Meet Sarah

Sarah grew up helping her mom prepare her classroom every summer, but it wasn’t until she lived abroad that she began seeking social work roles in education. This interest led to her first formal teaching job in Taiwan, where she taught English to K-12 students. “I always saw myself more as a social worker than a teacher until I had the opportunity to teach and realized that teaching can be invaluable social work.”

After two years in Taiwan and nearly four years abroad, Sarah relocated to the West Coast. In Portland, she taught in Montessori settings as both a classroom teacher and a children’s yoga instructor through her own company. She also launched a private tutoring business to support families during distance learning, and briefly ran a Forest School at Mount Tabor. “Over the years, I am reminded that teaching is so much more than sharing information. It’s a profession that requires introspection and constant improvement to help my students succeed.”

Sarah incorporates her knowledge of yoga and mindfulness to help students work through challenges. “I strive to understand each student’s personal qualities so I can leverage their unique strengths to help them achieve their goals.” Her goal is to foster a community of confident and purposeful learners.
