All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Susan.
Perfect! Susan is an excellent teacher who brings a lot of care and attention to her teaching, adapting both the style and content of her lessons to her students' abilities and goals. Of the teachers I've had over the past two years in becoming reacquainted with French, she is easily the best. Highly recommend.
Perfect! I came into the class as a skeptic, having never used a tutor and endlessly trying to learn a new language via mobile apps. But my expectations were greatly exceeded by Susan. Within the first introductory class, it was obvious she has a genuine love for teaching. Every class was not only engaging, but as someone who is admittedly very stubborn and meticulous, I appreciated her attention to detail, structure, and documentation. Thanks to her, I was able to go from 0 speaking ability to conversational French in just a few months. I highly recommend Susan as a French instructor!
Perfect! Susan has been blessed with wonderful communication skills. She moves easily between English, as she offers direction with clarity, and French allowing latitude for French dialogue. Susan has quickly identified my developmental opportunities and patiently speaks to me in French at a comfortable pace while providing guidance to address my needs. Susan has sent excellent exercises for me to complete independently and gives me opportunity for effective self-study. She is patient and importantly, a good listener. Susan's teaching style engenders meaningful and precise communication between the two of us. After 1 lesson, two ancillary discussions, several emails and texts, I have already begun to improve grammar and vocabulary. Susan is very attentive, bright and an elite educator!
Perfect! Susan is an amazing teacher! I was really nervous about finding someone to teach me another language, in the past I have used apps and tried books on and off for years but never had the progress that I was looking for. I have gotten further than I ever would have alone and I can see myself reaching my Goals with her. She is great at teaching all aspects of the languages and finds a way to make learning fun and engaging. I am so happy with how my progress is going that once I am able to confidently understand, read and speak French, I have also decided to continue with Susan to learn Spanish :). Don't wait get started today!
Perfect! Susan is an amazing tutor, she clearly explains all topics and provides extra practice questions in the areas that you need. I asked her to help me prepare for my exam in A1/A2 French and she was extremely helpful in looking at which areas of my french were weak and helping me improve. I cannot recommend her enough!
Perfect! quick, energetic, knowledgeable. A great help.
Perfect! I highly recommend Susan as a French teacher!
I'm an adult learner from Toronto who has wanted to learn French for many years. After some false starts using audio classes and computer software self-study, I sought an experienced teacher and private instruction to provide guidance and structure to my French learning journey. It has proven to be well worth it.
After 3 months learning with Susan, I am seeing real results for the first time. Starting with no base knowledge, I am already confident in my reading and writing skills at a low intermediate level, and will continue towards my goals of B2/C1 in all four aspects; reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
Consistently, Susan is well-prepared for each class, and tailors lessons around important concepts of language learning in each of the four areas. She has shared very helpful resources along the way, including; French media, worksheets, other challenges and homework. Our shared virtual blackboard sheet is an excellent record of progress, lessons and homework. In addition to being well-prepared and resourceful, she is also very knowledgeable, pleasant and patient which makes the lessons stress-free and comfortable.
Merci beaucoup Susan, et bonne chance aux futurs étudiants!Perfect! I wanted to progress quickly in French, so I had very high expectations for my potential teacher. Before I decided to go with Susan, I had tried around 15 different French teachers that I found on Superprof and other language tutoring platforms. All of them were experienced and had superb ratings and reviews. Yet, none could match Susan's level of professionalism, dedication, and resourcefulness. Her rate is on the higher end of the spectrum, but the quality of her teaching is worth every penny. She is patient, attentive, and always making sure I understand everything before moving on to a new topic. She tailors each lesson to my needs and assigns suitable homework. She provides class notes. She remembers my progress by heart... I can go on and on about how good she is.
Perfect! Susan is an excellent teacher. I have been studying French from her since the last three months. I started off with no foundation at all and within that short time she got me to B2 level reading.
She deeply understands the student's needs and weak areas and designs a program to address them. She also respects the time constraints and is willing to work with your schedule. This turned out to be perfect for me since she helped me make constant progress even though I had a relatively busy schedule. She is also very resourceful and provides useful handouts and homework along with great readings and popular media suggestions.Perfect! Susan has a very comfortable format of teaching that provides the student with an enjoyable experience. As a busy CEO, I've enjoyed the flexibility of virtual classes and I've very much enjoyed the progress and sense of achievement that Susan has provided me. Overall, I have very much enjoyed my classes over the last 7 months and would definitely recommend Susan as a teacher to anyone that is looking to learn French.
Perfect! Susan is an incredibly engaging and patient tutor!
