Hello! I am offering lessons in English and Latin. I am a certified teacher with 21 years of teaching experience in independent, alternative, and public schools.

I have a bachelor's degree from Duke University in English and Classical Languages and a master's degree in English Education from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I have my Illinois Teacher Certification in both English and Latin.

For the past 15 years I have been teaching American and British Literature (English II and III) and Latin (levels I through AP) at a CPS selective enrollment high school. I am available after school and weekends.

I live in Edgebrook on the north side, but I'm flexible with the meeting place. Meeting virtually also works well! Please send me an email if you have any questions or would like to set up a first meeting!

Study Skills

Study Skills

As a teacher for the past eight years, I have helped many students to improve their study skills. I talk with students about their strengths and weaknesses and how they learn best. From that information, I make suggestions and explicitly show students how to put various strategies into practice. For example, if a student has trouble learning English vocabulary words, I would suggest flashcards, cloze exercises, illustrations, synonyms, antonyms, and/or repetition exercises. Typically students also benefit from learning organizational and time management skills.

Great Latin Tutor

My son actually enjoys working with Sarah. She can quickly assess where he needs help and engages him in the learning. She is also super reliable and always on time. I highly recommend her.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Sarah assisted me with my written English. She helped me better organize my ideas , and express them into well structured sentences and paragraphs. This was not my first experience with her. Because she is really helpful, I always call her when I need to write an important document. So I sincerely recommend her based on my satisfying experiences .
