Nos enseignants sont dynamiques!

La plupart de nos enseignant(e)s travaillent à temps partiel. Tous sont dynamiques, motivés et possèdent des expériences très variées.

Quel que soit leur expérience ils sont spécialement formés par Creative Language Center pour enseigner la Méthode Callan.

Leur but est de vous faire PARLER l’anglais pendant chaque leçon en s’appuyant sur une méthode structurée. L’enseignant-acteur interpelle chaque élève tour à tour ou tous ensemble pour répéter et reformuler chaque phrase au rythme de questions-réponses.

Our Lausanne Teachers:

George Welser, Director CLC Lausanne:Hello everyone! Je suis né en Autriche, mais j’ai vécu toute mon adolescence en Suisse. Travaillant dans l’hôtellerie, j’ai passé 13 ans en croisière sur les océans. En 1989 je me suis installé à Stamford, USA ou j’ai ouvert un restaurant. Je suis revenu en Suisse en 2001 et je travaille au Creative Language Center de Vevey et Lausanne depuis 2004.Cet un immense plaisir pour moi d’accompagner nos étudiants sur leurs parcours de la découverte et de la maitrise de l’anglais. Je me réjouit de vous rencontrer très bientôt dans notre école de Lausanne.

Alan Myer:Hi, I’m Irish. I have been living in Switzerland 2 and a half years and I love it. My French isn’t very good but I try. I enjoy listening to music, watching movies, meeting my friends and having a pint of Guinness on weekends!!

Rachel Parker: I’m English and was born in England many years ago.. My husband & I moved to Switzerland (Zurich) 14 years ago with our one year old daughter. We fell in love with Switzerland (although not German!) so moved to Lausanne after our son was born (13 years ago) and have been here ever since.

Ana Riccioppo: Hello! I’m from Brazil and moved to Lausanne in 2010. I just love living here and having the opportunity to meet new places and people. I’ve been an English teacher since 1998 and this is what I really love doing and what I’ve always wanted to do, since I was a small child. I began at CLC in August, 2010, and it feels great to be back in action. It is even better because I’m part of a wonderful team! In my free time I like going out to know different places, but I also enjoy staying at home watching movies or playing board games with my husband and my daughter. Hope to see you soon!

Alfonso Castano: Hello! I’m from Mexico city I’m 28 years old. I did my studies in the United States after that I moved to Vancouver Canada and lived there for two years. In 2009 I decided to come to Switzerland for a certain period and I’ve been here since then! I love traveling as well, I really enjoy meeting new people and new cultures, I think that’s also one of my passions apart from sports!

Yamen Laifi: Hi! I’m from Tunisia. I have been living in Switzerland for almost 2 years. I came to here to finish my Master’s Degree at the University of Lausanne (American literature).

Our Vevey Teachers:

Nina Dominguez, Directrice:I’ve been teaching since the age of 18, it’s my biggest passion together with climbing up and down the mountains. I really don’t know what else to say about me except that I’ve travelled a lot, lived in 6 different countries, that I love animals, good food, people, and that friendship is essential in my life. I also enjoy rollerblading, photography and yes, playing ping-pong!

Elaine Thomas, Co-Directrice: Hello, I’m English. I moved to Switzerland in 1999 with my two boys thinking that it would be short term and have never returned.

I love to ski, although I’m not so good at it, but I try! I enjoy travelling and experiencing what the world has to offer! I look forward to seeing you in a classroom very soon.
