Introductory meeting was much more than I expected and I was impressed by the teaching approach.

About LEARN SPANISH: Former High School Spanish Teacher
¡Hola! I’m Sarah, a lifelong Spanish teacher who loves helping students feel confident, relaxed, and successful when learning Spanish. I’ve taught Spanish for over 30 years, both in the public school system and privately, one-on-one. I work with students of all ages — from middle school and high school to college students, adults, and retirees. I continue to work with Homeschool Students each year leading them to excel in Spanish. Whether you’re learning Spanish to improve your grades, prepare for travel, advance your professional communication, or for personal enrichment, I tailor every lesson to your specific needs and goals. I believe learning Spanish should be encouraging, practical, and enjoyable — not stressful. My lessons are structured but flexible, focused on real communication, and adapted to your learning pace. They are always supportive and judgment-free. I provide all learning materials, and I explain concepts clearly so you truly understand — not just memorize. If you’d like, I’d be happy to set up a complimentary Zoom call to explain how I work and see how I can best help you. There’s no obligation at all. Feel free to ask me any questions — I look forward to connecting with you.
Reviews
Working with Sarah was an absolute pleasure. She was incredibly responsive, provided clear and understandable feedback, and truly exceeded my expectations. Her attention to detail and supportive communication made the entire proofreading process smooth and stress-free. If you’re unsure who to choose for your Spanish manuscript—pick Sarah. She is amazing, and I’m so grateful for her expertise and professionalism.
Experience has been great from start to finish. She seems dedicated to her students and is responsive, punctual, has good communication and a lot to offer her students.
My two kids have been taking Spanish lessons from Sarah 3 times a week for... I think a year and a half now? They have been making excellent progress in all aspects of Spanish learning. I love her flexibility with our schedule as well as her patience with my 10 and 14 year olds, who can be a bit prone to shenanigans. I like having the lessons online, communicating with the instructor over text, and being able to pay with PayPal. Overall I recommend Sarah very highly as an instructor!
So far it’s going very well. Sarah helping my son on his school work and building his language skills.
My son has been working with Sarah for a month now and he had really enjoyed working together with her. With Sarah’s help, he feels more comfortable in his Spanish class at school. He has also improved his understanding of several grammar topics.
I feel like we hit the jackpot with NYTST. She is so positive and my daughter, after only 2 sessions, feels much more confident and positive about Spanish!
My husband and I really enjoy our Spanish class with Sarah- She is wonderful at working with us at each of our capabilities -Not only are we learning Spanish- we talk about culture and travel which is really wonderful.
Not your typical Spanish teacher is exactly that....NOT typical at all! My daughter has been taking Spanish in school for the last 3years and wasn't fluent in speaking. So we hired NYTST! She is amazing! Her teaching and classroom experience shows. She's topnotch, always on-time and my daughter absolutely enjoys every session. She's organized, punctual, and responds immediately. If you're looking to learn Spanish, NYTST is your person. I highly recommend her!
UPDATE: Pro comment to my response to overtime is untrue. I did advise that OT was postposed and was no longer an issue. Sarah responded to my text message. See attachment. Also I never said I wanted to be fluent in a few weeks. Even I know it takes a long time to be fluent in a language. I met with the Pro twice online, on Thursdays. First time 6/3/21, was an introduction and advising me I'd have a login to lessons/ homework. Instructor does not give you enough work throughout the week to be able to learn effectively. I did not find the classes engaging or rewarding. Our second online lesson was 6/10. We went over the homework from chapter 1, of the Easy Spanish 123 book I purchased. I also had to remind Sarah again I still did not have a login to do assignments. We spent the majority of the time doing a review of how to navigate through the voces website again. When doing the assigned work this week, instructor forgot to give me access to some assignments. Instructor also kept forgetting to send me her payment information. I finally received the payment info and paid for the 2 weeks of lessons. After advising I was dropping her class after 2 sessions, I said I was leaving to peruse less expensive options. Sarah made no attempt to retain me. She just wrote, check out a you tube person online, they are good. So I posted this negative review. After posting my negative review, the instructor advised of hardships in her life Now it makes sense why Sarah was forgetting things and distracted. She made no attempt to advise how she can help to fix the situation, so I can get more value in my Spanish learning. I do NOT want to learn from this instructor anymore. I thought I was getting more value by going with Sarah and that's why I chose her. An instruction with 20+ years experience, Sarah should be more polished as a professional. Should be able to provide enough work during the session and week to keep students or clients engaged. Take this 1 bad review as constructive criticism and learn from it. First review response. Instructor was disorganized. Did not provide enough lessons for the week. Waste of money and time. Did not get my monies worth. Very disappointing. Would not recommend.
