About Smriehl
Hi, I'm Sarah Riehl – Writing Coach, Essay Specialist, and Literature Lover With over 20 years of experience as a secondary English teacher, I’ve had the joy of helping students discover the power of their voice through writing. I specialize in teaching all forms of writing—narrative, argumentative, and informational—and I especially love guiding students through the college admissions essay process. One of my favorite offerings is a Five-Hour College Essay Intensive, where I help students move from uncertainty to confidence. Whether you're just getting started or stuck in the middle of a draft, I walk you through brainstorming, outlining, writing, and refining until you’ve got a compelling, authentic essay you’re proud to submit. I hold Master’s degrees in both English and Education, and my teaching background spans everything from British Literature and Writing & Composition to Creative Writing, Theatre Studies, and Film Studies. My approach is student-centered and skills-based—I’m all about giving you the tools and strategies you need to become a more confident, capable communicator. I believe that great writing starts with great thinking, so I focus on helping students build critical thinking skills as we work through the writing process together. I also design all my lessons with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in mind, making sure they’re engaging, accessible, and tailored to your individual learning style. If you’re ready to take your writing to the next level—or craft a standout college essay that truly reflects who you are—I’d love to work with you!
