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.
"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."--Annemarie C., current junior at Georgetown University
"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."--Karin S., parent, professor at the University of Oklahoma
