Hello! I’m Teacher Sarah. Welcome to my profile!
Are you looking for enjoyable English lessons for your child, or a patient teacher to help you begin speaking English or Tagalog? I would be happy to support you!
About Me
I’m a Licensed Professional Teacher from the Philippines. I previously lived and taught in Japan, where I enjoyed helping Japanese learners discover the fun of learning English.
As a teacher and a mother of two, I understand that every child learns at their own pace. I aim to create a welcoming space where students feel comfortable asking questions, trying new things, and making mistakes.
My Teaching Background
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and a TESOL/TEFL certificate from World TESOL Academy.
My experience includes teaching kindergarten in the Philippines and working as an Assistant Language Teacher in Japan. I have taught children aged 2–8 through small-group and community classes, as well as learners in online settings. I also have experience teaching adult beginners.
English for Children
Let’s learn through games, songs, pictures, props, and movement! Depending on your child’s level, we can practise:
• Letter sounds and phonics
• Blending sounds and reading simple words
• Everyday vocabulary
• Building simple sentences
• Answering questions and expressing ideas
I use clear models, repetition, and encouragement to help children participate step by step. Shy children and complete beginners are welcome!
English for Adult Beginners
Would you like to practise English but feel nervous about speaking? We can start with simple questions and useful phrases about family, hobbies, shopping, travel, and daily routines.
I will give you time to express yourself and offer gentle corrections. We can use pictures and guided conversation to help you build confidence at a comfortable pace.
Tagalog for Beginners
Kumusta! I’m a native Tagalog speaker, and I would love to introduce you to my language.
We can practise greetings, introductions, polite expressions, pronunciation, and everyday conversations. I can explain meanings in English and help you use new phrases in practical situations.
Your First Lesson
Our first lesson is a chance to get to know each other. We will talk about your goals and try activities suited to your current level.
For children’s lessons, please let me know your child’s age, interests, and previous English learning experience. Adult learners are welcome to share what they would like to practise.
You don’t need perfect English to get started. Let’s enjoy learning and celebrate your progress together!
I look forward to meeting you!
