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 ESOL and Spanish Immersion classroom teacher, I have spent the last eight years providing one-on-one online Spanish and ESOL tutoring. My approach focuses on helping students build confidence in their language skills by sharing practical tricks and tools that make learning easier and more enjoyable.
Having learned Spanish as a second language, I know firsthand the challenges and successes of language learning. This allows me to support both Spanish students and ESOL learners with empathy, clarity, and practical strategies. My goal is to make every lesson feel approachable and rewarding.

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 people. 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’ve focused on online instruction—offering one-on-one lessons, small group classes, and customized programs for organizations—where I’ve found that personalized, relationship-based teaching is where my strengths truly shine.
These experiences have deepened my passion for language education. I’m excited to support students on their journeys, because language learning not only builds confidence—it connects people, fosters understanding, and empowers individuals to express themselves and show up as their best selves.
