Lianne Fatzer

Australian born

I was born in Melbourne, Australia. I spent the best half of my childhood and teenage years reading, or writing and illustrating short stories and novels.  I have always been passionately interested in Literature, the English language and languages as a whole.

In order to learn more languages, I headed to England in 2004, then 18 months later to Switzerland. Since my arrival in July 2007, I have had the good fortune of being able to turn my love of languages into my career.

CELTA and SVEB qualified

I am CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) and SVEB (Schweizerischer Verband für Weiterbildung) qualified.  I completed my CELTA studies with an outstanding final mark and these results, coupled with my enthusiasm, saw me quickly secure two English teaching jobs at private language schools in Wallis and Bern.

Independent and free-spirited

I am incredibly free-spirited and, as such, had always dreamed of ultimate independence – self-employment.  In July 2009, this dream became a reality.  WORTSPIELE is the final product of the
months of determination, brainstorming and dedication.
