About Sara
My name is Sara Roberts, I graduated from St. Anne's College Oxford University in 2005 and then did a Master's degree at the University of London, graduating in 2008. I worked for a while as a translator and then as a researcher and journalist in London (briefly at the BBC), before going into teaching. I have been teaching and writing ever since. For the past ten years, I have been teaching in a private secondary school in the UK, mainly English Language and Literature in preparation for GCSE and A-level exams. I take pride in my lessons being fun, interesting, enjoyable and effective in helping my students progress and achieve their goals.

My online lessons are typically 40-50 minutes long and once a week. I prefer tutoring one-to-one or in very small groups with teenagers or adults who have at least an intermediate level of English to begin with. I am an experienced teacher and tutor, and have been teaching English in one form or another for fifteen years. I love teaching English Literature and Creative Writing. I enjoy getting to know my students and seeing them progress and achieve their goals. I like to make my lessons as enjoyable and interesting as possible, and fun! I always try and tailor my lessons to the needs and interests of the individual students, because I think that's key to getting good results. I also teach Spanish and can teach conversational French as well. I enjoy teaching and learning foreign languages, and worked for some years as a translator in London.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Sara.
Perfect! Sara delivered a well-structured and engaging writing lesson today, and Ava responded very positively throughout the class. The session was pitched at just the right level, allowing Ava to feel confident while still being gently challenged.
Sara explained ideas clearly and broke the writing process down into manageable steps, which really helped Ava organise her thoughts before writing. She gave clear examples, modelled sentences effectively, and encouraged Ava to expand her ideas using more descriptive language. Ava was able to apply this guidance independently, showing good focus and effort.
There was a lovely balance between guidance and encouragement. Sara was patient, calm, and very supportive, which helped Ava feel comfortable sharing her ideas and making improvements. Ava remained engaged for the whole lesson and showed noticeable progress in both confidence and sentence structure.
Going forward, it would be helpful for Sara to work a little more closely with me on the lesson planning to ensure everything is fully aligned. Other than that, the lesson went very well and we’re very happy with how today’s session went.View more reviews

Sara is a dedicated and very experienced teacher and tutor. She is patient and kind but has high expectations of herself and her students. A great teacher!
A great tutor, really helped me with english both literature and language!! Always very helpful and kind
Sarah is a fantastic tutor! She is so enthusiastic and always brings texts and topics alive for her students. Her good humour and dedication ensure that she brings the very best out of her students so that they can achieve their full academic potential.
I have known Sara for more than 2 years. She is currently tutoring my daughter English in preparation for her GCSE exams. I believe that Sara is more than a great tutor who manages to capture the attention of the student and makes the lessons both interesting and enjoyable. This seems to be crucial for many students to succeed in their studies. Sara is also very knowledgeable and competent in both English language and English literature and I have already seen how well my daughter has started to develop the necessary language skills to achieve the best possible GCSE results. I would highly recommend Sara as a tutor.
