Me as a Teacher
I have been a teacher for 13 years. I love teaching and I also love learning
The word most students use to describe me is "patient." Learning takes time, and you will progress at your own pace.
Note: I don't like to raise prices for my students! You will see many different prices available and this is because I do not change the price my students pay after they start with me.
My lessons & teaching style
Everyone learns differently, and I enjoy getting to know my students and finding the best way to teach each person. I use a lot of videos to create conversation, but I will also focus on a specific skill and work on it as long as a student needs. Every student I work with is unique and so my classes are never exactly the same.

Conversations with Sarah are great! I always have several interesting phrases written down. She is a positive, inspiring and open-minded person.
