Sawyer: Novato tutor

Certified Tutor

As a recent graduate from Stanford University with a Bachelor's with Honors in Classics and minors in Mathematics, Computer Science, and Theater, I bring a diverse educational background to my tutoring practice. With over six years of experience teaching subjects ranging from Latin and Algebra to ACT prep and College Application Essays, I am passionate about making complex concepts accessible and engaging for my students. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a love for learning by connecting subjects to real-life applications and making them enjoyable. I believe that when students see the relevance of what they're learning, they become more invested in their education. In addition to my academic pursuits, I enjoy exploring literature (especially Shakespeare) and languages, which enriches my approach to tutoring and helps me inspire confidence in my students.
