I understand how difficult it can be to learn another language. Let’s transform your English language goals into success in a relaxed, friendly way!
Me as a Teacher
I first taught English in 1993 in the Republic of Moldova to secondary school pupils and adults before returning to the UK and teaching individuals or small groups. I have since spent 3 years in Cyprus teaching English to adults, predominantly from Arabic speaking countries at a refugee reception centre.
I have now retired from working in a National Health Service Public Health role helping vulnerable groups understand how to use our healthcare system. This brought me into contact with people who speak a variety of languages and often had very limited English language skills.
My lessons & teaching style
I have an abundance of experience sourcing excellent grammar and general English language resources to assist you.
Alternatively, enjoy a relaxing conversation. I can correct all or only major errors to help your fluency.

I honestly didn’t expect much from a 30-minute first lesson and was quite skeptical going in — but Susan completely changed my mind.
She is incredibly warm, kind, and easy to talk to. The conversation felt natural and engaging from the very beginning, and I was surprised by how much interesting and useful information she managed to share in such a short time.
I genuinely enjoyed the lesson and left feeling excited rather than tired — which says a lot. I’m really looking forward to continuing. Absolutely loved it.
