About Me
italki teacher since Jan 5, 2015Interest topicMedical & HealthcarePets & AnimalsTravel
I am dual qualified as an ESL and also English literature teacher. I've been teaching for over 22 years in several different countries outside of my native U.K. When I am not studying Portuguese, I love to potter (work with enjoyment but no strict aim) in my garden and walk in the forest.Me as a Teacher
I have a Masters in English and a Post Graduate Certificate in Education as well as a CELTA (ESL training) and have been teaching English for over 22 years both in the classroom and online.
My goal as a teacher is to get to know you, understand your goals, discover your particular challenges with English and then help you to achieve success.
I have taught General English, Business English and also had experience with IELTS. I really enjoy teaching people to be more confident in using their English and achieving success.
I fully believe emotion is the foundation of learning and the best lessons are those that are driven by genuine engagement and appropriate challenge.My lessons & teaching style
I am able to adapt my lessons to your particular needs. My teaching is rooted in best educational practice but is still informal and fun! I offer homework and feedback that supports what you are learning.My teaching material

The experience with Sarah has been amazing. After attending lessons with many different teachers I´m only learning from her. Sarah is extremely professional and supportive and can quickly understand your needs as a student and address them properly.
In a couple of weeks, I went from barely been able to make a presentation in English to sound almost like a native.
Absolutely recommend trying her method.
