About

My name is Miriam Harpur-Kaegi

I believe languages are primarily communication vehicles that allow us to connect with each other.

​

Good business is built on connections, so speaking confidently is imperative to a successful business. 

​

I know what it is like to be unable to communicate with ease.  When I first moved to Ticino from Ireland in 2010, I wanted to join in conversations and speak, but instead, I felt embarrassed and blocked every time I opened my mouth.

​

But even as a shy Italian speaker, I discovered how to unlock communication skills and become a fluent, confident speaker. I now use these strategies in my approach to teaching English.

​

Unfortunately, many English learners' primary experience of language learning (usually at school or university) was focused on grammar and passing exams.​

​

I bring my teacher training and personal experience to language learning so that you can build your confidence in speaking English and therefore successfully build your business.
