Sarah Y.
Private tutor in Centreville, VA
Education
I received my B.A. in English Language and Literature at Seoul National University.
Experience
I have 15 years of English tutoring experience, working with students of all ages and levels. I majored in English Language & Literature and have worked with hundreds of students in some of the most competitive education markets in the world--in university settings, public schools, and private tutoring firms. I have also written two test prep guides for large publishers, worked as an English writing and speaking exam grader at Seoul National University, and helped develop New SAT Curricula for several different companies. As a result, I understand how important it is to devise an effectively tailored curriculum, impart essential skills and study habits (all while explaining concepts in a way that is both easy to understand and interesting), and continually motivate the student to reach for the stars. By taking the time to get to know my students and really understand their specific needs and goals, I am able to teach in a personally tailored, highly effective way that always produces results. Whether you have a child who needs to build a solid foundation in critical reading and writing skills, you would like to prepare effectively for an upcoming SAT or ACT exam, or you are looking for someone to help raise your English grade, I would be so happy to help you achieve your goals!
