Description:

Growing up in Montréal, QC, Canada, I was immersed in a multilingual environment, speaking Spanish, French, and English fluently. My exposure to different Latin American cultures, including the Peruvian, Dominican, Cuban, and more, came naturally from my close friendships. My travels to Spain and various Latin American countries, such as the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, further fueled my love for the language and diversity of cultures. As a result, I am well-equipped to be an exceptional tutor for students seeking to learn different dialects and speaking patterns.

With a bachelor's degree in Linguistics & Translation, I have a solid understanding of the fundamental components of phonetics, phonology, semantics, syntax, and more, which are essential for teaching Spanish effectively. My passion for the Spanish language and the surrounding cultures knows no bounds, and I find joy in sharing this passion with my students as they fall in love with the language too.

Residing in Costa Rica, my wife and I are both American citizens. Initially, my wife discovered Sara O and spoke highly of her. At first, I was reluctant to try as I'm not as quick to catch on compared to my spouse. However, Sara has proven to be exceptional. She adapted to my pace effortlessly, and I'm delighted with how much I've improved my Spanish. I cannot praise Sara enough for her talent in teaching.

For a period of over 2 years, I collaborated with Sara and initially, I possessed limited comprehension of the Spanish language - I could count up to ten. Subsequently, with her guidance, I have reached a level where I am proficient in holding conversations and reading in Spanish. Sara's ability to facilitate a comprehensive learning process has tremendously exceeded my expectations. She recognizes that learning a new language is a unique journey for each individual, and her continuous encouragement has been noticeably helpful. As a mother with an exceedingly busy schedule, I aspire to become fluent in the Spanish language. Although some students achieve fluency promptly, I am grateful that Sara has demonstrated patience with my learning pace. She tailors lessons to meet my specific requirements, thus ensuring that this objective remains attainable, even with the limited time I have for language learning. Sara's professionalism is exceptional; she arrives prepared, organized, and punctual, exhibiting enthusiasm in her teachings of the language. Additionally, she is resourceful, providing learning tips, books, printable material, links to shows and videos, and extra activities for me to complete independently. I appreciate her methodology of building upon the previous lesson, which enables me to consolidate my knowledge. Her style of teaching is suited to all ages, and anyone can experience success under her tutelage. I am confident in expressing that Sara's teaching style deserves a 5-star rating regarding the value received. I intend to continue acquiring linguistic skills and engaging in conversational practice with her in the future.

Over the past year, Sara has been an outstanding Spanish teacher for myself, my spouse, our God daughter, and numerous friends. She effortlessly works with students at all levels, deftly assessing their level and needs. Her wealth of resources and clear explanations make it easy to comprehend the workings of the language. Sara's skill in quickly adapting to different situations and explaining grammar rules in an understandable manner is praiseworthy. Her weekly sessions are always a pleasure, and her guidance has enabled me to improve significantly in my Spanish speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. Without her, I doubt I would have the same level of confidence in the language that I do now. As a learner, she recognizes my needs and her tailored instruction is precisely what I require. I wholeheartedly endorse her to anyone seeking a comprehensive and engaging approach to improving their Spanish skills. Sara is, without a doubt, the best!

For four years, I've had the pleasure of working with Sara. She's truly fantastic! Thanks to her guidance, I've gone from knowing zero Spanish to being able to converse confidently with others, all while having a great time. Sara is not only kind and punctual, but also incredibly funny and creative. It's no surprise that after all this time, I consider her to be a good friend as well. If you're interested in learning Spanish, don't delay. Work with Sara and you won't be disappointed!
