Hi! I'm Sarah and I am a passionate and experienced English tutor. I love teaching. It's definitely my calling. I have found that making a strong connection with my students is the most important aspect when helping them to learn new things. I hold an English degree from The Ohio State University and a Master of Education degree from Ashland University. Beyond that, I have been teaching English Language Arts in a public school setting for over a decade. My specialized area is in grades 4 - 9,...

What we expected and beyond
We're looking for a teacher to help our 9-year-old son to grow his skills and life-long passion for the language arts. It's early days, but Sarah has provided more than we expected: - She knows and uses evidence-based assessment tools - She takes time to know the kid as a person, speaking in a tone that's both endearing and respectful - She prepares meticulous lesson plans - Lessons are conversations with Q&A going both ways, not lectures - When asking questions, she waits patiently for my sons to think at his own pace - She assigned our son a hundreds-pages long novel at just slightly above his level but backs it up with reading aloud and carefully planned out analyses. He didn't like the book at first and struggled with its rich vocabulary and references, but has been growing into the story and its characters by the day. That's an important early accomplishment in my view.
