MY STORY

Hi, I’m Susan—a proud wife, mom, and grandmother.


For the past 23 years, I’ve worked as a daycare provider, teaching Xhosa- and Afrikaans-speaking children how to communicate, understand, and thrive in English. Alongside this, I’ve had the privilege of helping their parents gain confidence in English, enabling them to support their children, secure better job opportunities, or even emigrate to the UK.


A natural progression in my journey was becoming an internationally qualified Online English Teacher. For the past two years, I’ve specialized in teaching OET Speaking (Occupational English Test) preparation online, empowering healthcare professionals to achieve their dreams of working abroad.


Additionally, I teach general English to private students, helping them build the skills and confidence to excel in both their personal and professional lives.


Teaching isn’t just a job for me—it’s my calling. It’s a passion that comes from the heart. My mission is simple yet profound: to help others lead happier, more fulfilled lives by mastering the English language.


My Motto

“Every decision has consequences, and you must be willing to face them.”


Apart from my husband, children and grandchild, my greatest joy lies in empowering others to acquire new skills and open doors to better opportunities. Whether it’s children, parents, or professionals, my goal is to make a meaningful difference in their lives through education.
