Sarah A. - Tutor in San Francisco, CA (94110)

I am a Master's student studying Psychology and Drama Therapy in San Francisco with a lot of experience teaching middle and high school students of varying abilities and backgrounds.

After graduating from an elite, college-preparatory high school in Cincinnati, Ohio, I pursued by Bachelor's at Vassar and Barnard, completing it at Skidmore College. I also had a career in theatre, founded a successful New York City theatre outreach program, and led an after-school program during that time.

In my Master's program, I currently carry a 3.92 GPA. I have strong test-taking, studying, critical thinking, language and writing skills, and I can also adapt creatively to meet a variety of learning styles. I am fun, warm and care very much about all my students feeling successful and positive about themselves, their skills, and their futures.
