Sara Gray

With 24 years of experience in secondary education, I have dedicated my career to fostering a love of learning and a deep understanding of English language and literature. Currently serving as the Department Head at a public high school in Rhode Island, I bring a wealth of experience in teaching students from grades 8-12, and have a comprehensive understanding of the challenges students face at all levels.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of teaching a variety of courses, including college prep, honors, SAT prep, and college-level writing as an adjunct professor. My expertise spans reading intervention strategies, reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar and mechanics, writing revisions, and the development of strong writing skills. I have also successfully guided students through the intricacies of research papers, senior projects, capstone papers, and annotated bibliographies.

In addition to my classroom experience, I have led SAT preparation courses, providing targeted instruction to help students achieve their best scores. As a Senior Project Coordinator, I’ve mentored students through extensive research projects, supporting them with the skills needed to produce high-quality work. My teaching philosophy focuses on personalized instruction, helping students identify their unique strengths while building their academic confidence.

If you're looking for a dedicated tutor with extensive teaching experience in both high school and college-level English, I can help you succeed in achieving your academic goals.
