I'm from the United Kingdom but have been living in Jerez de la Frontera in Spain for the past three years. I live here with my husband and my two daughters are studying Politics and Psychology at universities in the UK. I have lived in several different countries including Portugal, Turkey and Malaysia. My favourite hobbies are swimming, watching movies and socialising with my friends and family.Mostrar traducción
Yo como profesor
I've been an English language teacher since 1994 and have taught all ages and levels. I have worked with a variety of organisations such as the British Council and International House. 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.Mis clases y método de enseñanza
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 use a wide variety of authentic English materials, such as newspapers, blogs, videos and songs to introduce grammar and vocabulary and improve your listening and speaking skills.
I provide clear explanations of grammar and vocabulary with examples and provide you with practice through exercises, games and other activities.
I also encourage you to study outside the classroom and provide you with the resources to do this.
I am a friendly, patient and supportive teacher.Certificados

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!
