Personal Description:

I am a French tutor, course creator, translator and interpreter. I have been living in Wales for nearly 30 years.
I studied French modern literature and Latin at University of Perpignan on the French Mediterranean cost where I also learned Spanish.
When I moved to Wales, I studied Swedish at Lampeter University and in Värnamo, Sweden. I have an Extended Masters in Translation and Interpreting with distinction.
Basically I love communication, expression, languages and teaching.

Teaching Experience:

I have taught privately for 30 years, children and adults, beginners and advanced levels. I have supported many students through their exams and have also been an assistant in Lampeter and Aberaeron secondary schools. I have been a teacher in Newcastle Emlyn secondary school, a course creator and accredited tutor for Swansea University and the Ministry of Defense. I also have many adult students of French and French culture who delight in discovering their growing ability to understand and speak French when they go on holiday or spend time in their second residence in France.

Teaching Approach:

It is important to assess how the student learns, what helps them improve fast comfortably so that they can enjoy the process of learning. Everyone is very different so lessons have to be tailored to suit the personality and goals of each individual. My lessons can be 30 minutes (£18), 45 minutes (£27) or an hour (£36)

Sarah's Feedback

Total Amount Of Feedback:	10
Total Positive Feedback:	10 Av. 5.00/5.00

From Nicola (5/5): Thank you Sarah! My teenage daughter (grade 5 piano) has only had one lesson with Sarah so far (we live a bit too far away). Sarah was kind and welcoming, professional and clearly has a very high degree of skill and knowledge in music. She teaches in a fantastically well-equipped and cosy studio in her home, which is in a beautiful, rural area. We are looking forward to going for more lessons as soon as we can. With warm wishes.

Reply from: Sarah: Thank you very much for the lovely feedback Nicola.
It was a pleasure meeting you both and hopefully see you soon

From Karen (5/5): My daughter Lili has had 4 piano lessons with Sarah so far and is really enjoying them. Sarah has a lovely nature and has a very flexible approach to teaching which is perfect for Lili as she needs some support with her Music A Level more than anything. So, Sarah is focusing on what Lili needs rather than structuring the lessons purely to get her through piano grades. I think the lessons are going to be a great help as Lili didn’t take GCSE music and she only plays drums so learning an additional instrument will benefit her A Level studies enormously. I would highly recommend Sarah as she is very patient and is also a lovely warm person.

From Carola (5/5): I'm a complete beginner at the piano at the age of 75, and I'm only 3 lessons in. Sarah started with really detailed instructions about hand positions and is rigorous in keeping me to them, but I appreciate the attention as I know that starting with good habits is important. She is a good judge of character and has realised that I need to enjoy a tune to practise it well, so she has found me tunes that I like - and that she likes too, because she genuinely seems to enjoy the work we do together. She is extremely patient and attentive and always encouraging. I feel that I am making good progress and am glad I am learning from her.

From Marian (5/5): Enthusiastic and pleasant. Enciuraging too.

From Ceri (5/5): Sarah was able to determine and make recommendations in which direction Seb wishes to go forward with his interest in music.

Tutor was able to introduce him to Music technology and back this up with related theory.

At the moment, Seb has basic knowledge of musical notes and guitar notes so Sarah may be able to build upon this existing knowledge.

Sarah is incredibly versatile - feedback is such following our initial lesson.

From Janet (5/5): Sarah is a very accomplished musician - fun loving - gives 100% focus during the lessons to ensure progress is made - thoroughly enjoying and making headway, Sarah is extremely patient

From Jonathan (5/5): Yes, contact made, thank you. We're arranging a space in our mutual diaries.

From Andrew (5/5): Sarah is a wonderful tutor. her lessons would suit everyone from a child to a mature student, would also suit a complete novice, she explains everything reasonably well.

From Anne (5/5): My daughter is really enjoying preparing for her GCSE French with Sarah.
Sarah is friendly, professional, reliable and thorough.

From Yvonne (5/5): I have had 2 lessons with Sarah. I am a complete beginning and a mature student and am a little apprehensive of my ability to learn the Piano. Sarah is very warm, generous with her time and approach, paces the class well - pushed me where she believes she can and has a very engaging style - I have enjoyed both of my lessons to date, and remain excited and keen to progress. All of this is very much down to Sarah's technique and approach.
