Susie (Kids& Adults)

Susie is a natural-born teacher (great instincts for when to challenge me, when to indulge me, when to change topics/methods), who also extremely diligent (always prepared with materials for our lessons, and often with homework to assign, and also sends me class notes afterwards). (It's a really rare combination, as many gifted teachers don't bother putting in the work, and no amount of diligence can make up for a lack of natural talent.) Our lessons are both fun and challenging, she happily lets me steer her off topic with random questions (which she answers brilliantly), but always manages to bring us back on track, and she also frequently circles back to things I learned in previous lessons, so I don't forget. I really can't rave about her enough, although I selfishly hope she doesn't get too popular, because I don't want other people to steal my timeslots, and I plan to continue with her for a long time!

Very encouraging teacher! My daughter has been with her over a year now.

I hate that iTalki makes me choose up to 3 of their set adjectives to describe Susie's personality. Susie is neither (overly) energetic, nor (boringly) calm -- she's just perfect! She isn't just 3 of "caring, diligent, creative, trustworthy, patient, playful, disciplined, casual," she is ALL of these things!

Second lesson with Susie. I already feel like I'm learning a lot with her. I'm getting great speaking and listening practice as well as grammar enhancement and vocabulary acquisition. As well as review notes after class. Would definitely recommend

Ah, I was *so bad* today! I couldn't remember anything, and I felt SO stupid! Susie couldn't possibly have been nicer, more patient, more encouraging, more helpful. I'm really lucky to have found such a good teacher.

Very good teacher!
