About me
Hello and welcome! I'm Susan, and I'm so happy you're here! 🌍✏️
Thank you for taking the first step towards improving your English. Whether you're here for school support, exam preparation, professional development, or just to grow in confidence, I’m here to help you achieve your goals in a friendly, structured, and enjoyable way.
I come from Northampton, a lovely town in central England about an hour outside London, famous for Silverstone Formula 1 and as the birthplace of Princess Diana. I now live in Malta, a stunning Mediterranean island rich in culture and inspiration. I’ve been teaching English for over 10 years, and I absolutely love it.
🧵 A Bit About Me
My teaching journey began when I worked online for a company in China, teaching English to children aged 4 to 16. This experience deepened my passion for helping students thrive through fun and focused learning. From there, I trained to become an IELTS specialist, and ever since, I’ve supported learners with all kinds of academic and professional goals.
I have had the pleasure of teaching students from every corner of the world, including Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas. It’s a joy to engage with so many cultures while helping each learner build confidence and reach their potential.
Before becoming a teacher, I worked in finance as a trainer in London, coaching new recruits on communication, regulations, and sales. I also worked in media, managing my own entertainment page at a newspaper, a role that sparked my love of storytelling and strong written English.
👩🏫 What I provide.
Whether you're a young learner, a busy professional, or preparing for exams, I create personalized lessons tailored to your goals. I offer support in:
✅ Grammar and sentence structure
✅ British pronunciation (clear and neutral accent)
✅ Vocabulary building
✅ Conversational English, both formal and informal
✅ Business English, including emails, presentations, and interviews
✅ School support, including homework help and test preparation
✅ IELTS, TOEFL, and Cambridge exam coaching
✅ English for citizenship or relocation
✅ Reading and discussing news articles
I teach A1 to C2 learners and provide a wide range of quality learning materials, along with optional homework for extra practice between lessons.

I have multiple educational and business qualifications

❤️ Why I Love Teaching

I started my lessons with Sue a month ago and thanks to her help I feel that my English has improved. We alternate grammar lessons with lessons where we read articles and talk about them, in this way both my grammar and pronunciation has improved putting me at ease when I have to speak English for work.

My specialties
Conversational English
Talking in English is the best way to learn pronunciation and communicate globally, either for work purposes or just simply to travel, in my lessons we can read articles, have discussions, and keep learning new vocabulary and improve pronunciation.
Business English
I have a wide knowledge of business and can help with interviews and formal business communication, as learning vocabulary associated with English, one of the problems my business students find is only understanding some business words in meetings, etc and this leaves them feeling unable to understand and also put their opinions across, in my business classes we learn words associated to all departments at all levels.
IELTS
I am highly qualified at preparing students for their IELTS exam, there is quite a process to this and I can provide training and advice, we will work on all areas of the exam and practice answering questions you will possibly have in the exam, we will work on sentence structure, I can also provide homework so your written English is also being prepared.
English for beginners
I can help your English in an easy fun way and build confidence, we will learn from simple pictures, pronunciation, grammar, and putting sentences together, this is ideal for children and adults.
Intensive English
Intensive English is learning new material and presenting this with longer than normal sentences, linking words, and providing explanations on a topic most suited to your career or lifestyle, many students know a word but do not know how to put this into a sentence using the tenses, because there are different tenses word are changed and its important to learn how to do this to pass exams successfully.
British English
I am a well-spoken English native qualified to teach you excellent English grammar. In Britain, we use many Idioms, which are used in everyday situations and my lessons will help you to use these words too, to understand the British language and effectively communicate at all levels.
English for traveling
Are you going to travel? I can teach you the right grammar and sentences, help you board a plane, ask for information, and all the necessary situations you may find yourself in shops, restaurants, etc.

English job interview prep
An interview can be daunting when applying for a job in a different country, knowing the culture is also very important, I can provide you with the correct culture and we can work together on having a role play interview.
