Hi! I'm Ann Lloyd.
I am originally from South Africa and have lived in Switzerland since 1999 with my family.
​
Teaching has been my passion, since growing up with an English Teacher as a mother and helping her do the marking and prep work at home. I used to teach and read to my toys growing up. Over the years I have taught English part-time and been involved with training others in various settings. I have lived in 12 countries, and visited more over 3 continents.
​
I have had a part-time business selling Usborne English children’s books in Switzerland since 2003, while raising my two wonderful sons.
I decided to become a Helen Doron teacher in 2016 after teaching English as a Foreign/Second Language and to native speakers for several years in Switzerland, and seeing the need to offer a more child-focused methodology. In addition to completing Helen Doron intensive training, I am a qualified parental coach and a certified English as a Foreign Language Teacher (TEFL).
It has been my dream and desire to create a place where mums of mixed cultures can meet and children can also be welcome. I am passionate about education, children and families. I love seeing the process that children go through when learning and having fun at the same time. I am still learning and that is how life should be — a journey of learning, to go from strength to strength.
Helen Doron English Worldwide
In 1995, the Helen Doron English Method was introduced to Europe in Austria and then Germany. In 1998, the franchise business model was adopted and Helen Doron English Learning Centres began popping up throughout Europe. Recently, Helen Doron English has expanded into China, Southeast Asia, and South and Latin Americas.
​
Helen’s passion was, and still remains today, maximizing the learning capabilities of children of all ages, and to producing best-in-class learning programmes for them.
