Hi! I’m Sarah, a native English speaker from Canada. I’m easy-going, friendly, and love connecting through conversation. I’m into yoga, hiking, cooking, and trying things I’m not great at (hello, pottery).
I enjoy working with curious, open-minded learners who like to laugh and keep things relaxed. I believe language learning should feel supportive and empowering, not stressful. My goal is to help you feel confident expressing yourself in real-life situations. If you’re looking for a light-hearted, encouraging environment to grow your English and achieve your goals, let’s chat!
Me as a Teacher
I’m a friendly, patient, and understanding teacher and my hope is that we're able to laugh and be at ease while focusing on real communication. I try to tailor my lessons to your interests because learning always feels easier when the topics excite or interest you.
I enjoy deep conversations about culture and current events, and I encourage consuming English media like TV or books as an aid in your learning journey. As a language learner myself, I completely understand the challenges you might face, and I'm here to support you on your journey.
My lessons & teaching style
My approach is simple: I believe mistakes are essential for growth. I'll help you overcome your fear of making them and build your confidence in conversational English. Through engaging discussions and a relaxed environment, you'll find yourself speaking more naturally and fluently. I tailor each lesson to your goals and interests, using real-world materials like articles, podcasts, and video clips. I also bring creativity into the mix using thought-provoking questions, role-plays, or unexpected conversation topics. This way I can ensure that learning stays fresh, personal, and enjoyable. My style is supportive, flexible, and always focused on helping you use English with confidence.

Sarah is the real deal. She brings a mix of professionalism, warmth, and sharp teaching skills that make lessons both productive and genuinely enjoyable. She has that rare ability to explain things clearly, keep you engaged, and push you just enough so you’re always improving.
What sets Sarah apart is her sharp intelligence and quick wit, she listens closely, zeroes in on what you actually need, and then tailors the lesson so it clicks right away. She’s lively, engaging, and keeps the conversation flowing in a way that makes you learn without even realizing how much progress you’re making. Every session feels fresh, practical, and flat-out fun.
An absolute class act through and through. If you want a teacher who knows her craft, brings her A-game every time, and makes learning feel like second nature, Sarah’s the one.
