Welcome in! I am a data scientist with 5 years of experience and rigorous training in statistics and mathematics who enjoys walking others through understanding analytical concepts and constructing their own models. I'm happy to do deep dives on subject matter, as well.

I am currently working on innovative methods to incorporate principles of linguistics into large language models; in the past, I have taught data analysis at the California Institute for Career Development and I recently held a Social Science Research Professional 3 position at the Stanford University Department of Health Policy, where I performed full data stack management, from data engineering to modeling and academic paper write-ups. I have an MSc. in Public Policy and Administration from the Center for Research and Teaching in Economics, which included several courses in econometrics, decision sciences, and machine learning, and have independently completed courses in multivariable calculus and abstract linear algebra (with A's) at the University of Illinois - Urbana/Champaign. I have tutored on and off throughout my career.

I am open to learners of all ages, backgrounds, and learning preferences. Let me know what your goals are and we'll come up with a personalized curriculum for you!

Approved Subjects

ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I am WyzAnt certified in ESL/ESOL with almost a year of advanced ESL tutoring experience, and so far it has been one of the most rewarding subjects I've tutored. My ESL experience has been supported by my experience tutoring Spanish as a foreign language as well as writing and composition in English. In addition, as a student of two foreign languages (Spanish and Arabic), I am intimately aware of the obstacles that learning a foreign language presents and can guide my students through them.
GED

GED

I am a certified GED tutor via WyzAnt, but maybe more importantly, I enjoy working with older students. I am comfortable with anyone who wants to learn and will work with you based on how you learn best. Your pace is the pace we'll follow.
Grammar

Grammar

I have a love of grammar that extends beyond the academic. I enjoy dissecting the parts of a sentence and am happy to show my students how to do it--it's much easier than it seems at first. While tutoring writing and ESL, grammar has been a main focus, for obvious reasons. Also, my experience with Spanish has taught me a lot about English grammar, and as a second-language learner myself, I share the skills I use to break down and understand grammar with my student.
Reading

Reading

Besides passing the WyzAnt subject qualification test, I am well suited to teach reading for a number of reasons. First of all, I have assisted students with reading comprehension sections on standardized tests. Additionally, my experience teaching writing and grammar is highly related, enabling me to help my students break down meaning and really get to the root of the passage. Also, my experience with ESL/ESOL has prepared me to explain concepts in a variety of different ways to find out the most appropriate approach for the student. The critical thinking skills used in learning another language can easily be applied to native language improvement.
Spanish

Spanish

I have over a year of Spanish tutoring experience at many different levels, with students of various ages and backgrounds. I am currently a graduating senior at Rutgers University, fluent in Spanish (spoken and written) and majoring in Spanish-English Translation/Interpreting. Because of this, I have extensive knowledge of the similarities and differences between the two languages, which makes it easier to break down tough concepts. As a second-language learner myself, I am familiar with the difficulties of learning another language as well as how to overcome these obstacles to achieve fluency. By patiently breaking down these concepts, Spanish can become an interesting and rewarding area of study.
Writing

Writing

I have been helping students improve their writing for over a year now. As a translation student (English/Spanish), I write all day, every day, and am acutely familiar with the ins and outs of a well-structured sentence or composition--my grade depends on it! I am currently in the process of being published in a student journal at Rutgers University. Additionally, I've passed various language certification tests via Wyzant, such as Writing, Reading, English, Proofreading, Grammar, and Vocabulary. And if you're wondering, I have experience teaching a large range of students, from grade school to adult.

Saved by the Bell

I have learned more in 3 lessons than I have in a whole semester. Sarah's expertise in language is simply unmatchable. It's one thing to be able to speak/write a language fluently, it's another to be able to explain how and why. My translation skills are already improving after just a few lessons. I can't wait to learn more!

Tutor responded:

High praise indeed! It's a pleasure to tutor you, and I find that I learn a lot in the process. So glad I could help!

Very Patient

Very patient and knowledgeable about the English language. Helped me with writing my essay for graduate school and studying for the verbal on GMAT. I got into Ramapo and Fairleigh Dickinson.
