What Parents are Saying
​
"Sarah has been wonderful to work with, and I have seen so much improvement in my child's skills. Sarah clearly cares about children's progress, and goes above and beyond to be available and flexible in finding times to meet with her students. She modified the sessions to meet via Zoom when necessary, and also honored requests to meet in person as much as possible. I feel very lucky that Sarah worked with my daughter, and fully intend to request tutoring sessions again for my daughter should we find it necessary. But I suspect we will have a challenging time getting in!" - Terri W.
​
"Since starting online sessions with Sadie my son has made great progress in reading and spelling. His teachers noticed immediately and wondered what we were doing differently at home. It has been so rewarding to have FINALLY found a program that works for him. Sadie is patient and "gets it," she is a mom and picks up on my son's cues of frustration when things get hard. She knows how to redirect him so they can progress the lesson or she changes her delivery of the material so she can reach him where he needs her to be. My only wish is that we had started sooner."
- Melissa S.

"My husband and I began to notice that our daughter was struggling in school towards the end of kindergarten, specifically with reading and writing (and math but we didn’t notice that at that time).
We met Sadie two years later. After having our daughter assessed we found out she had dyslexia. Our daughter began tutoring with Sadie in the spring/summer of 2022. We noticed improvements in our daughter’s reading after only a few sessions. At the end of 30 sessions our daughter had made significant improvements. Sadie has been an encouragement to not only our daughter but to us as well. She has given us many tools and has pointed us towards helpful resources. We are so grateful to Sadie for all that she has done to help us!"
