Hello! I'm Sarah, and I'm an English teacher living in Burgos, Spain. I've been a language assistant in public high schools in France and Spain for three years. In Spain, I work in bilingual programs and teach biology, chemistry, geology, and, of course, English. I received my CELTA in 2017 at York St. John University.

I speak French and Spanish (and am currently learning Italian, thanks to my Italian fiancé) and have a bachelor’s degree in classical languages. When I'm not teaching, I'm busy exploring Spain or working on my languages.
