Meet the Teacher
My name is Emma Fox and I am a primary teacher at ELA Basel. I moved to Switzerland in 2020 after completing a science-based degree in Australia and have since become qualified as both a primary teacher and a teacher of English as a Foreign Language.
I am very passionate about teaching and bring forth many skills and knowledge from my previous studies. I believe that children should be engaged in their own learning and encourage an independent and creative environment.
With a hands-on and dynamic approach, students are encouraged to explore English as a language, whilst targeting the four key areas of English - reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
