I have always enjoyed teaching and helping others. My first student was my little sister when I was ten and she was 4. Before she entered first grade, I taught her to read.

Sarah Z. is pleasant and easy to be around. She engages herself in the situation of the student bringing much to the needs of the student. Being a tutor who does not just work in one area requires versatility, in-sight and a range of knowledge of various scenarios. Sarah is good at "plugging in" to the task at hand while making the student feel very comfortable. She is not judgmental and never has a problem with review or finding various ways of dispensing information so that the student will "get it". Sarah is also of a lively nature so a spark of fun leaves one looking forward to future studies.

Sarah is a very patient and talented tutor! Sarah has been working with my son for number of weeks now and during every lesson she goes through the writing & reading materials carefully and patiently with him. Sarah also has some great reading comprehension strategies that my son's school teachers never taught him! These strategies really helped my son think more deeper about what he just read. Sarah also brings a lot of positive energy and that really helps me (as a parent) feel there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm now confident that as long as my son stays with the program his writing and reading skill will improve dramatically!

Sarah has really taught my son how to write better essays. From the proper format and being sure to incorporate all the information that is being asked.
