About Sarah


Bio

Over 25 years of teaching high school, the most rewarding parts of my day are when I get students excited about my subject area and when I can connect with a student and help them work through their obstacles to learning. With large class sizes, it has been more challenging to find that time to work individually with students so I particularly enjoy the the personal attention that tutoring can provide.

Over 25 years of teaching high school, the most rewarding parts of my day are when I get students excited about my subject area and when I can connect with a student and help them work through their obstacles to learning. With large class sizes, it has been more challenging to find that time to work individually with students so I particularly enjoy the the personal attention that tutoring can provide.

I graduated Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from St. Olaf in 1999. My degree was in Social Studies Education, but I also completed additional history classes and a minor in Women's Studies. I have taught HS since 2000 and began teaching AP World History in 2006. I have scored AP exams and served as a Table Leader and Question Leader for the AP World Reading since 2012. In addition, I've taught AP Human Geography for 7 years with excellent scores earned by my students. My experience with the AP Reading helps me give focused feedback to students to improve their writing and earn rubric points on the exams.

I am currently teaching full time (AP World, AP Human Geography) so my availability is evenings and weekends, preferably online. I'm open to working with students for one-time, short and longer-term commitments, whichever is best to meet your goals and needs.

Helped improve writing

My daughter really enjoyed lessons with Sarah. She provided many practice examples to write about during the session as well as some for her to do outside of the sessions. Her resources made preparing for AP World a lot easier. Her writing advice and practice was crucial in helping my daughter feel great about the writing sections during the exams. She explains very clearly what all the points are and the best ways to earn them. 10/10 recommend

Knowledgeable and Understandable

Sarah really helped me understand all topics of Human Geography while showing off her extensive knowledge of the course information and the topics within it. She was able to make everything understandable while also helping me with what could be seen on the AP exam. With the excellent skills I learned from her, and the knowledge gained during our sessions I was able to get a 5 on the exam.

Knowledgeable and helpful tutor

Sarah taught my kids how to properly write FRQs and went over the whole content with them, helping them review for their test. Since she is a high-school AP human geography teacher, she does know more about which content/ vocabulary the students should know for not only their unit test, but for the AP exam as well.

Great teacher!!
