United Kingdom
Susannah lives in Wimbledon. She read history at the University of York, worked in publishing and as an investment analyst before moving into the education world, first as a mother and then as a teacher. She has spent most of the last twenty-five years working at a prep school in south-west London in various capacities but mainly teaching years 5 and 6 and as a member of the leadership team. She has also worked one-to-one with children to build confidence and to reinforce key skills.
Susannah is fascinated by schools, in their almost infinite variety, and has always enjoyed advising parents and helping them navigate the complexities of the English school system both locally and further afield. ‘Working with children and parents is a privilege and the importance of finding the right school for the right child cannot be underestimated.’ She has three adult children (educated at state and independent schools, day and boarding) and two spaniels.
