Susan C.
Private tutor in Verona, NJ
Education
I earned a BA in English from Cedarville University, with an emphasis in TEFL. Before choosing a TEFL emphasis, I was a "straight English" major, studying literature and writing. I excelled in my creative writing classes which prompted my professor to call me in the dorm and encourage me to pursue getting published. While in my junior year, I was awarded a scholarship and award for excellence in the preparation of language and literature. Earlier in life, while I was an eighth grader, I competed in spelling bees at town, county and state levels and won second place in the state of New Jersey. (I'm not trying to hide by not having a photo, but I'm having a technical issue with uploading a photo to this site.)
Experience
I have 10 years' experience as a journalist and am also an indie author of several books for adults and children. In the '90s, for three months each, I taught English as a foreign language in Debrecen, Hungary and in Riga, Latvia. More recently, I have tutored a Korean man living in the U.S. and taught conversational English online to students all over the world on Cambly. I also passed demo classes for teaching English for two other different sites, VIP Kid and Amazing Talker, but would rather be independent. I've been preparing for tutoring by gathering and studying different materials for different niches of English study.

Hobbies
In addition to writing and reading, I enjoy singing in my church choir and puppetry. I write my own puppetry material. I like to cook healthy and delicious foods and do dance exercise. I'm also beginning to do YouTube and hope to upload more videos that will be helpful to students. I will update with a link soon.
