Susan

Hello, my name is Susan and I am from the U.S. I love to teach English, especially reading comprehension, literature, organizational writing skills, and grammar. I love poetry and host a radio show about poetry and prose.  Middle school English classes and teaching adult ESL classes were my favorite jobs, as well as private tutoring. Many of my students are/were Spanish speakers, Asian, European, and African.  I am a grammar “geek” and enjoy explaining the rules and idiosyncrasies of the English language, working on pronunciation, and creative writing.  Knowing what my student’s needs and goals are is paramount in order for me to create interesting and informative lessons.  Of course, “teaching by the book” is also essential for those students who need to pass exams to advance their academic pursuits, and I, too, always learn from good textbooks and prepared approaches to teaching English.
