About me

Who, Where, What.... I have been teaching since 1990 and helping businesses since 1995. Most of the English classes take place in Niederuzwil, which is 20 minutes from St. Gallen and 10 minutes from Wil. You can choose between daytime and evening classes, and decide whether you would like to join a small group, come with your friends, or have a lesson just for you.
	Bea Fitze... After a childhood spent in Zambia and South Africa, I completed my education at the Witwatersrand College of Advanced Technical Education in Johannesburg. My Diploma covered, amongst other subjects, English (Distinction), Afrikaans, bookkeeping, business economics, shorthand in two languages and typewriting. After College I worked in Johannesburg and later in Switzerland as a Private Secretary and Personal Assistant in various large companies.
In 1991 I trained as a teacher of English to adults and have been teaching ever since. I currently teach between fifteen and twenty classes per week. I also assist business people with their daily English work. In 2005 I began to study with an English university and obtained a Certificate in Humanities. (I enjoyed the course so much that I passed with Distinction. What wonderful new worlds opened up, I don't think I've ever had so much fun learning new things!) I also studied modules in Human Genetics and Obesity Issues. In 2008/2009 I decided to change tracks when I came across the opportunity to qualify as a Lifestyle Trainer. I obtained my Diploma in December 2009. I'm now building up a second business, persuading people who are by nature as uninclined to exercise as I am to move more!