Since the beginning of our lessons, Susan has tailored her approach to my learning desires and needs! I vocalized early on that I had a desire to focus on and improve my conversational French. As such, Susan has ensured that during each lesson we spend a large amount of time speaking in French. We focus on grammar, sentence structure as well as the pronunciation of the language. If Susan sees an area that I am struggling with, we will pause and spend some time talking through that subject.
In addition to our weekly lessons, Susan provides great resources to improve my learning outside of our weekly sessions. Susan is always checking in to make sure the resources she is providing are interesting and relevant to my learning.
Overall, Susan is an incredibly agile tutor and I am very pleased with her ability to tailor her approach to my learning needs. My French has substantially improved since working one-to-one with Susan and I highly recommend her as a tutor for anyone interested in improving their French!Perfect! Fantastic teacher. Not much more to say here.

I took French lessons with Susan, and I was starting completely from scratch. I was able to learn the language well because of the specific attention she gave to me and my specific learning style. She adapted the lessons based on what I needed and always gave me the necessary work for homework so I could improve. Susan spends time planning each lesson and takes advantage of the time during the lesson to teach the necessary skills and provides practice between lessons so I can learn efficiently.
She makes you feel comfortable and have fun while learning because of her great personality, and she is an excellent language teacher because of her skill set. So, I decided to now take Spanish lessons with her. She is giving me the same dedication, and I am having such a great time learning Spanish with her. Highly recommend!! FIVE STARS!Susan has been tutoring my son in grade 12 French. His grade has improved significantly and he looks forward to his sessions with her. Susan is consistent and clear in her direction and has been kind and supportive. My son has gained great confidence in French and is continuing his progress. I would highly recommend her.
To those looking for an excellent teacher, look no further. Susan's genuine love for teaching really makes learning enjoyable and productive . I always feel like my classes are worth while and I notice steady progress with her lesson plans. My Spanish has greatly improved during my time with Susan. I am looking forward to learning French with her next. Thanks again Susan.
Susan is an excellent teacher! She taught me French when I didn't know a single word, and now I have the knowledge and confidence to speak. She has in-depth grammatical knowledge and experience that are assets for any language teacher. I truly do highly recommend!
Susan has been teaching me French for 1 year. She is organized, kind and prepares every lesson adapted to my personal learning style. The lessons are dynamic and entertaining so I truly want to come to class, which is a rare gem to find. I have studied with many different teachers, and no one compares to her care and attention. I HIGHLY recommend Susan !
Susan is a great tutor for french, qualified, and is very invested in her students. You need to put in the work if you want to learn the language and she provides you the tools you need for that. She sits with you to practice, correct your French, and answer questions. She is a pleasure to work with.
Susan is probably the best teacher I have ever encountered. She is very patient when explaining the intricacies of the French language- and she does it in a way that makes it fun and therefore easy to remember. I’m amazed at how quickly my speaking skills have improved in such a short time. My favourite part of our time together is always our conversation practice. Susan has a non-judgemental approach to her teaching style which helps me feel relaxed and willing to go out on a limb. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your learning and someone who is passionate about their work, look no further. I highly recommend Susan to anyone learning French as a beginner or even for those who simply need to brush-up on their skills.
We have had the great fortune of working with Susan since the fall of 2020, and we could not be happier. We acquired her services on recommendation from our child’s FI teacher, to assist our 7-year-old with French immersion vocabulary and reading support. Over this time, Susan has proved herself to be caring, professional, knowledgeable and patient, and has developed a wonderful rapport with our child, who is extremely fond of her. Additionally, I have observed a vast improvement in my child’s reading comprehension, word recognition, and confidence with the French language overall. Based on this, I highly recommend Susan!
I highly recommend Susan because she is the best tutor/teacher you could find.
She is not only professional, she is also understanding and empathetic and she really cares about your improvement in the process of learning a langage.
I have been learning English with Susan for almost one year and without her I would have been lost.She is so patient.
She helps me to gain more confidence in me.She always adapts to my needs and encourage me when I feel discouraged.
I am so grateful to Susan for her professionalism, her patience, her kindness.I’ve been taking Spanish lessons with Susan for the last few months and I can’t believe how far I’ve come! Susan is not only professional and encouraging, but also makes lessons enjoyable. I can’t recommend her enough if you’re serious about improving your Spanish.
Susan is a wonderful teacher. I've been learning french from her from the past three months and in every class, I find her teaching as awesome as she is. She would go the extra mile in helping you with some practical technicalities of the language . I would highly recommend her for those who want to learn French.
P.S. She gives you a lot of homework to practise at home as well, a great way to learn more.Though, its totally upto you if you want that or not ;)I had classes with Susan for 2 years they were always professionally prepared with my needs in mind. It was obvious that she has lots of experience from the start she made me feel comfortable and guided my learning. She’s certainly the best teacher I’ve had.
