About Sarah

Bio

Hi, I'm Sarah! Throughout high school I tutored friends' children in late elementary and middle school. In college I frequently tutored friends in the same or similar classes as mine. Learning is one of my great passions and I love being able to help it along in others. I believe a great teacher who works to the needs of the students and is able to inspire enthusiasm is the most critical part of the process. One of my favorite parts of tutoring is when I've been searching for different ways...

Hi, I'm Sarah! Throughout high school I tutored friends' children in late elementary and middle school. In college I frequently tutored friends in the same or similar classes as mine. Learning is one of my great passions and I love being able to help it along in others. I believe a great teacher who works to the needs of the students and is able to inspire enthusiasm is the most critical part of the process. One of my favorite parts of tutoring is when I've been searching for different ways to explain a concept or technique, and then I see the spark light in the student as one of those ways sticks.

I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Geology/Geophysics and am currently trying to save for graduate school. I've taken and gotten A's in all the engineering-level university courses in Math, Physics, and Chemistry.

I excelled in high school and university mathematics up to and including Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Vector Calculus. I enjoy helping students understand why a formula works, so that they know how and when to use it and don't accidentally use it in the wrong situation.

Physics is my favorite subject, and I can teach High School Physics, Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, and Fluids and Thermodynamics. I can also tutor Chemistry up to a basic university science level. Teaching science is making the magic of the everyday world become understandable and predictable, and it warms my heart. I love helping students pick apart word problems and what they're actually asking, because that's how science questions get asked in the wider world.

Please do contact me with any questions and to schedule a lesson! I'm always willing to learn more, so any suggestions or other resources are welcome.

exceptionally great

As usual every lession my daughter had with Sara helped her greatly. My daughter was getting poor grade and just after few lessons, she brought up the grade to B. I wish I knew about this in the beginning of the class so she would not have struggled this much in the class. But overall I am very happy with Sara's teaching techques.

amazing tutor!!!

She taught the material very thoroughly. She went through it step by step and explained each process in details. She is very friendly and kind and I highly recommend her. I will definitely be using her for further tutoring.

Very Kind and Good At Explaining

I was completely lost with various Physics topics, but Sarah explained them in a simple yet effective way and will give you extra information to make sense of it, letting me get an A on the test. She's a good judge on where you need to improve and is very flexible. Ahe's helped me gain a much better grasp on Physics, so I'd recommend her!

Patient and excellent tutor!!

Sarah tutored my daughter in physics. She helped her understand conversions and how to set up formulas for solving problems. My daughter was extremely happy with Sarah. We look forward to working with her weekly. :-)

Amadi, 21 lessons with Sarah

very patient and clear

We had technical difficulties but Sarah still left enough time to finish all the problems and made sure I was comfortable with everything before we were done! She made it much easier for me to understand certain concepts in Algebra 2. She really cares and wants people to do well.
