Suzanne (Suzie) Weiler
Born and raised in Vancouver, Canada, Suzie came to Germany in 2005, fuelled by a fascination for the German language and a bit of wanderlust. Suzie’s grounding philosophy is that with hard work and creativity, people can escape the narrow confines of ‘either-or’ thinking, and flourish within a ‘both-and’ mindset. In that spirit, Suzie completed her M.A. in Philosophy at the University of Cologne while simultaneously pursuing a career as a Business English trainer. With her Master’s degree and LCCI and CELTA teaching certifications under her belt, Suzie founded Weiler & Co. Global English and became a tenured lecturer of English for Specific Purposes at the TH Köln. There, her regular courses included Professional Ethics, Negotiating Across Cultures, and Academic English for professors and lecturers. After a nine year tenure at the Suzie TH, Suzie decided to focus entirely on delivering intercultural and professional English training in her role as Head Trainer at Weiler & Co.
