of course the skiing! 

I have been teaching English since 2019, I took the CELTA in the UK and then moved to Austria as soon as I could! I enjoy teaching adults and younger learners, and I have experience with both. My favourite thing about teaching is being able to help people build their confidence and achieve their best, whatever their goal may be!

Eckard Nieman

Teacher

Hi there! I was born and raised in South Africa where I grew up with an affinity for learning languages. In 2013, I decided to move to Austria but it wasn't until much later that I discovered that teaching is something I love doing just as much. 

I have found that being able to play a role in helping others to unlock their language skills is extremely rewarding and something I enjoy doing every day.
