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
As a teacher, I’m informal, friendly, and patient. The goal is to laugh and be at ease while focusing on real communication. I tailor lessons to your interests because learning is easier when the topics excite 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.
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.

It was a wonderful class. Great conversation. I felt comfortable throughout the class. Sara gives me a lot of recommendations to continue with my studies and get better at them. Sara is a great tutor and I look forward to continue practicing with her :)
