Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 13. Apr 2015Thema von InteresseMusikTechFilmeReisenEssen
I'm Sarah. I've been teaching Italian and English for over 30 years, and I still enjoy every lesson.
My background is in pedagogy, learning psychology and educational methodology. I don't just know the language: I know how people learn it, where they get stuck, and how to help them move forward.
I work with adults and young learners at all levels, from complete beginners to advanced students preparing for official exams, including CILS, CELI, PLIDA and Cambridge. I also work with people relocating to Italy or the UK, who need practical, real-world language fast.
My lessons are structured and built around you: your level, your goals, your reason for learning. I believe mistakes are how you learn, and lessons tend to involve a fair amount of laughter too. Progress happens when you feel safe enough to try, to repeat, to ask the same question twice. I create that space.
After 30 years I can read a student quickly. I know when to push and when to slow down. I use textbooks alongside my own materials: audio dialogues, songs, authentic texts for Italian; structured course books supplemented to target your specific gaps for English.
Grammar gets explained when you need it, in plain terms. Each lesson has a clear focus. You'll always leave knowing what you worked on and why.
Book a trial lesson. No pressure, just a conversation to see if we're a good fit.Mein Unterrichtsmaterial

I never thought I would have any conversations in Italian, and I REALLY never thought I would be having full on conversations about Doctor Who in Italian... But with the power of Sarah's teaching abilities, I can do both!!! I have so much fun learning Italian with Sarah, it never feels like homework, just a good time! Grazie mille!!

Sarah is a very experienced teacher with many years of language instruction. She identifies your weaknesses and works hard to improve your understanding. Her lessons are always warm and friendly, and you feel comfortable speaking. Best teacher I've met on the platform.
