The Angie Gisler English Language Centre hit Switzerland by storm in when the young South African entrepreneur saw a huge missing segment of English language education in Switzerland. Her extensive career working as a teacher around the world and pure love for what she does has allowed her to tailor-make undoubtedly one of the best English language centers in Switzerland.
The Expat Magazine spent a day with Ms. G to find out exactly who she is and what she does that is making her centre so reputable and what her plans are for the future. Many ex-pats end up in Switzerland for either work or love, but Angie had both. Prior to making Switzerland home, she lived and worked abroad running English schools, cutting her teeth in some of the leading schools in South Korea, the USA and Russia.
During her journey she found the love of her life and married her Swiss husband, landing her in Switzerland with a fierce determination to make something of her own. I had been working in international schools for over six years and always had it in the back of my mind to open my own language centre. As with every language, you can get a little lost in translation and before you know it we find ourselves in a game of charades with a lot of laughter.
Switzerland attracts citizens from all over the world, hence the demand for English. G in the future. This driven and tenacious entrepreneur who has just completed her Post Graduate in Education, has a solid plan to be accommodating to not only Switzerland but also non-English speaking nations across the globe. Next year she is extending her services to different cantons, moving online with video tutoring and Skype lessons, as well as providing high end fly-in-fly-out English programs.
At the time, he would watch the news and felt the worldview was a negative one, and one he also possessed. That people are not good to one another, there is a lot of suffering and misery and anger in the world. En el mundo hay mucha mas gente buena que mala in the world there are many more good people than bad. That is his message. And his objective is not to see as many places and take as many selfies as possible. Rather it is to learn, share, create connections and be an active, empathetic participant in his experiences.
