A passionate and lifelong learner, educator, writer, and artist
Throughout my career as an educator, I have enjoyed teaching challenging material at multiple skill levels and sharing my passion for literature, the art of writing, rhetoric, grammar, public speaking, languages, history, and the performing and visual arts with K-12 graders, college students, and adults. I hope to inspire that same passion and thirst for learning in my students. I am now available both in-person and remotely.
I can also assist you as a writer, editor, translator, lyricist, and artist. See the descriptions below.
What Can I Do For You?

Executive Functioning Skills are essential for being a successful student and lifelong learner. Though they can always be perfected throughout one's lifetime, they are particularly important to develop in elementary, middle, and high school. See "Tutoring Subjects" for more information.

Whether writing a college essay or a research paper, creating a poem, or analyzing a text, I can teach you how to brainstorm, research, organize, and edit your writing assignments. I also teach Creative Writing and English courses. See "Tutoring Subjects" for more information.
English, History, Spanish, Italian, and Latin Tutor
I am available to tutor and teach courses in the Humanities, Language Arts, and Foreign and Classical Languages at multiple levels and age ranges. See "Tutoring Subjects" for more information.

Tailored and Seamless Curriculum Design
"Sarah has been a great help to our two sons over the course of the summer. We wanted to make sure they were ready for third and fifth grade after a semester of online-only learning at school. Sarah did a great job putting together a curriculum for the two of them and then tailoring the work to their needs. Working with them online was seamless."
