talk courses

Gaining confidence when speaking English is at the heart of talk. I offer

three different courses, all aimed at supporting you to reach this goal. Contact me

for advice about any of the courses. I can suggest which is the right one for you.

Students say...

The most rewarding part of teaching is the acknowledgement that my students are making progress
and enjoy their classes. Here is what people have said about me and my courses.

As a company, we greatly benefitted from Louise's teaching. The lessons were well structured, with a good mixture of grammar and conversation.

About talk English language school

I'm Louise Rapaud. Since taking over talk in 2017, I have had the opportunity to teach countless students fundamental skills and conversational techniques to enable them to confidently move forward with their English proficiency. 

I bring to the classroom diverse, international experience as a social worker, a joy of working with people and a curiosity about our world. 

Engage me in a discussion about environmental, humanitarian or social change issues, and I'll be a friend for life!

 

Born and raised in Australia, I now consider Switzerland as my home. I hold both the CELTA and SVEB 1 certificate. Having started with German just ten years ago, I fully empathize with the ups and downs of learning English - you're not alone on your journey! 

talk is based in Belp with comfortable teaching rooms and easy access by car or public transportation. 

It takes 4 minutes on foot to reach the school from the train (Steinbach station). There is on-site parking available. 

I look forward to welcoming you!
