Hello, my name is Sarah Adams. I would like to help you improve your English language skills.

I am a native English speaker with a neutral and clear English accent. I have travelled to many different countries and have lived and worked in Vietnam, Indonesia and Singapore. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I also enjoy trying different food from all over the world!

Some of my other interests are: walking in the countryside, running and singing.

I am organised, thorough, flexible, patient and encouraging.

I talk to students to find out their level and needs – do they want to focus on speaking, listening, reading or writing? Are there ways of learning which have been successful or unsuccessful for them in the past?

I plan personalised lessons to match each student’s needs.

I change lesson plans as necessary to ensure maximum progress.

I am patient and encouraging - I know how it feels to be a language learner!
