Sara's Bio & Tutoring Experience

Over the years I have had many opportunities to tutor individuals in a wide range of subjects. When I was attending high school, I was part of two organizations in which the bulk of my duties involved tutoring students. With the National Honor Society, I worked within the junior high and high school with whatever subjects the students needed, mostly math and English. Through the other organization, ASTRA, I volunteered at a place called Lifesource, where underprivileged children from local elementary schools would come to get help with their homework. In the summer of 2011, I lived in Harbin, China , and when I was not taking language classes spent a lot of time tutoring local residents of all ages in English. I believe that I would stand out in this program because I am very good at interacting with people, and when it comes to teaching others am extremely patient while still managing to push the student into learning. I feel that I am able to create a comfortable learning environment for individuals and make the material fun to learn while also making it adequately demanding. Education is something that has always been and will continue to be very important to me.

Sara's Education & Certifications

The first school I attended was Winslow Public Schools in Winslow, Arkansas (my hometown), until our district was consolidated and then closed. I then moved to the Fayetteville Public School system and attended junior high and high school there, focusing on taking Advanced Placement and honors level courses. After I graduated, I moved to Conway, Arkansas and attended Hendrix College, a small liberal arts institution. This past May I graduated from there with a Bachelor's Degree in Environmental Studies with a focus in Biology. While at at Hendrix, I studied abroad twice, once at Vesalius College in Brussels, Belgium with coursework in European Politics, and the other at Heilongjiang University in Harbin, China in a language-intensive program.
