Information about Sarah
I am a English / French graduate who worked in Customer Services and hospitality before having my own children. I enjoyed teaching my children so when they started school I trained as a TA and spent a few years working as one to one support for children with various Special Educational Needs. I then trained as a Primary Teacher. I consider myself to be a caring and dependable teacher with many years experience delivering educational assistance and instruction to various levels of learners. I am committed to instilling a love of learning, independence and cooperation. I also like to make learning fun and meaningful. After 10 years in a challenging classroom environment I have decided I would like to work with individuals / small groups so make learning more personal.