Susan has been tutorIng me in French for the past two years. She is patient, kind and has a strong understanding of the French language. She speaks fluently and her lessons are engaging and helped me to build my confidence speaking in my second language. Susan also took the time to assess my French level and provided me with tools to improve my written skills. Working with Susan has been a lot of fun and I would strongly recommend her as a tutor. She was very flexible with my schedule and made me enjoy learning French again.
Gracias profesora! Susan was my teacher in Madrid for 2 years and helped me improve a lot. She always had wonderful lessons prepared and she helped me gain confidence with the language. Speaking a new language was intimidating and hard at the beginning for me, but I felt comfortable and relaxed with her as my teacher. She is a great teacher and also a great person.
Susan taught me English and French in Madrid, Spain for several years. Her classes were interesting and I advanced quickly with her because she challenged me and also made it fun. I highly recommend Susan if you want to enjoy your time while learning a language, she is an excellent teacher.
Susan was the best Spanish teacher I have ever had! I have done a lot of private classes and never had someone so attentive. She has a deep understanding of Spanish grammar, and has a special touch when teaching it that makes it so clear. She is patient and kind and her energy makes the class enjoyable. Such a fantastic experience learning with Susan ! Thank you for how much you have helped me.
Susan is an incredible French teacher - she is patient and encouraging. My confidence to correspond in French has improved significantly thanks to Susan. I would highly recommend!
Susan is a great professional. She was teaching me private English classes in Madrid (Spain). She identifies quickly all the weaknesses and needs of every student and works hard to strengthen them. Her communication skills are great and provides you all the information you need to keep studying by yourself at home.
In general I could say she has all the knowledge, expertise and skills to be a top rated teacher.My experience with her was great. My French improved a lot thanks to his classes. Highly recommended!
Susan is a great teacher. She is very passionate about what she does and makes each lesson interesting at the same time as she has the ability to explain things in a clear and understandable way. She really helped me improve my Spanish. I highly recommend her!
Susan is the reason I not only continue to master the English language, but have also come to love it. She is patient, thorough, and passionate about her work, which all become very apparent after just one session. I would recommend Susan a hundred times to anyone looking for an ESL teacher - I promise you will not be disappointed!
My favorite teacher, really! I´m learning a lot with her, English and French, I´m spanish guy, living in Toronto. She is close, friendly and very professional. Highly recommended. Muchas gracias profe.
I worked as an ESL teacher with Susan for 2 years and can highly recommend her. She is reliable, fun and knowledgeable and will make learning English very enjoyable. She has experience working with children and adults of all ages.
Susan is a rare gem of a teacher. In addition to being creative, she has a great understanding of English grammar rules (and its many exceptions) and how to teach them. Susan genuinely cares and takes the time to ensure that her students progress in order to reach their goals. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their teacher.
Susan is a great teacher! In her years as an English teacher in Spain she worked hard to get the best results for her students and they really loved her. They would regularly put in requests at customer services for her to be their teacher again the following year!
It was a pleasure working with Susan. She always came prepared with exercises and a clear plan for each lesson. My level of speaking and writing significantly improved thanks to her! On top of that she always had a smile on her face. I'd recommend her to anyone looking to improve their language skills!
Susan es muy buena profesora! Se prepara las clases y tiene un método muy bueno para aprender! Corrige los fallos y apunta todo el tiempo! Sin duda, la recomendaría!
I would deeply recommend Susan as teacher. She knows not only how to lead you to the next level... but also she is able to engage your goals and adapt herself to your needs perfectly, no matter your level, age, gender and so on...
Susan es un profesora estupenda. Sus clases son divertidas, dinámicas. Sin ninguna duda, en cuanto pueda, intentaré volver a mejorar mi nivel de inglés con ella. Gracias súper Susan!
Susan is an excellent teacher and has helped me improve my English. She was very understanding and helpful when I struggled during out sessions. She is extremely punctual and remained loyal to her prices outlined at the beginning of our sessions. I highly recommend Susan as a teacher.
This recommendation comes with absolute confidence in her exceptional ability to not only teach but speak the multiples languages she has learned from her studies as well as her life experience in other countries. I have personally been tutored by Susan and I can speak from experience of her deep knowledge of languages. She is fluent and educated on the different languages she speaks. Not to go overboard here but I recently had a friendly discussion with a woman from Honduras who was only able to speak spanish. I was able to have a conversation with her for over 2 hours for work without any issues. Her nature is to teach people her gift of translation. This was not something I would have been able to accomplish had I not met Susan. So if your considering using her for a Tutor. I highly recommend. :)
