My name is Sarah.

I was born in London, and have lived in different parts of the UK. I have a neutral south-east English accent. 

I know what it is like to learn a language online and how difficult it may seem. I studied my degree in Spanish and Sociology with the Open University (OU). The OU is a distance learning university with online classes. I understand what you are going through and the motivation it takes to learn online at home. 

I first started teaching English while living in Peru, after I certified in TEFL in 2008. So, I have experience moving to a new country while also learning a new language.

I qualified as a Montessori primary school teacher (5-11 years old) and worked in a primary school in the UK. This gave me great experience of how to use various methods to teach different students. 

The Montessori method isn't only for children. It has taught me to give all students the time and space they need to find the answers themselves. It also encourages students to be responsible for their own learning. Every student is different and there is more than one way to learn. 

I currently live in the Canary Islands in Spain.
