About Me
My name is Sarah Riddle and I hold a degree in English as a Second Language Education K-12 from Mars Hill University. Formerly an ESL and Spanish Immersion classroom teacher, I have spent the last seven years providing one-on-one online Spanish tutoring. My approach focuses on helping students build confidence in their Spanish language skills by sharing practical tricks and tools that make learning easier and more enjoyable.
Having learned Spanish as a second language myself, I’m able to approach learning the language from the perspective of an English speaker. I truly understand the challenges my students face and can relate to their experiences, which helps me guide them through the learning process more effectively.
More About Me
My journey with Spanish began in 2005 after a life-altering trip to Honduras, where I developed a deep appreciation for the language and Spanish-speaking communities. To learn the language, I prioritized building a strong foundation in grammar and vocabulary, practiced consistently with friends, and seized every opportunity to travel. Eventually, I moved to Puebla, Mexico, where I did most of my classroom teaching.
Upon returning to the U.S., I taught Kindergarten Spanish Immersion and worked part-time as a Spanish interpreter for Buncombe County Schools. Since 2017, I have focused on online, one-on-one instruction, which is where my strengths truly lie.
These experiences have deepened my passion for sharing Spanish with others, and I’m excited to help students build confidence and achieve their language goals.
