Bio

Hi, I'm Sarah—a guide and partner for storytellers who crave emotional depth and seek to understand the intricacies of writing, including grammar and spelling. Since teaching myself to read at age four, writing has been my passion. Between short stories, novels, movies and TV shows, I've never stopped turning blank pages to breakthroughs.

Hi, I'm Sarah—a guide and partner for storytellers who crave emotional depth and seek to understand the intricacies of writing, including grammar and spelling. Since teaching myself to read at age four, writing has been my passion. Between short stories, novels, movies and TV shows, I've never stopped turning blank pages to breakthroughs. The best part is helping others gain confidence, through writing, in skills that span far beyond paper: language, articulation of ideas, and verbal communication.

While I do not have any professional tutoring experience, I have edited my peers' work, including providing feedback on college essays and freewriting. Most often, I work with students between grades 5-12. I have published independently as well, including journals and coloring books, and made over 100 sales in 2023. I have never scored below 97% on a college essay between a completed Associate in Arts degree and an in-progress Bachelor's of Science in Business Administration.

When providing feedback and diving deep into the grammatical nuances of English, I typically work one-on-one and bring pre-organized aids as needed, including visual tools, charts, tables, and whatever else someone may need to learn according to their preferred style. I am happy to address any questions and concerns, share personal experience, and suggest writing and thinking prompts and exercises for additional learning. If there is ever anything I do not know, I will do research, consult experts, and get back to you as soon as possible with detailed answers.

My background in editing and encouraging the works of others has given me a love for helping others in their own creative journeys. And my experience writing in numerous different tones and formats sets me up to adapt to your style and tailor my guidance to just what you need, from grammatical foundations to an A+ essay.

Creative Writing

Creative Writing

I've been writing since I was four years old, always creating new short stories, TV shows, novels and movies. I have years of experience writing prose, editing, exploring different tones and styles, editing, and crafting unique characters. I have also taken courses to grow my writing skills, including screenwriting and prose classes.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

Between an Associate in Arts and Bachelor's of Science in Business Administration degree, I have never scored below 97% on a major college essay. I have learned how to use APA and MLA format, how to structure papers effectively, and how to craft intelligent, informative sentences. My years as a student bolstered my vocabulary with essay-essential terminology and revealed insights on how to craft a standout paper, what language to use and terms to avoid, and how to meet word count requirements.
Fiction Writing

Fiction Writing

I've been writing fiction since teaching myself to read at age four, including short stories, novels, movies and television series. I have experience in a variety of genres, such as science fiction, historical fiction, fantasy and dystopian. I've learned a great deal about writing strong characters, pretty but concise prose, managing pacing, editing, proofreading, and more.

Very Knowledgeable and Passionate

I was very grateful for the opportunity to meet with Sarah. She was very knowledgeable and helpful in making it easy for me to think outside of the box with my writing skills. Sarah was very helpful with providing advice, search for resources and links related to the topic. I am looking forward to having another tutor session with her.

The BEST tutor on wyzant!!!

Sarah is absolutely amazing. She truly pours her heart and gives 100% effort with anything help that I needed. She polished and perfected my common app essay for college to the best of its ability. She truly fixed my essay and made sure my voice was heard in it. She even researched the college and smoothly incorporated my major into the essay to really maximize my chances of getting into my dream college! She is all about quality, not money— and I really respect that. She will put in all the work to fulfill all your needs. I’ve had hundreds of tutors, and she’s the best one I’ve had. I’m a senior in high school and I’ve had tutors since kindergarten. So that’s saying a lot. I will continue to work with her, I am so grateful I found her and would recommend her to anyone!! Her love for writing is so beautiful. It’s so refreshing to work with a tutor who genuinely cares beyond money. She truly wants you to succeed!! Her work ethic is super amazing. Please just tutor with her. You won’t regret it!!! She’s also super detailed and specific when she communicates, I love that. She also made a document of all specific things that I need to work on as a writer. That showed me cares about me truly actually getting better at writing beyond just a tutoring session. She cares about me truly as a person and a writer. She gives me hope and comfort that there still are genuine amazing people out there. BEST TUTOR.
