About Sara

Hello! My name is Sara Opitz, and I specialize in tutoring Mathematics (from Elementary Math through College Algebra), Physics, and Basic Chemistry. I have over 11 years of experience teaching middle and high school math and science, as well as 8+ years of private tutoring experience. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Physics and a Master of Arts in Secondary Education with a specialization in STEM Education.

My tutoring approach is built on a scaffolded hand-off method designed to build both understanding and confidence. First, I model how to approach and solve a problem. Next, we work through a similar problem together, with guided questions to support the learning process. Finally, I provide practice problems for the student to complete independently, encouraging them to explain their reasoning as they solve.

This structured, step-by-step process helps students move beyond memorization, develop strong problem-solving skills, and gain lasting confidence in their abilities.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Physics from McDaniel College and my Masters of Arts in Secondary Education (6-12) with a specialization in STEM Education.

I have also been a Physics Teacher at a Public High School in Avondale, Arizona for the past 4 years. I currently teach STEAM, Physics, Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1 in Prescott, Arizona.

About the lesson

First and foremost with a new student, I ask for mutual respect and dedication. As I try and help a student be successful, I need them to understand that I will not be doing their work for them; they need to work a solution out with me. I will be asking questions and guiding them along the way to a solution!

Secondly, I ask that students are upfront in their areas of difficulty. If the student is struggling in a subject, don't hide that from me. That will just make our tutoring session more difficult and frustrating for that student. For example, if a student is requesting physics tutoring, and they failed Algebra 1 or 2, I need to know that to better assist them.

I have worked with many different types of students from every possible walk of life! I have students who have jobs or take care of family members after school; there is very little time for homework. With that, I make my lessons and tutoring sessions effective and goal-focused.

As I teach physics, it is very common for me to tutor in mathematics. My students have had poor foundational skills in math before getting to my classroom. I have tutored Algebra 1 & 2, and College Algebra to get them to pass Physics.

Look for a tutor that will challenge you to think critically about the material you are studying. If they simply solve the problem for you, have you really learned anything? It's great for that one homework assignment, but who is going to take your next test or exam? Not the tutor! YOU, the student, will be!

If you hire me, I will help you understand the concept so that you can be successful without me. A good tutor should not be needed forever!

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
"I don't understand!", is not enough for a teacher to actually help you! Before you ask for help, ask yourself the following questions:

"Where do I understand this concept?

"What steps do I know to solve a problem?"

Then you can more effectively state where you do not know how to proceed with the solution.

Perfect! Sara is a great tutor as she breaks down and explains concepts. Then she allows my kids to work the problems, asks questions to allow them to show their reasoning and builds their confidence in being able to solve the problems. She is also a true professional. She is punctual, respectful and kind. My girls enjoy working with her.
