Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 3 Feb 2018
Hello! I'm Sara.
I’m a language teacher, writer, translator, and linguist on projects in AI and speech recognition software.
I have a master’s degree in linguistics with a specialisation in accents, second-language speech-learning and experimental phonetics. As part of my bachelor’s degree I also studied Latin, Sanskrit and historical Indo-European linguistics.
I grew up bilingual (English and Swedish). I speak French, German and Italian, and I’m currently learning Russian, Polish and Finnish.
I obviously love languages!
Apart from the UK and Sweden, I have lived in the Netherlands, Belgium and Hungary.
I love meeting new people through different languages.

Ik als leerkracht
Because of my own passion for languages, I’m enthusiastic about helping others work towards their language-learning goals.
I love words, expressions and their etymology. I’m interested in the nuances in language that many overlook, so you can trust me to pay attention to detail!
I’m good at identifying my students’ strengths and weaknesses in language acquisition.
With your interests and goals in mind, I will make sure that the material, as well as my own speaking style, level and pace, suit your current level and learning style.
As you progress, we can move on to more advanced topics and exercises.
It should be challenging but also fun!

Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I combine practical exercises with free conversation to help you improve your knowledge of grammar, specific features of pronunciation and colloquial use, as well as your ability to use these skills naturally in your speech.
I can help you...
- to get a neutral, standard British accent.
- to improve your confidence, fluency and vocabulary.
- to polish your academic or creative writing skills.
- to prepare for an English exam.
- to craft an eye-catching CV and personal statement.
Let me know if you have any other requests, as I enjoy tailoring the lessons to specific themes, be it grammar-related or in a specific field.
I look forward to meeting you!

It is super nice how the lessons are connecting and how Sara is modifying them accordingly to the needs. In the time it is more and more visible and I appreciate it a lot because it shows Sara is really caring about the individual struggles of her students. Thanks, Sara!
