MY ENGLISH TEACHER
~ Wendy Abrego
“Most of us, foreigners, speak english right ? First we learnt it at school as the universal language and second the anglo saxon culture has always been part of our lives : tv series, music, movies, books and so on and so forth. That’s what a foreigner feels when he lives in America, especially in NYC. But it’s wrong. Must of us get by with english and that’s irritating because you want the people to understand you in all the shades of your thoughts.
At least it’s what I feel. Thus I wanted to improve my english… As a matter of fact, I have a great teacher. She often lights a bulb because if anything, she is able to give an explanation to every questions. Actually she understands why her student don’t understand and she always find a way for her – we are all women- to get the sense of the rule. Her name Susan Neri-Friedwald. Check her out.”

“I met Susan during the Toefl Preparation class at the Borough of Manhattan Community College. I think she is an amazing teacher. She knows how to teach English and how to explain all the English grammar rules. She was able to prepare every student in every section of the Toefl, making everybody more confident with their own knowledge of English. Susan was just amazing! She loves her work and she loves working with students willing to know and learn. She was able to make everybody relax about the test and I arrived at my Toefl test aware that I had had a great preparation.
I had been so scared of the Toefl, but with her I enjoyed all the process that brought me to achieve my desired score. I think that if all the teachers of my life were like Susan, I could love every subject. She just makes you love every thing with her clear way of explaining and the patience to repeat what is not easy to understand. Besides, she is also a really available person in that she really cares about the students. She will always be helpful with students that have shown interest and a willing behavior. I feel so lucky that I have met Susan. She is just amazing and I recommend her to everybody. She is a really wonderful teacher and person.”

“Hello, Professor Susan
This is RONGRONG DONG from your speech [class]. I’m really appreciate with you because I love the way you teaching. Before I think people can’t understand me because my accent. After took 3 classes, I realize my problem is not only the accent, but also the pause, the breath. I start understand why people can’t understand me most time. Some friends tell me I can find the problem by listen myself when I speak, I can’t hear my voice when I speak. But they said they can; I don’t know how they can do that. I mean how they can hear themselves when they speak. For me, it’s unbelievable.
Tell you those because I want to tell you, my poorly pronounciation has been tolerating me long long time. I almost give up. It feels so embarrassing to speak English in front of other people specially the people who know me. I had tried a lot way and it didn’t help me. That make me want to cry sometimes.However, after took your class, I feel I know where I’m wrong when I speak English. Your teaching help me repick up my confidence. I really appreciate you. Thank you, Professor Susan! You give me the hope.”
“Please give me advice as much as you think I need. I’m really appreciate. Thank you.”
“Please forgive me to send you an email about myself. I just reviewed what you taught today, and feel really useful. And I feel I like a super man, have a lot of energy to learn English now. That’s why I send you an email at the late night. Thank you!”
~ Good night!

“Thank you for helping us with the relaxation exercise. It was very nice. Be safe.”
~ Liliana Campos.
“Professor Susan is the best professor I’ve had so far. She knows what she’s talking about and she knows how to really teach the course as she is very informative. Susan is very engaging too and she ensures the class really understands what the topics are. She goes to her student one by one in order for her to assess the speech difficulty one has and then help the person make a progress throughout the course. I love the positive and entertaining vibes she brings every single class. She establishes a good rapport with each student to help them feel comfortable in class as the course dwells on working out on your speech difficulties.
~
The grades that she gives are also justifiable. This is the only class I always look forward to attending every week because of the professor. I want to recommend her to other students, especially the ESL students, as they will learn a lot from this woman. She knows what shes doing and on top of her game all the time. Also, I want to commend her to the English department as she is an outstanding professor. Ive been in school for 16yrs and in the professional world for 3yrs and I’ve never seen anyone teach like her. BMCC is lucky to have this professor. I hope she teaches other courses too and Ill definitely get her classes.”

