Passionate English teacher since 1994, dedicated to transforming your exam preparation and business communication into a success story. Holding a Masters Degree in Business and TESOL certificates, I provide personalised lessons using real world materials. I am patient and supportive, guiding you to learn by providing constructive feedback throughout the process.
I have taught all ages and levels and have worked with a variety of organisations such as the British Council.. As well as teaching general English I have experience in teaching the following
- Exam Preparation for the Cambridge exams, e.g. FCE, CAE, BEC and IELTS
- Business Communication Skills, e.g. negotiating, making presentations and writing reports.
- Academic English - e.g. essay writing, dissertation skills and participation in seminars.
- English for work - custom designed courses, e.g. for doctors or lawyers.
- Conversation - improve your pronunciation and learn language for everyday situations.
My lessons are based on what you want to learn and are interactive and communicative. If you want to use a coursebook, we can, or I can design lessons specifically for you.
I provide clear explanations of grammar and vocabulary with examples and provide you with practice through exercises, games and other activities.
After each lesson, I will give you full written feedback including error correction.

Exceptional IELTS teacher and highly experienced in English teaching. Susan can not only spot my strengths and weaknesses in English and help me become better at weak spots, but can also give me effective exam strategies in getting as many points as possible. For instance, your advise about speaking steadily, using conditionals and organizing ideas lifted my speaking score from 6 to 8 in just two months' time.

My English level has been increased with Susan. Now I can express myself and talk quite fluent without any preparation. I’ve just started my master’s at the university in English language and feel myself confident.
Thank you, Susan!
