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.Показать перевод
Я как преподаватель
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.Мои уроки и стиль преподавания
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.Сертификаты

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!
