Me as a Teacher
I'm British with a clear, easy to understand accent. I love helping people with their specific work-related English , accent reduction, speaking and writing extension. I love helping you to say what YOU want to say!
I'm approachable, friendly but professional, supportive and conscientious ... or you can just read my testimonials to find out what students who have already worked with me say!
My credentials: I have 20 years'+ teaching experience in both the UK and New Zealand with both international students and migrants/ex-pats. I was an IELTS examiner for 3-4 years, a language school manager and have also trained student teachers in teaching practise for the TKT. Working online since 2016
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are flexible and informal. I do not follow a fixed course but instead quickly assess what you need and tailor lessons accordingly. I will help you say what YOU want to say and deliver it better!
I will give you an initial assessment of your level in speaking and/or writing, set goals with you and then discuss with you a targeted learning plan and
• provide step by step help to improve.
• help you to recognize and overcome repeated errors
• develop your vocabulary so it is more precise and natural
• coach you to better pronunciation
• provide regular practice tasks followed up with detailed feedback
• improve the structure and quality of your writing ( if required)

I am preparing for the OET with Sue and am very happy with the experience. Sue is a great teacher. Her lessons are interesting and well-planned. She puts all the information we learn into documents to help me understand better and gives me lots of useful tips. Sue carefully corrects all the mistakes in my sentences, so I can learn from them. Her patience and support make learning enjoyable. I highly recommend Sue to anyone seeking high-quality preparation for the OET

Gute Mischung aus Gespräch und Übungen, flexibles Eingehen auf individuelle Fragen/Themen.
Beginn der Stunde typischerweise mit etwas Smalltalk über vergangene Woche, dann in der Regel Fokussierung auf ein Thema. Diesmal Fokussierung auf Ausdrucksweise in der Bewertung von Personen.
Häufig dann noch Arbeit mit von ihr vorbereiteten Übungen.
Parallel zum Gespräch Kommentierung in einem Google Docs Dokument.
Am Ende der Stunde in der Regel dann noch Sprechen über unterschiedlichste Themen, diesmal: Weihnachtsmärkte.
Für mich guter Unterricht, da ich flüssiges Sprechen trainiere und durch die immer neuen Themen mein Vokabular erweitere.

Sue is a very good teacher who is committed to her work. Her lessons represent a very high level of content and numerous teaching qualities. They are well thought out and have clear objectives that help the student prepare for an exam and improve their English language skills. I would recommend her lessons to anyone looking for a good teacher to help them jump to the next level of language proficiency.

Sue has been my coach for over 5 years - she's been coaching me in terms of IELTS preparation, and recently she's helping me develop my lesson plans, which are very useful, thus reducing my anxiety in lesson preparation.
