Sara: Antioch tutor
Certified Tutor
As a bilingual educator born and raised in Poland, I bring a unique perspective to tutoring that blends academic expertise with cultural sensitivity. I was raised in a region where independence was emphasized from an early age, and that value continues to shape how I support students. I strive to build confidence and self-reliance in my learners, using a nurturing, balanced approach that meets each child where they are and helps them grow. My background in early childhood education has provided me with a deep understanding of foundational literacy and math, particularly in phonics and number sense. I specialize in breaking down complex concepts into accessible, engaging steps that help students build both skills and confidence. As a woman in education, I've often been seen as approachable and patientqualities that help me build trust with families and create safe learning spaces for all students. Being bilingual allows me to connect with multilingual learners and understand the challenges they face when adapting to a new language or classroom environment. I work intentionally to bridge communication gaps and create inclusive learning experiences that honor every student's strengths. My goal is always to empower students with the tools they need to succeed, not just academically, but also in how they view themselves as learners. Tutoring is more than helping with homeworkit's about building confidence, developing independent thinking, and cultivating a love of learning. That's the heart of what I do.

Outside of teaching and tutoring, I have a deep love for reading and jogging. Reading allows me to constantly grow, whether I’m exploring children’s literature to stay connected with my students’ interests or diving into professional development texts to strengthen my craft. Jogging, on the other hand, helps me stay energized and focused. It gives me the mental clarity and balance I need to show up as my best self for the students I work with. Both hobbies keep me grounded and continuously learning, just like I encourage my students to be.
