Personal Description:

I am an enthusiastic tutor who enjoys working with students with a view to improving their confidence and ability in the chosen subject area. My specialist subjects reflect my abilities as well as my interests, as I love reading both English and French books and going to see plays and films derived from good literary works!

Tutoring Experience:

I am a qualified teacher of Secondary Modern Languages and also of Teaching English as a Foreign Language.
Having taught in France for 2 years, I have also taught in both main-stream education (2006-7) as well as teaching for English Language schools (Anglophiles Academic and Kaplan group 1984 - 2010 intermittent summer teaching).

My experience as a tutor has involved 1:1 tuition to prepare for GCSE examinations in English and both GCSE and A level for French, from 1993 to date. I have also enjoyed teaching French to adults as a tutor for Somerset County Council from 2001-2003. I am currently the French tutor for Cornwall Adult Education, based in East Cornwall (2014-current)

Tutoring Approach:

Upon introduction to a new student, my initial lesson includes a fact-find with, if at all possible, both parent and student to discuss their needs and my tutoring approach. This will involve establishing what the main requirements are for the student (i.e.spelling, grammar, essay-writing skills and creativity etc) and the methods and materials I prefer to use. I would expect my students to show motivation and to work towards their goal by working well with me in class and also by completing a weekly homework task!

From Ella (5/5): (GCSE English) I was a bit worried at first to find a tutor through website. However, I was totally wrong. Susan is such a lively person and she is excellent in her English tutoring. She is very resourceful in her teaching. My two boys think she is great. My younger son is now motivated to do well in his English. Thank you Susan

Reply from Susan: Thank you, Ella; your boys are very keen learners and are a delight to teach. They deserve to do well in their English!

From Kornelia (5/5): (GCSE English) Susan is absolute brilliant. She does explain everything so well and my daughter loves to be tutored by her.
Today my daughter got her GCSE results and got a B in English, absolute brilliant result.

Reply from Susan: Dear Conny

It was a real pleasure to teach Gianna and she deserved to do well after all her hard work; Well Done!

Kind regards

Sue

From Ade (5/5): (GCSE English) I'm very happy with Sue's teaching, she was very patient and was willing to go back again and again on any part I didnt understand. I will recommend her.

Reply from Susan: Thank you for your positive and kind comments, Ade; we will both work hard over the coming weeks to ensure you are well prepared for the approaching mock exams and the GCSE exam next year!
