Sarah is half Mexican and half Iranian and grew up speaking trilingual. A lover of music, language, and culture, she launched Bilingual Birdies, a foreign language and live music program for young children in 2006 in New York City. Her intention was to create a space to celebrate diversity with children through the joys of language learning. She bootstrapped every step of the way and invested her own savings to start her company.
Today licensed educators certified in the Bilingual Birdies method teach Spanish, French, Mandarin, and English to thousands of children per week across 25 cities in the US, Canada, and Latin America. Bilingual Birdies offers an online training program and business infrastructure for bilingual people to launch their own Bilingual Birdies businesses, earn money for doing what they love, and ignite a bilingual education movement in their own community.
