Tutor Information
About
Hi! My name is Sarah. I am finishing up my Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics/Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages at Stony Brook University, and I will be student teaching in the Fall 2025 semester. I will be graduating Summa Cum Laude.
I have been tutoring students both virtually and in person for 5 years now. I have experience tutoring in math, English, SAT English and math, and general homework help. I got 1420 on my SAT (730 on math and 690 on English), and I have multiple SAT prep books and resources to share. I have completed math courses including Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Pre-Calc, AP Statistics, college Linear Algebra, and college Calc 1, 2, and 3.
I am very flexible in my teaching style. If something isn't working for you, I have no problem adapting until we are successful. I like to incorporate a good balance of practice questions, reviewing strategies, and fun quiz games. I have an Apple Pencil, so it is easy to annotate questions and write on any materials that you upload photos of. I look forward to working with you!
