Hello, and welcome to Bernie's English!
My name's Bernie Zoettl, and I'm an English teacher.
Of course, I could simply write a short introduction about my qualifications, my teaching experience, etc. It might be the most professional thing to do on a teacher's website. But I figure it would be pretty boring, as well. And I don't think I'm boring.
Then, there's sunshine! I love summer, I love warm weather, I love swimming in the sea. So it's not hard to see why I teach English in Malta every summer.
Travelling is another thing that keeps me happy! I enjoy exploring new places and meeting interesting people from across the world.
And of course, I absolutely love languages! I have always found other languages fascinating. That's why I decided to become a translator and - more importantly, a language teacher.
If you want to find out more about me, why not join one of my conversation classes? I love chatting about all the things that make my students' lives - and my life - intersting 🙂
Or you could subscribe to my YouTube channel, where - besides exploring interesting aspects of the English language - you can also get to know me and my kids 🙂
I am a fully qualified EFL teacher based in Malta and Austria, and hold a teaching permit issued by the ELT Council Malta.
I've been teaching English since 2003, and I started my own business as a self-employed translator and an independent language teacher in 2010.
Currently, I am working as a freelance teacher for a number of centres in Austria and Malta.
On this website (https://www.berniesenglish.com) I offer e-learning in the form of free-of-charge and paid self-contained Online English Courses, as well as Online Conversation Courses via various video-chat platforms, and Blended Learning Courses for students attending my physical classrooms; as well as the organisation of Language Learning Holidays in a number of language centres.
