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.

Currently I'm working on my ability to have more natural conversations--being able to understand and respond with more fluidity. Sarah is a great teacher for that as well as grammar, etc., but she adjusts her approach in a way that helps you achieve your specific goals.

I always have the best lessons with Sarah! She always teaches with such compassion, kindness, and knowledge. I recommend her to anyone I know who wants to learn Italian. I have been able to have actual conversations in Italian and enjoy learning how to in the process. Sarah è il top!
