ABOUT
My name is Sarah Murphy and I am a great private tutor based in New York City. I am a seasoned primary years teacher with over 8 years of successfully educating students K-5. I have worked as a a learning specialist and classroom teacher in top performing charter and public schools in the Bronx and Brooklyn and, most recently, at a private International Baccalaureate School in Mumbai, India.
My New York City based reading and math tutoring practice is informed by contemporary research on the science of reading, as well as how elementary learners develop numeracy. I am trained as a Classroom Educator by the Orton-Gillingham Academy, which is the premier literacy intervention organization dedicated to the science of reading.
I am equally confident in my capacity to ignite joy, confidence, and facility in mathematics for elementary students through hands-on learning, games, and coherent, differentiated instruction.
