Mrs.Fitts taught me more in a short 7 week period than my own algebra teacher taught me in an entire year. Not only was she an amazing instructor, she was genuinely invested in my learning and growth as a student. In school, there is always a fear of getting an answer wrong or raising your hand to ask a question, because you are afraid your teacher will ridicule you for not knowing or accuse you of not paying attention. Mrs. Fitts always encouraged asking questions, no matter how small and was never once bothered in answering them. In fact, she was more than happy to answer as many questions as possible so I never experienced any self doubt or held back anything, which was a first for me. Her way of instructing is not robotic, it is catered differently for every student, and if one does not like the way things are going, Mrs. Fitts encourages you to speak up and tell her what needs to change in order to make you feel most comfortable. Learning with her was never a drag, I sincerely enjoyed doing work with her and can say with full confidence that she is an incredible instructor!

Sara's professionalism and work quality made her an excellent tutor. She was always punctual and prepared for each session. As career switcher into the education field, I was apprehensive about preparing to take the math Praxis. Sara helped me not only with my performance, but also with my confidence. With her student-centered approach, I felt at ease and empowered to accomplish what I had set out to do. She was very supportive and went above and beyond. It was such a pleasure to work with her. I highly recommend Sara!

We called in desperation to help get through a pile of work in a short period of time and Sara was flexible, open to any method that worked for my daughter, and so unbelievably helpful! She has a beautiful office with an snacks and an area for parents to wait. So thankful we found SLF!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My hourly fee is $65; however, when paid one month in advance, the hourly fee is reduced to $50 per hour. My test prep fee is $900 and is an 8-week program designed for each individual student specifically addressing their unique needs. My program provides 12 hours of instruction and 8 hours of assessment. All materials and a textbook are included in the price. This program is $45 per hour.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
All new students receive an initial assessment - included in my hourly fee - and that begins the process of designing an individualized program of instruction based only on the specific needs of each student. Each student works in a one-on-one instructional setting that is conducive to their academic success and learning style.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BS degree in Mathematics from Meredith College and a M.Ed. in Educational Administration and Supervision of Instruction from George Mason University. I am a trained academic and instructional coach. My experience in education includes being a math teacher, a high school principal, and an instructional coach. I've owned SLF Consulting since 2000.
