Sarah Mitchell

I am a native English teacher from Manchester who has called Lyon home for the past ten years. With a Cambridge CELTA qualification and nine years of teaching experience, I offer high-quality English tuition to students and professionals across the Lyon area.

My teaching career began at the British Institute in Lyon, where I taught general and business English for five years. Since then, I have worked independently, building a loyal client base through word of mouth and consistent results.

My speciality is helping French professionals communicate confidently in English. I understand the specific challenges that French speakers face: the th sound, false friends, word order in questions, the present perfect versus the passe compose. I address these issues systematically, with targeted exercises and plenty of practice.

For exam candidates, I offer structured preparation for IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, and Cambridge exams (FCE, CAE, CPE). My approach is strategic: we focus on the skills and question types that will yield the biggest score improvements for your specific profile.
