As a teacher who believes in the uniqueness of every individual, I believe that it is important to tailor my teaching methods to the needs and learning style of each student.
In addition, I believe that it is important to create a positive and supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and taking risks. By fostering a safe and welcoming space, students are able to fully engage in the learning process and reach their full potential.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching philosophy is based on the idea that language learning should be engaging, fun, and relevant to your life. I believe that language is a tool for communication, and my goal is to help you become a confident and effective communicator in your target language.
I use a variety of teaching techniques, such as conversation practice, grammar exercises, and cultural immersion, to help you develop your language skills naturally. I also provide personalised material and support to help you overcome any challenges you may encounter along the way.

I have been taking lessons with Sarah for over 2 years. She is an extremely positive and highly professional teacher who always meets my needs and requests for upcoming lessons. She is also an extremely talented person. I found her through her Italianochiaro podcast available on Spotify and was eager to schedule lessons with her. Her website, https://italianochiaro.com, offers many useful, high-quality materials specifically targeted to help you feel comfortable traveling or living in Italy. She is an amazing person and instructor, with incredible creativity and content! Highly recommend her to anyone who's goal is to become fluent in 2025.

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.
