About Sarah

Reading with Sarah offers high quality literacy education for students ages 4-9 (pre-K through 3rd grade.) I also provide remedial intstruction for students ages 10-11. I love being able to build students’ confidence in their reading skills.

Drawing on 15 years of experience in education and 6 years of reading-specific experience, instruction is individualized to the needs and interests of the student. Using a structured literacy approach, I teach with a variety of interactive, multisensory reading activities to engage and motivate students. I have worked with students with a range of academic skills as well as those with learning challenges, including but not limited to ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and processing disorders. After a few years of classroom teaching, I was a Reading Intervention Teacher and a Reading Specialist at elementary schools, and now I work full-time as an independent educator/tutor. While my expertise lies in reading, I also tutor elementary writing and math. I offer online tutoring and in-person tutoring. If your student has a peer with similar reading skills, I am able to do group tutoring for a discounted price as well as do book clubs for 2-3 friends.

To share my love for reading, I have a childrens literature Instagram account. I create and maintain book recommendation lists for my clients and the general public, accessible through my website and GoodReads.

Reading is one of my own personal joys in life, and I am passionate about helping students to find their own reading path. I love supporting students in being able to recognize the rewards and progress from their hard work in our sessions. I enjoy helping students find books that are a good fit for their reading skills and interests.

Elementary School Teaching Credential

About the lesson

First, I meet with the parents to find out what their child's needs are and what areas they are looking for support in. Then we schedule two paid, trial sessions to make sure that it is a good fit before deciding on a long-term schedule. In the two sessions, I spend time getting to know the student: their general interests and hobbies, their reading and/or writing interests and attitudes, and their academic skills. With this information, I create an individualized plan for the student of the areas to focus on in tutoring as well as a recommendation for frequency and length of sessions. I communicate this to the parents. I may also give home practice suggestions and/or book recommendations if requested by the parents.

students all across the spectrum of academic skills, students with learning and behavioral challenges (including but not limited to ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and specific learning disabilities)

Sarah has worked with my daughter 2-3 times per week since she was in Kindergarten (she's now in 4th grade)! I truly cannot say enough great things about Sarah. She is a wonderful and dedicated tutor! She has helped my child with reading, writing, spelling and, recently, math! Thanks to Sarah, my daughter is not only loving school, she's excelling at subjects in which she used to really struggle! My daughter always looks forward to her sessions with Sarah, and I highly recommend her!

Sarah is very patience and helped my son to not fall behind during the pandemic. Without her, he wouldn't have improved his reading and writing skills and would have fallen behind in math. I recommend Sarah Harris without exception. My family feels grateful to have worked with her.

She understands your Childs needs and really tailors her tutoring around that. She goes above and beyond to make sure there is a complete understanding of the subjects before moving on because every child learns differently. She is always available to provide progress updates. Lastly, she is an amazing tutor that really really helped our kids.

Ms. Harris has been a wonderful tutor for our children for the past three years.

She is extremely knowledgeable about literacy theory, child development and available resources. She is thoughtful in her communication with kids and parents alike.
