Sarah Walker’s passion is helping students find and hone their voices in writing, something she has been doing in classrooms and virtual spaces for 20 years. Sarah has coached hundreds of students through the application process, many of whom have been admitted to the most selective universities in the country.
Sarah is expert in teaching students how to craft applications and essays that not only stand out to application committees but that students feel proud of. Sarah's superior communication skills and emotional intelligence make her sessions with students productive, engaging, and memorable, and the skills she teaches transfer to a wide variety of contexts beyond the application process.
When she is not teaching and coaching, Sarah is probably writing on a new song or performing around town, digging in her garden, or out country dancing.
