These tutoring sessions are designed to offer additional assistance to students who are applying to college. Additional times can be added upon request, please reach out if you would like to ask about private tutoring. This class is focused on students who need help getting started, developing their ideas for their work, editing and revising. I work with the student to ensure they have a completed essay and fits the parameters of the prompt. Topics I can help with, but are not limited to, these areas: Getting started- Finding personal items to include Outlining the essay Identifying the key elements required Thesis statements Developing ideas- Writing professionally Making a compelling essay Proper grammar Editing- Correcting grammar Consistency Clarity Revising- Necessary information Quality examples Appropriate transitions These sessions are for high schools students preparing their college applications. My teaching style is based on the need of the student. Let me know your learning style (visual, kinesthetic, auditory, etc.) so I can create a session best for you. If you would like a longer session than the 55 minutes, please reach out so I can get that scheduled for you!

Arizona Teaching Certificate in Secondary Education
Welcome!
I am Dr. Sarah Hopkins, Ed.D. I am currently a Dean of Students and have been teaching for almost a decade. I have taught 4th grade, junior high Social Studies, and high school AP history, special education, and student leadership.
I am excited to offer a variety of technical writing classes and fun book clubs for a wide range of students.
As a Doctor of Education I understand the technical aspects of writing and love teaching students how to craft meaningful essays and papers. My writing classes are designed to teach high school students the best practices for research papers and persuasive essays, using MLA and APA format, to help prepare for college. These classes are designed for groups but I can offer additional 1:1 classes for students who want more practice and feedback.
Additionally, I am an avid reader and believe that reading accelerates a child's learning. To spark a love of reading, I offer book clubs for students of all age groups. I currently focus my book clubs on Mystery series (books based on age groups) but will design courses upon request. If you have a favorite genre, let me know!
