Sarah K.

Sarah is a lifelong educator, and has worked with kids and teens from kindergarten through high school on writing, reading, and general studies, including science, history, and literature. She has a particular focus on building confidence, executive function skills, and support for learning differences, and brings mindfulness and stress-reduction techniques into her sessions when it’s helpful.

Sarah was educated at Saint Ann’s School in Brooklyn Heights and Sarah Lawrence College, and trained at the Royal Court Theatre in London. She has gone on to teach at every level, from the classroom to the graduate seminar — including as an Adjunct Professor at the University of San Francisco’s School of Education and currently as a Visiting Scholar at the University of Westminster, CAMRI in London. She is also a writer, with two published books.

As the parent of a high impact and creative son now in college, Sarah understands both sides of the process, the excitement and the stress, and brings that firsthand perspective to her work with students and families. Working with children is core to her values, and she loves partnering with families to help their kids thrive. Her approach is to help every student find their own words and ideas, their confidence, and their sense of self.
