About Me
italki teacher since Apr 19, 2019Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I do love a few fundamentals! So, I am always on time, always prepared, and always offer an engaging and challenging class. But that's enough boring stuff!
My aim is also to bring a fun and inviting atmosphere to my students, to welcome them to experiment with the English language and get creative! So rather than just becoming a parroting robot, I encourage my students to speak just like a native speaker.
Speaking a foreign language isn't easy but it can be fun and engaging! My lessons & teaching style
For Elementary to Intermediate learners I offer short courses in Conversational, Business and Travel English.
For Intermediate to Advanced students I offer the same as above, as well as a course on Public Speaking.
I have had a lot of experience speaking in front of large audiences and am happy to share valuable tips on how to be an effective speaker.
Each class will use a new topic to learn new words, with the goal to gradually build up the students vocabulary. Grammar and sentence structures will also be practiced by allowing the student ample opportunities to speak.
The exact content can be tailored to the students needs and level, and can be agreed upon in the first lesson.My teaching material

Work Experience

English CoachI was an English Coach for one of the biggest Tech companies in the world. I had many great experiences teaching professionals at that time, and many of my students made great progress, were promoted and some even happily immigrated to America. I have an amazing reference from my Program Manager and many student testimonials.
The classes were all individually tailored to the students needs. My students were all of different levels but were all able to progress in a short period of time.
2013 - 2018
Private English TutorI taught private lessons to adults, teenagers and children. All classes were individually tailored to the needs of the students as agreed upon.
During this time I also taught in private schools and kindergartens, which I found rewarding and fun!
I have used the Brown, Macmillan, Young Explorer and many other teaching resources.

Sarah is passionate and warm-hearted. Having class with her has been a very enjoyable experience for me. Five lessons just finished so quickly while it has been productive. I learnt some daily conversations, some scenarios at work and also worked on my resume, which I'll definitely need some more practice. Thank you so so so much, Sarah!

Sarah is by far the teacher who has the most structured and sophisticated way to organize your learning journey to get the most of it and from yourself. She us dedicated and very professional. She identifies the areas where you need to develop. I will book again.