“I just love her. She is a really good professor, her class is engaging and funny, and the most important thing everyone feels comfortable asking questions.”

“Dear Professor Susan,
I hope you are in good health. I attended your ESL 95 class last summer. Throughout the semester, I learned a lot from you, not only academically and culturally, but also personally. Even though I took the class remotely, you managed to make it easy and manageable to understand. You have helped me tremendously in improving my language skills. I am forever grateful for your impact.”
~ Sumaia Alhemyari computer science and cybersecurity major
“Dear professor Susan,
… I really appreciate your time and your kindness. I was so lucky that I had a chance to meet you and to learn from you. People say that you get to know others in the hardest times.

I hope you are doing great. I wanted to let you know that I got accepted to all of the four colleges I applied for around a month and a half ago. Then, I decided to go with one I wanted from being, “John Jay College For Criminal Justice” to continue in my passion to serve justices with my computer science major. I know going there was possible only because of you and wish every school has at least one professor like you. I am grateful for you forever. Your student.”

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS FOR SUSAN’S ESL HYPNOSIS DOWNLOADS
“I had hypnosis in order to improve my English of speaking last semester from Susan Neri(-Friedwald) who was my English teacher in writing class. Whenever I saw the TV programs about hypnosis in Korea, I thought it was kind of fake so that it was hard for me to believe the result, feeling, and reaction of that. Furthermore, I thought that people just pretended like it was working. However, I’ve believed the hypnosis since I had the hypnosis from her. It was really amazing and I could feel something make me different in my body. Also, I could feel something hot at that time. It was working.
After finish having the hypnosis, I called my friend who is an American on the phone to talk about something. When I started talking, my friend said that you were very different today with usual. Something seemed to be comfortable when you spoke English. I said that I had the hypnosis from my teacher. After that, I realized that it was working. Therefore, my feeling so great and I seemed to be able to speak English as much as I wanted. It was good experience for me to improve speaking English. I will never forget.”
~ Somin lim
“Hypnosis gave me full confidence..it is very helpful for improving English and my future… I’m sure that my future is more exciting.”
~ KIM, Kyungmi-
“Dear Susan,
I greatly enjoyed your hypnosis sessions! …. Analyzing my behavior and the reasons behind it made me realize that I was overconcerned with unimportant issues concentrating on and worrying about matters that don’t really bother people I communicate with. At the same time you gave us simple solutions to issues that truly had to be addressed.It resulted in my being more comfortable with the way I speak and concentrate on important areas like correct pronunciation and expanding my vocabulary rather than obsessing over my accent and not always constructing grammatically flawless sentences. I am very grateful for your sessions and to you! Thank you once again!! Have a lovely day”
~ Natasha (Vorompiova)

“Very Enjoyable! Haven’t felt so relaxed after anything else. I feel more grounded, less stressed and happy after the session…Thank you Susan.”
~ Mariam Farooq – Real Estate Developer
“Susan is one of the most warm and inviting individuals I have ever met. Her constant and kind presence during sessions really helps me feel safe and taken care of. Her soothing voice really helps to relax the mind and dig deep within and her hypnosis techniques are right on. I have made leaps and bounds with some struggles in my life. I have seen more powerful results with hypnosis than I have ever seen with any other therapy I have tried.
She has helped me with behavioral and emotional issues. Sometimes issues were even resolved after one session. I highly recommend Susan to any and all of my family, friends and colleagues. I invite you to experience the fascinating and powerful journey of hypnosis from the healing and ever-present Susan (Gayle) Neri-Friedwald.”
~ Tracy Rickard, Client
“It was very relaxing and calm during the hypnosis, but I didn’t feel a big change [at first]. I think my mind needed more time. After a couple days, I felt much more confidence, it was amazing! Hypnosis really works and Susan is wonderful! Thanks again for hypnotizing us, I can’t wait to have your CD (Download).”
~ Love, Csilla (Varadi)
