About Sara
I am a master’s-educated educator with extensive experience supporting middle- and upper-grade students in reading, literacy, and independent learning. I was trained through the University of Utah Reading Clinic, with instruction grounded in the Wilson Reading System, which shapes my clear, step-by-step approach to reading development.
I specialize in working with students who need structured, explicit support to make meaningful progress. In addition to reading, I help students build organization skills, manage homework more effectively, and develop the independence and confidence needed for long-term success.
Families appreciate my calm, thoughtful approach and my focus on steady, lasting progress. I work closely with both students and parents to ensure support is consistent, purposeful, and aligned with each student’s needs.

My lessons follow a structured approach based on the Wilson Reading System to help students build strong reading skills step by step.
Each 45-minute session focuses on phonics, spelling, and guided rereading to improve accuracy, fluency, and confidence. Lessons are consistent and supportive, helping students feel comfortable while making steady progress. I check progress every five lessons to make sure your child is moving forward at the right pace.
When needed, I also support homework and organization so students can apply what they’re learning and become more independent.

I wasn’t sure how well this would work, especially online, but it ended up being such a positive experience. My child went from feeling really behind in reading to making steady progress and gaining confidence. Thanks Sara!
My kid was really struggling with reading and was stuck at about a 3rd-grade level. After working with Sara twice a week for about 3 months, they've made huge progress and are now reading at a 5th-grade level. She also helped with weekly check-ins to get my kid organized with homework, which has been a big source of stress at home. She was patient and worked to track down missing assignments.
Overall, she's been very helpful—not just with reading, but with building confidence and making school feel more manageable. I definitely recommend her as a tutor.See more recommendations
