Teacher: Sarah

About

As English has become increasingly important in today’s world, it has provided me with wonderful opportunities to teach students from a wide variety of countries and backgrounds. Students have described me as patient, funny, warm and an excellent listener. I engage students by choosing material and activities suited to their needs, levels and learning styles. In making the lessons as student-centered as possible, it is my goal for students to get the most out of each class. As a passionate language learner myself, I speak Spanish, Dutch and a bit of French. It’s thrilling to put my studies to use and speak with native speakers. My hope is to pass this same excitement on to my students.

I would highly recommend this English course

I did the English speaking course with Sarah: she played a key role in helping me achieve my IELTS goal. The course strengthened my confidence in all sections of the exam, especially speaking and writing, thanks to clear explanations and targeted practice. After every lesson, we received homework and I found it really helpful. The lessons were well-structured and adapted to my needs, which made studying motivating. I would highly recommend this course to anyone aiming to improve their English and reach a specific IELTS score. – Erika

The classes were dynamic and adapted to the interests of everybody

I had the pleasure of taking an English exam preparation course with Oana and my experience was very successful. In 3 months my English has improved a lot and I feel much more confident now. The classes were dynamic and adapted to the interests of everybody as well. If you are looking for an experience like that I truly recommend taking this course! – Paula

Very satisfactory

I signed up to prepare for the IELTS test. With only a month and a half of study the result was very satisfactory. I would recommend this academy to anyone in the same situation. Adrià

Great teacher

Laurel is a great teacher. I used to discuss the main ideas of my papers with her and we used to have really interesting talks about gender studies and social science in general. This kind of talks improved my arguments and reinforced my ideas in the texts. The course was very useful. Sylvia
