Stephen Founder, suddesNET

Active clients include early learners as young as 6 years of age, to seasoned professionals, academics and business people. I possess a strong background in education, in both formal and non-formal setting. Plus, I have the benefit of more than 25 years’ experience in management and leadership roles.

With a unique combination of education, skills and abilities, I connect easily with students, working with thgem to improve their English, thereby enabling them to realize exciting, life-changing opportunities. I appreciate the practice, dedication and hard work needed to perfect skills in any new language. However, I also make sure tgis is achieved in a fun and enriching experience. I believe in the importance of correct pronunciation, power of the right word at the right time, timely phrases, and an awareness of the language-culture link. Advanced learners, those that already have a good foundation in the language, can draw on my experience, not only as a language coach, but also as a mentor.
