Sarah Thomson : English

Hello!

My name is Sarah and I am a native English speaker from Australia currently living in France.

Learning a new language can be opening a door to whole new worlds and I am passionate about helping you on that path.

I am a language learner myself (I am currently learning French) and understand many of the difficulties, obstacles and triumphs that come with it.

I hold a TEFL (Teach English as a Foreign Language) qualification that I received from an accredited English teaching institute.

I also hold a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Masters in European and International Studies.

I have experience teaching adults from a wide variety of cultural, language and English level backgrounds.

As a language learner myself and as an English teacher, I have found that the process of learning a language is different to everyone and the best way to help a student succeed is to help them learn in a way that fits them. I am keen to craft my lessons for you on your interests and goals and will regularly check in with how you are doing and offer options for how you would like to proceed.

I encourage my students to talk as much as possible in my lessons. Speaking a language you are not confident in can be a frightening experience, but it is also the best way to improve! Don't worry about making mistakes because that is the key to learning!

I am patient, friendly and easy-going. I want you to learn at your own pace and I also want it to be an enjoyable experience!
