Sara

I came into italki never having used this platform and with no prior language learning experience. So to say I was a little nervous about it was an understatement. Out of luck I happened to pick Sara for my first teacher and have never looked back. Sara is fun, patient and in general an all around great teacher. She has made me feel completely comfortable and excited to learn Italian. Sara is always on time, energetic, and prepared for our lessons. Our lessons are never boring & I look forward to them every week. As of writing this I have completed 30 lessons with Sara and would recommend her to anyone looking to learn a language. My Italian has gone from not knowing anything to being able to have basic conversation, listen to & understand Italian music, read Italian stories, and I was even able to navigate Italy on a recent trip :). So stop reading this and book your first lesson!!! The button is over there ---> Grazie Mille Sara!

Sara is an incredible tutor and has been wonderful to work with for over a year! My spouse and I started Italian with Sara last spring to prepare for a trip to Europe and continued lessons until this last December. Through all these lessons, she provided great care, patience, and understanding in our learning. She provided resources and useful dialogue practice sessions to help us grasp interactions and situations. This year, we decided to start learning Japanese because Sara speaks this very well (and studied it in Japan!). She was very gracious to help us on our Japanese journey and the plan is to spend this entire year learning the language like we did with Italian last year! Sara is a great teacher and is open to feedback if something is not working or if you have a crazy time of life and need to take a small break. I would highly recommend Sara for your language journey whether it be Italian, Japanese, or some other language she knows!

Sara is very patient and knowledgeable, Sara is a great teacher

I look forward to my lesson with Sara, it is the highlight of my day! I am learning Italian with her, and it has been a joy. I wish high school language classes were this involved. Every lesson she starts out by opening the floor to discuss anything you want, in the language you are learning. It gives me the opportunity to try and say new words and new sentences. About my weekend, what I have going on later in the week, or just general small talk. Then she gives the chance to ask questions from last weeks lesson and homework. Then she gets into the lesson and grammar. It is always very conversational but she does challenge me. I really like working out of her recommended text book, i honestly look forward to the homework she assigns. Sara speaks many languages, she clearly is a gifted linguist. She teaches as well as she speaks! I wish I would have skipped over a year of Duolingo and joined her lessons sooner!

Thank you for a wonderful lesson Sara. Grazie per la splendida lezione. I really enjoyed talking about so many interesting things. Mi è piaciuto davvero molto parlare di così tanti argomenti interessanti. Also thank you for the detailed notes. the corrections really help me to correct where I went wrong. Grazie anche per gli appunti dettagliati: le correzioni mi aiutano moltissimo a capire e correggere dove ho sbagliato.

That was a fantastic lesson. so much fun. I learned so many things. Thank you.
