Skype is an effective way to receive classes during this difficult time for the world. I adapt every single class I teach to the student in question and their personal needs. My classes are dynamic and interesting to help the student feel engaged while learning or perfecting a new language. I create a specific structure and program for every person that I teach.
I am a French, Spanish and English teacher with more than 10 years teaching experience.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in French English translation where I minored in Spanish, a TESOL diploma and a Masters of Education (MEd) in Language in Literacy Education, which has helped me learn how the brain and humans work when acquiring a new language. I have worked at the University of Toronto teaching English and at Humber College as a French teacher. I have been working for over 10 years as a teacher of both French and English and have experience with young children and adults alike.
I have lived in Spain for more than 5 years and South America for 1 year. I have just come back to Canada after living abroad from teaching English at The British Council in Madrid, Spain to children and adults. I have experience preparing people for exams such as IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge First/Advanced/Proficiency.

Perfect! Susan is an outstanding tutor who continues to impress me by adjusting the structure of my lessons so that it is tailored to my style of learning. She provides the perfect amount of challenge to ensure you are making realistic progress towards your goal. As a beginner to learning a new language, I highly recommend Susan as a tutor because she is extremely patient and easy to practice conversations with, without feeling stressed or embarrassed. Above all, she makes learning fun and exciting!
Susan is probably the best teacher I have ever encountered. She is very patient when explaining the intricacies of the French language- and she does it in a way that makes it fun and therefore easy to remember. Iâm amazed at how quickly my speaking skills have improved in such a short time. My favourite part of our time together is always our conversation practice. Susan has a non-judgemental approach to her teaching style which helps me feel relaxed and willing to go out on a limb. If youâre looking for someone who truly cares about your learning and someone who is passionate about their work, look no further. I highly recommend Susan to anyone learning French as a beginner or even for those who simply need to brush-up on their skills.
We have had the great fortune of working with Susan since the fall of 2020, and we could not be happier. We acquired her services on recommendation from our childâs FI teacher, to assist our 7-year-old with French immersion vocabulary and reading support. Over this time, Susan has proved herself to be caring, professional, knowledgeable and patient, and has developed a wonderful rapport with our child, who is extremely fond of her. Additionally, I have observed a vast improvement in my childâs reading comprehension, word recognition, and confidence with the French language overall. Based on this, I highly recommend Susan Zahradnik!
I highly recommend Susan because she is the best tutor/teacher you could find.
She is not only professional, she is also understanding and empathetic and she really cares about your improvement in the process of learning a langage.
I have been learning English with Susan for almost one year and without her I would have been lost.She is so patient.
She helps me to gain more confidence in me.She always adapts to my needs and encourage me when I feel discouraged.
I am so grateful to Susan for her professionalism, her patience, her kindness.
Iâve been taking Spanish lessons with Susan for the last few months and I canât believe how far Iâve come! Susan is not only professional and encouraging, but also makes lessons enjoyable. I canât recommend her enough if youâre serious about improving your Spanish.
Susan is a wonderful teacher. I've been learning french from her from the past three months and in every class, I find her teaching as awesome as she is. She would go the extra mile in helping you with some practical technicalities of the language . I would highly recommend her for those who want to learn French.
P.S. She gives you a lot of homework to practise at home as well, a great way to learn more.Though, its totally upto you if you want that or not ;)
I had classes with Susan for 2 years they were always professionally prepared with my needs in mind. It was obvious that she has lots of experience from the start she made me feel comfortable and guided my learning. Sheâs certainly the best teacher Iâve had.
Susan has been tutorIng me in French for the past two years. She is patient, kind and has a strong understanding of the French language. She speaks fluently and her lessons are engaging and helped me to build my confidence speaking in my second language. Susan also took the time to assess my French level and provided me with tools to improve my written skills. Working with Susan has been a lot of fun and I would strongly recommend her as a tutor. She was very flexible with my schedule and made me enjoy learning French again.
Gracias profesora! Susan was my teacher in Madrid for 2 years and helped me improve a lot. She always had wonderful lessons prepared and she helped me gain confidence with the language. Speaking a new language was intimidating and hard at the beginning for me, but I felt comfortable and relaxed with her as my teacher. She is a great teacher and also a great person.
Susan taught me English and French in Madrid, Spain for several years. Her classes were interesting and I advanced quickly with her because she challenged me and also made it fun. I highly recommend Susan if you want to enjoy your time while learning a language, she is an excellent teacher.
Susan was the best Spanish teacher I have ever had! I have done a lot of private classes and never had someone so attentive. She has a deep understanding of Spanish grammar, and has a special touch when teaching it that makes it so clear. She is patient and kind and her energy makes the class enjoyable. Such a fantastic experience learning with Susan ! Thank you for how much you have helped me.
