Hello! My name is Sarah and I am a former Californian who fell in with Europe. A lover of languages, literature, architecture, design, culture, travel, and adventures. I am a humanist and believe knowledge is "constructed" through engaging direct experiences. I am inspired by designing and teaching modern lessons that are based on your passions, curiosity, goals, and learning style.
Each of my students is unique, but I typically use short videos or clips (which you can watch beforehand or together) as a starting point from which we do various grammar, vocab work, and conversation activities that are relevant to your interests and ambitions. At the beginning of your study, we will set your target, a general timeline, and organize your study plan around that.
I have taught basically every type of student, including my 7 year-old son English! If you have a specific goal like passing the FCE or IELTS, I would recommend a structured formal study plan. Or perhaps you have a more ambiguous goal of becoming a "confident English speaker"? If that's the case, we can organize different simulations and practice conversations on some of your favorite subjects, your profession, or current topics. It is ultimately up to you because it is YOUR fluency we are developing.
My goal is to create an engaging constructivist workshop climate where you tap into your background knowledge and connect it to the "real world" as you are actively building your own associations and understandings IN ENGLISH and opening new doors and opportunities for your future.
I look forward to hearing from you and setting up a free trial 30 minute meeting to see if we are a good fit!
Cheers!
