Susan
My name is Susan and I have been teaching English for 3 years. My teaching career started at Action Language in Newcastle, helping refugees and asylum seekers gain various English qualifications in order to secure jobs and a life in the UK. I then taught in a public high school in Spain, teaching English while struggling to form a coffee order in Spanish with the help of my students. Many of the older teens in their last year of high school then went on to the Baccalaure and are now studying English at university. Last year, I worked in a private language school in Kedzierzyn-Kozle, Poland, teaching students from 4-75 years old.
It was a fantastic year, where I got to travel around the country as well as meet some amazing people, and I am pleased to say my Polish was ‘comprehendible'!
I moved to South Yorkshire in September 2018 and began working at the wonderful NESE. Alongside this, I am also studying for my Master’s degree in TESOL and Linguistics in Sheffield. This school has given me a great opportunity to teach students from all backgrounds and of various levels and for that, I am deeply grateful. The teaching team is very friendly and always ready with a smile and a cup of tea, but it’s the students that make our job so enjoyable and worthwhile.
