Welcome to Kindergarten Readiness: Private Trial Class! This class will focus on Unit 1, Lesson 1 of "Kindergarten Readiness." During this one-time class, we will focus on preparing your child for Kindergarten. We will cover math skills, phonics, literacy, vocabulary, and science through games and interactive activities. Through purposeful play, this class will provide an enriching learning experience that is tailored to the specific developmental level of your child. We will practice valuable social skills, as well as hone in on social-emotional intelligence. This class is a great way to trial my Kindergarten Readiness course, and get to know me as a teacher, as well as my teaching style.

Teacher expertise and credentials
New York Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hi, I’m Sarah, and I’m passionate about helping children become confident, successful readers.
With over a decade of experience in education, including teaching dual-language kindergarten and running my own tutoring business, I specialize in providing personalized, explicit phonics instruction to emergent and struggling readers.
My journey began when I noticed a lack of accessible and practical curriculums tailored to meet the needs of diverse learners. This inspired me to create my own, blending foundational literacy with engaging, research-based techniques. Since then, I’ve worked with students from Kindergarten through 5th grade, helping them master everything from phonics and fluency to comprehension and vocabulary development.
I believe that every child learns differently, which is why I design individualized lesson plans based on assessments and ongoing progress monitoring. My data-driven approach ensures that every session meets your child where they are and takes them where they need to go.
When I’m not teaching, I love spending time with my family and my little one and exploring creative ways to make learning fun. Whether your child is just starting out or needs extra support to thrive, I’m here to help them build a strong foundation for lifelong reading success.
Let’s work together to unlock your child’s reading potential!
