English with a University of Michigan Graduate & Published Writer

Susan W.

I am an expert in my native English language. I am a nationally published writer, an award-winning speaker, and a highly effective teacher. I speak with the clear Midwestern American accent long favored in national broadcasting.

I have taught students from five continents. I teach English to adults, professionals, college students, and older teens who bring the assignments or materials they want to master.

Our lessons are lively and productive. We work hard, laugh often, and relish learning together. My students build skill, confidence, and momentum.

I teach American English that works—in conversation, pronunciation, vocabulary, reading, writing, grammar, public speaking, and presentations. My ESL students mastered Shakespeare. My ESL business students built a profitable American business.

Bring the English you need to master—everyday conversation, an article, assignment, workplace document, speech, or presentation. I will help you understand it, speak it, write it, and use it with confidence.

I wrote four national publications issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, another federal agency, and the American Bar Association. I also won a writing competition to join a University of Michigan Law School law review.

The owner of the international language and business institute where I taught wrote:

“Susan W., the instructor, is a marvelously talented English instructor who has shown herself to be a true friend to students and a highly effective teacher. Her classes are characterized by her motivational enthusiasm and creative techniques. Students in her sections are invariably well-prepared for subsequent levels.”

I welcome interested students.
