About Sara
I am passionate about helping clients develop and hone their critical reading and writing skills. I have been guiding individuals towards improved content, clarity, and focus in their writing for over twenty years. I have a strong history of success as a teacher and tutor. At the heart of this passion is the fact that I am a writer myself. Contact me today for a free twenty minute consultation.
I am a twenty year veteran English teacher specializing in advanced academic and research writing, AP Literature and Language test preparation, creative writing, and the writing process.
I can provide help with all aspects of writing including:
College essays and supplementals
ACT/SAT/AP test essays
Research writing
Personal essays
Creative writing
Additionally, I have a strong background in literacy and literary analysis including:
Close reading/analysis skills
Strategies for struggling readers
Skills to boost reading comprehension
I am available to tutor all levels but specialize in secondary, college, and graduate-level writing.
Finally, I can help coach individuals with goal-setting strategies and project completion timelines and accountability.
I have been teaching for 21 years. Throughout that time, I have honed my skills and have a large number of resources upon which to draw to help every student achieve writing success. I have received AP and IB training as well as training on sheltered instruction, guided inquiry, and Apple education.
I am currently a doctoral candidate in the history of education, and so I have experience in upper-level graduate writing and am versed in three major style sheets (APA, Chicago, and MLA).

I like to set up an initial meeting with a potential client. Prior to our that meeting, I like to look at a student's writing sample so we can make an informed set of goals for our sessions. Then I like to meet with a student to discuss possible outcomes. We would then determine the ideal number of sessions (one time meeting, a set number of sessions, or weekly meetings for an entire semester).

As a professor, I know first-hand how challenging it is to teach writing. You need to help students learn important conventions, attend to structure and logic, and embrace the hard work of revision; but you also hope they will feel inspired creatively, and discover, at last, that they have a real voice and something important to say. I am so grateful that my son was able to learn all these things from Sara Doolittle. She nurtured his creative spark but also challenged him to hold himself to a high standard. Writing wasn’t always easy for him, but by the time he finished high school, it had become part of who he was. When he started college in New York state, he found that he was better prepared as a writer than many classmates who had attended fancy private schools. Sara is one of those inspiring, transformative teachers who set you on a course for life.
Ms. Doolittle is an intentional and considerate tutor who both notices and tries to understand the source of weakness in your writing. She helped me develop my writing to be strong enough to both handle intense academic rigor and be applied creatively in expressive ways. Classes and sessions with her helped to re-ignite my passion for writing, something that I now consider a very important part of my life."
