Sara
Math and Physics Tutor
Hello! Thanks for checking out my profile! My name is Sara, and I am currently a statistical analyst at a major insurance company in the area. I have undergraduate degrees in math, physics and finance and have spent time in the engineering world as well. I also currently teach physics for the Lakeland Community College Engineering department. I have a natural love of teaching, and have been working as a tutor for over 5 years, specializing in math, science and test prep tutoring. I work...

Sara works with my grandson to provide support for Physics. She is very thorough and my grandson seems to feel more confident after his session with her.
Constance D. from Cleveland, OH
My daughter's confidence and skills improved during the first lesson! Not only does Sara have solid math skills, but she also knows the ACT and how to take the test.
Nicole B. from Eastlake, OH
My son was struggling with college (healthcare) physics. He went to the college offered tutor and still had a hard time understanding what was going on. Sara has helped him tremendously. He now understands physics so much better. He says Sara teaches him a way he can comprehend. I like the fact she gives him weekly homework to practice with. We are hoping he brings his grade up by the end of this semester. We started him with Sara the week of his second test, so Sara didn't get to tutor him for those first 2 tests. We are confident he will get at least a "B" on the next 2 tests, if not an "A"! Sara works around his schedule, which is a huge bonus! My son likes Sara very much! She should be Kent State University's physics professor! She is worth every penny! She communicates a lot. She's great! You won't be disappointed with her! Thanks Sara!
Amy E. from Chagrin Falls, OH
Sarah is wonderful! My son has been struggling in physics all year. He just got his first A on a quiz and said that he finally understands physics! We are very grateful.
Allen G. from Mentor, OH
Sara's preparation for her sessions with my daughter is most impressive. She outlines detailed expectations in advance, and summarizes the session afterward with what was done, and what needs additional attention.
Janine S. from Painesville, OH
Sara has a passion for teaching and it is easy to see. If you are the student or you are choosing a tutor for your child, Sara is an ideal choice. She is kind and patient, articulate and she cares. She meets your needs at your individual level. I will recommend Sara to anyone seeking help. Her academic ability makes her highly qualified but her kindness makes her extraordinary in my opinion.
Paul S. from Willoughby, OH
Sara did a great job with my son (8th grade) in helping him understand High School Chemistry and chemical formulas -- a subject beyond my ability to teach him. She was very patient and broke the material down until he was able to fully understand it and perform the tasks on his own. She is very prompt, returns call/emails immediately and was available to us on short notice. My son ended up getting an A on his test thanks to Sara's help.
Kristine M. from Madison, OH
Sara met with me to help me with my Statistics class. She went over some of the areas I was struggling with such as normal distribution, z-scores, and the list goes on. She was able to help show me how to use the different formulas and break down what was really being asked. I was able to do my homework assignment and received an 80% which was a huge improvement since the highest I have received so far was a 70%!
Tracy S. from Mentor, OH
Sara began working with me on preparation for the ACT and SAT tests. This was our first session. Off to a good start!
Gina K. from Mentor, OH
Sara is prepared each week with extremely helpful lessons. She is organized and very helpful on tips on improving my daughter's ACT score.
Lauren P. from Painesville, OH
Sara taught how to study for Math test by taking notes and writing down step by step how to do the problems. She also taught me more in-depth on equations and graphing and coordinates. What I like about Sara is how she writes down notes when she's teaching a new lesson instead of just explaining it.
Jacquie F. from Painesville, OH
Sara does a great job updating me on my daughters progress each session. We are making steady progress and she is feeling good about the lessons!
