Information About Sarah - Liskeard teacher

Personal Description:

I grew up in the West Indies and learnt Spanish as my second language. I went to university in Spain - Salamanca and Granada - and worked for awhile in Mexico. When my children were young, I decided to switch careers to teaching. This decision, although made for practical reasons, had a marvellous side-effect - I love teaching!

Teaching Experience:

I currently teach for Cornwall Adult Education - leisure classes from Absolute Beginners to Intermediate/Advanced. I also teach GCSE Spanish, GCSE English and A level Spanish. In addition, I tutor privately both to prepare students for examinations and also conversation classes for those who are more interested in extending their spoken language skills.

Teaching Approach:

My approach to all classes is to encourage students to extend their speaking skills. The listening, reading and writing skills are essential as support and extension . My focus is to make the classes fun and relaxed and to ensure that all students extend their abilities and confidence in using the language.
Also, I really like working out what each qualification board requires from their candidates and imparting this to my students - this is key to doing well in examinations i
