Susie’s Story

I am a native English speaker who has worked at numerous adult education learning centers in addition to being a full-time high school English Language Development teacher.  In my training, I was taught for every hour of teaching there are two hours of planning. I have found this to be very true. I am dedicated and meticulous in my preparation. I have taught online and in-person through economic downturns and the pandemic. I have had the pleasure of working with numerous cultures spanning five continents. I have worked with scores of teachers and attended numerous conferences. In short, I am a life-long learner and collaborator. 

I have discovered that not one textbook or app captures everything that a student needs to learn English. I found myself searching for ideas, strategies, and content to support my students. Over and over again, I was creating materials to enhance student learning. I realized I was creating a successful model for teaching English by curating foundational materials that work.

For three consecutive years, I have been nominated for Teacher of the Year. I have been receiving amazing comments from my students and administrators alike. "You are a great teacher!" And, "I don't want to leave your classroom!" These comments are wonderful anecdotal evidence that fuels my passion. My joy for teaching has inspired me to create Catching English. Think of it as a guided fishing trip, where I take you to the spots with the best fish. All you need is the desire to learn. Soon, you will be on your way to English mastery.

It's a great day when my students acclaim, "Ahh, I get it!" Shall I say, "Ahh, I caught it!" 

With Gratitude,
