Italian & English Teacher · 30 Years of Experience · Pedagogy-Based Approach 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.

I have been taking lessons with Sarah for over a year now, and all I can say is wow! I have tried to learn other languages many times in the past without success, but that changed completely once I started working with her. I have gone from having practically no knowledge of Italian to preparing for the B2 exam, a goal I once thought was unattainable. Sarah makes learning a new language feel easy, and she provides the perfect guidance to help you reach your goals and take your Italian to the next level. Thank you Sarah!

Not only is she a great teacher, she makes learning fun and somehow the more difficult aspects of Italian are made easy with her explanations and guidance.

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.

Sarah employs a 'real life' conversational method which helps me learn new vocabulary and phrases naturally because they are ideas and themes that come up while discussing daily life, politics, or ideas. I find it easier to use and remember words, grammar, etc. because what we discuss has relevance. Sarah is a patient, kind, and very supportive instructor!
