Hi, my name is Sarah and I'm from the UK. I studied German Studies at university and lived in Germany for a number of years, so I know how hard learning a language can be and understand some of the difficulties you may face. I now specialise in teaching English to German speakers.
Me as a Teacher
I am a DELTA-qualified English teacher fluent in German with experience both in the UK and Germany. I have worked with learners of many different backgrounds, but I most often work with German speakers as I can help them understand the differences between English and German.
My courses and lessons are clearly focussed and structured, but they are also friendly and relaxed. As well as working on vocabulary and grammar, I focus on developing skills and speaking practice so my clients feel confident using English in new situations.
I understand the importance of appearing professional if you use English at work, so from day one my business English lessons focus on situations in your job.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching approach is goal-oriented. In our first session, we will discuss your goals and experience, so I can create a personalised learning plan for you. Whatever your aims, active practice and speaking will play an important part in our lessons.
After each lesson, you will receive notes and a vocabulary list with new words. I'll also give you lots of tips on how to practise outside our classes.
You can decide how much homework you would like, but for conversation lessons, I often send my students an article or video to prepare before our lesson.

Excellent English teacher - An all-inclusive package!
Her teaching methods are extremely effective. Her lessons are tailored to my individual needs. Through a variety of different activities in class, including interactive exercises and engaging discussions, Sarah has always ensured that the lessons remain interesting and captivating. Sarah is an expert in her field. She takes care of all online resources, allowing me to fully concentrate on learning. Her relaxed and humorous approach, along with the small talk to reinforce the learned material between lessons, makes the learning process very enjoyable.

Sarah is a great teacher.
She is always very friendly and helpful.
I told her what I needed in English and she created an effective and interactive program with good material.
She helped me with specific business English, English for travel and much more. We discussed many exciting topics.
I love her classes, they challenge me and are always fun.
I´m looking forward to the next lesson. :)

Sarah's lessons are varied, exciting and fun.
For me, it is always surprising how well she explains and teaches the English language. She always prepares very well. When I have special questions or topics, she always responds to them. Even if we have planned something else, she is happy to change the lesson at short notice.
I look forward to every lesson.
