One of my passions in life is working with children and adolescents. I have taught and worked at ESL Language Camps for children and adolescents in the past and have truly loved getting to know students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. One of my greatest joys in life is connecting with young people and creating memorable experiences with them on their language learning journeys. I believe that “language has no boundaries,” and that communication starts from the human connection that we build with one another.

Greetings! I’m Sarah, and I’ve been teaching English as a Second Language and English for Academic Purposes for the past six years. I completed my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Oregon and while I was there, I had to complete English courses to develop my language skills. I know how tough learning a second language can be, so I try my best to design activities that are fun and engaging. I completed my Master’s in Professional Education in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) in 2016 at Western University - which brought me here. Finally, I love to travel and I’m an avid fan of Harry Potter – any other fans out there? I look forward to teaching you in this term!
