About Me

Hi everyone, I'm Sarah — your go-to for fun, personalised English learning with a life coaching touch.

From my roots in Manchester to the sunny vistas of South Africa, I bring a rich tapestry of life experience, TEFL expertise, and 30 years in advertising to make our lessons more than just language learning.

Teaching across 45 countries, I’ve designed our sessions—be it one-on-one, group classes, or self-paced online videos—to cater to everyone from teens to professionals in various fields. My mission? To make learning English a joyous, memorable journey, transforming dread into eager anticipation for each lesson.

Through laughter, tailored learning plans, and a dash of friendly banter (even about football), I aim to deeply embed English into your life, making each lesson stick. Our sessions are dynamic, focusing on your personal and professional growth, with a sprinkle of life coaching for that extra mile. Whether you’re preparing for exams, enhancing your career language skills, or seeking a vibrant learning community, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

I have been taking an English course with Sarah for 1 year. Sarah's lessons are based on material that allows for oral practice while working on the basics of grammar. It doesn't feel like work and progress is much easier.
