Introduction: I have been helping non-native speakers for more than 15 years, and love what I do. I learn as much from my students as they do from me. My approach is personal and informal. We work to meet your particular needs and learning style, rather than using a standard curriculum. I think you’ll find it fun as well as useful. I have always been a teacher: high school,, community college, university. Language, writing, speech. It’s my calling, Please read on for more information about me and what to expect from working with me. And please read my testimonials. It’s all you really need to know! I offer a free introductory consultation via Skype, Zoom, or phone. I look forward to hearing from you!

Sue is an excellent English Speaking ( American Accent training) teacher. She can easily find out my pronunciation problems, and give me clear instructions with patience. Learning with Sue is one of my best experience.

I've worked with Sue for a few months and have noticed an amazing improvement in my pronunciation, which has automatically boosted my confidence. My career requires a lot of communication with people and I wanted to make sure people understand me and also pay attention to what I say without the need to ask again. The way Sue teaches is great, she does not give me homework to do but instead put a lot of time into practical exercises during our sessions. This allows me to immediately apply my knowledge in work and communication with friends. I have recommended Sue to my friends and they also love working with her.

She is the best English teacher I've ever met. The accent reduction is the toughest part of English learning. She is very carefully listen and diagnose my problem, then try to fix it in the lesson, I love this style and feed back loop. I feel grow my pronunciation very much and I realize how my English was error prone! No other teacher point out the issues with great patient. I highly recommend her.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
One 60 minute lesson per week is $65. There is a 15% discount per each additional 60 minute i GBubv z a session per week. This includes a free initial consultation.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I meet with potential students first for a free consultation to determine their goals and needs and answer questions they may have about me and my teaching style. The first teaching session is diagnostic, to evaluate specific areas of difficulty, determine how the student feels comfortable learning (reading, pronunciation exercises, conversation etc). We identify the challenges that others with similar backgrounds also experience. We go on from there, according to each student’s individual needs, at each student’s pace.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
