English (SAT/ACT), Composition, ESL (TOEFL) & German

I offer a free phone/online/in-person consult including a needs assessment to arrive at a customized strategic plan of learning with clearly defined learning goals, be it for tests (SAT, TOEFL etc.) college, business or travel here and abroad. I prefer 90-minute rather than 60-minute sessions as my experience has shown this to be the most effective interval of instruction. However, in specific instances, a 60-minute session too may yield the desired outcome. Rates are negotiable based on ...

Susann works very hard to make sure that what her students learn is applicable to their needs. My internship is with a clothing company in Hamburg so we specifically targeted appropriate terminology for the fashion industry in addition to general vocabulary, grammar, and declension. If you want to learn to speak German (or further your ability to speak) in a truly wonderful and professional atmosphere, I very highly recommend Susann. I'm sad to have to leave such a fantastic tutor, but the internship and Hamburg is calling.

Dr. Susann is a great tutor. She is filled with knowledge and energy that makes students embrace learning and furthering their education. She is very detailed and gives positive feedback with every assignment. She takes her time with her students and does not stop until the work is complete. With the help of Dr. Susann I earned a B+ and learned a lot about writing during the process. I recommend Dr. Susann to everyone, she's great!!

I've found Dr. Susann to be precise, caring and intuitive while working with my son who is a sophomore at OSU. She has been able to pinpoint his learning styles as well as his strengths and weaknesses in a very short period of time. My son likes her varied approaches at driving the main points home while keeping it creative and interesting. I am very impressed and believe she has a passion for her work and it shows. Thank you


Amal F. from Galloway, OH

Best professor I ever had, she is so dedicated to her teaching and has a great respect for ESL students. Wonderful and loving teacher. I highly recommend to everybody to take her lessons, register her lessons with your both eyes closed, that’s how much her lessons are very understandable and fun.

Susann is a perfect TOEFL teacher for me. She is a very experienced, patient and easygoing teacher. She has her unique teaching technique. I am much more confident right now. I believe if I met her earlier I would have gotten a higher score in my TOEFL test. We have scheduled my next test. I desire to pass it successfully. In my class, Susann corrected my pronunciation. I haven't noticed it before. We practiced some grammar problems. I have enriched my vocabulary. I realized I should concentrate on the main points of a reading or listening paragraph instead of focusing on some details. Learning English is a long term task. It takes time. But I am sure I could improve very fast as long as I have an efficient method and make more efforts on English. I do appreciate Susann. She encouraged me and gave me inspiration. She also cares for my interests. Her assignment is based on some stuff I like most. Susann is an excellent teacher. Thanks a lot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Today, I got my score of TOFEL. After studying from my tutor Susann, I got 97 this time. While I only got 86 two months ago. I am so excited about it. I appreciate Susann so much. She is really a amazing teacher.

Dr. Susann has been a great tutor for my German. Several years ago I took conventional German while in school. The years have passed and my German skills have dwindled. In preparation for an upcoming vacation with my wife, I decided to brush up on some survival German. Dr. Susann has made my first couple lessons extremely interesting. She is easy to understand and very patient. In studying a foreign language like German, it is a great tool to have a one-on-one teacher when you are practicing pronunciation (no one wants to stand in the middle of a crowded room trying to pronounce many of the complex words German requires). She has actually helped me understand concepts of the language that I never could grasp while I was in school. If you are an adult and wish to build on a lifetime of learning, I highly recommend Dr. Susann, as she will make learning something as daunting as German seem like a small mole hill to conquer. For parents: As someone who took 4 years of high school German and after less than a decade forgot most of it, I would suggest hiring a one-on-one tutor for your child. Especially in the beginning when grammar rules are new and confusing, it will build an amazing foundation for the rest of the language.


Jenna H. from Columbus, OH

This is my first time using WyzAnt. I needed a German tutor right away due to time constraints. Susann responded immediately and we had a lesson scheduled by the end of the week. Susann was extremely accommodating and based the lessons around exactly what I needed, not a prefabricated lesson. I passed my exam with flying colors due to Susann.


Jacob T. from Columbus, OH

Dr. Susann was very flexible in working with my son, due to his schedule conflicts. More importantly, she was able to get through some basic concepts that have improved his writing and his anxiety about writing immensely. She is well versed in what it takes to write a successful essay and how to translate topics into the essay type that the test is looking for. We would highly recommend Dr. Susann.


Mary P. from Dublin, OH

Dr. Susann has tutored my daughter on the subjects of SAT reading and writing for the past a couple of months. Dr. Susann is professional and punctual. She is excellent on teaching the subjects of writing and reading. She knows her stuff very well and is able to communicate her knowledge to students very efficiently. Now my daughter has improved significantly in her writing and grammar. She has not only done well in her school English writing assignments, but has gained confidence in her ability to write any essay successfully on her own. Needless to say, I am very pleased with Dr. Susann and highly recommend her to anyone who needs help on their reading and writing.


Lana N. from Galena, OH

I've had a clear and professional evaluation of my readiness to take the English exam. I would recommend WyzAnt and specifically Dr. Susann to any person seeking the tutoring services. Thank you, Lana.

She was a good listener and a good adviser.She explained to me everything I needed for the TOEFL test, and I believe that she is going to help me a lot through my studies.

First time using WyzAnt. I am very pleased with our first lesson! It was a great learning experience, paced perfectly for my level. Looking forward to more lessons with Dr. Susann.


John C. from Ashville, OH

Dr. Susann does a great job at tasked with teaching me and my son German. We are new and enjoying our new journey down the path to fluency.


Fred H. from Columbus, OH

I have been tutored by Ms M. She customized how she taught German to how I learned. She figured out how I learned through questions and observation. Asking questions about the German language was encouraged so that everything is being understood even if that means re-explaning the topic / concept multiple times. She plans out each session and gives work to do outside of each session. To figure out the amount of work she would ask what else was going on. The best way to get the most out of the sessions is to do the assigned work the best you can. After each class on Wyzant she provides an overview of what was covered during the session and the work to be completed before the next one. The language sessions are much better than the classes a person would take in school. I have had 3.5 years of German language classes in school. I think this is much better because the lessons are customized and one on one.
