After researching and teaching at universities in the UK, US and Spain for nine years, Sarah moved to Padova in 2019 and opened a language school specialising in academic English, now based near Limena. She holds a Ph.D in History and an MA in Cultural History from the University of Manchester, both of which were funded by the UK’s Arts and Humanities Research Council, as well as a teaching qualification for higher education, the CertTSLHE, earned at the University of York in 2016. Sarah is a member of a member of Advance HE, the UK-based organization for teacher development in higher education, as well as the ANILS association for language teachers in Italy. In addition to teaching English privately and at the University of Padua she edits, proofreads and indexes academic books and provides consultation and coaching services to academics. She is a native of Barnsley, UK, and speaks fluent French and Italian in addition to English (and Yorkshire!).
