About Sarah


Bio

My name is Sarah, and I am an experienced chemistry and math (through Calc II) tutor. Additionally, I am a faculty member for the California State University. I have taught various Food Science classes, including ones focusing on analytical chemistry, and have conducted laboratory research focused on physical chemistry. I have my M.S. in Food Chemistry from Cal Poly Pomona and have a B.S. in Food Science.

My name is Sarah, and I am an experienced chemistry and math (through Calc II) tutor. Additionally, I am a faculty member for the California State University. I have taught various Food Science classes, including ones focusing on analytical chemistry, and have conducted laboratory research focused on physical chemistry. I have my M.S. in Food Chemistry from Cal Poly Pomona and have a B.S. in Food Science.
My tutoring methods are twofold: understanding and efficiency. I like to share useful tricks and techniques and help students critically think about concepts through discussion. I believe that being able to visualize and understand concepts, rather than just memorization, is key to problem solving.
I am passionate about STEM education and making sure every student has the opportunity to succeed.
I now have over 5 years of experience tutoring: College Algebra (Algebra I/II), Precalculus, Trigonometry, Business Calculus, Calculus I, Calculus II, and General Chemistry. I have extensive laboratory research, writing, and teaching experience so can also guide students through labs or lab reports. I am certified as a Level 2 tutor by the College Reading and Learning Association.

Better than my calculus professor!

Sarah really helped me to not only know how to do problems but how to understand them and the notation involved. I would rather have her as my calculus 2 teacher than my actual professor! We did a little review of Calculus 1 & then jumped right into the material for calculus 2. I look forward to more lessons with Sarah— she will definitely make sure you have an understanding of what is going on in math!

Sarah is terrific!

We’ve been so happy having Sarah as a tutor for our daughter. She is proactive and responsive, and always keeps me informed on what they’re covering. Our daughter enjoys working with Sarah, and has gained some confidence in the subject matter.
