About
¡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.
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.

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.

My two kids have been taking Spanishlessons 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!

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.

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!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The price is the same for one or two students at the same time who are on the same level.
10% discount on lesson packages of ten lessons
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I talk with the student to get to know their current level of Spanish, if any. I listen to them to help me know what kind of learner they are. I tailor each lesson to each individual student to help reach their goals in learning Spanish. I teach many adults of all ages and I have several books to use to ac company our lessons. For elementary, middle and highschool students, we are able to share screens so I can see exactly what you and working on in class so I can help you succeed.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
BA from Georgia State University with majors in Spanish and Education of Students of a Foreign Language. I have traveled extensively through 15 Spanish speaking countries. I have lived 8 months in Spain, 8 years in Costa Rica, and 3 years in Mexico where I tutored Spanish online and in person.
