Welcome to small group explicit phonics class! Before taking this class, please ensure that your child has mastered ALL letter names and sounds. During our tutoring sessions, I will be using explicit phonics instruction in order to help emergent readers and struggling readers learn to read and spell. Explicit reading instruction has been proven to help readers of all levels! This research-based, systematic approach is not only proven to help children learn to read but it also supports students who need reading intervention or have been diagnosed with dyslexia. We will play games, read decodable stories and engage in fun activities. We will learn sounds, how to read words, and how to spell correctly. This class will move at the pace of your child and will be based on your child’s strengths and needs. We will build confidence, and self-esteem and create a lifelong love for reading!

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!
