Self-education is an essential, life-long skill. I help students to develop and build learning habits that they can use for the rest of their lives.
I offer friendly support and listen carefully in order to identify individual learning styles and areas that can be strengthened.
My interests include: reading, writing, literature, history, cultural studies, research, and thesis development. I am passionate about learning at all levels from primary through tertiary for all children and adults.
I am an excellent communicator in both the written and spoken word. I have experience in teaching and talking with people whose first language is not English: people from Japan, China, Taiwan, France, Germany, Spain, India, Thailand, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Israel, Egypt - from all over the world!
My teaching hours are: Monday to Friday - morning, afternoon, and evening. Currently weekends are not available Online teaching via Zoom (preferably).

"“Sarah has been teaching me the subjects Maths, English and Science in a fun way. In English Sarah has been greatly helping to improve my grammar and comprehension. Sarah reads interesting stories to improve my English and helps with my homework every lesson. We worked through science experiments together to explain concepts. I enjoy my lesson with Sarah very much. ""
