"Thank you SO much for the assessment! It meant more than you know!" - Parent of 6-year-old boy

"My daughter hated reading. Her fluency was slow and tentative. We tried school based intervention and 2 years of Orton Gillingham before finding Dr. Sarah Elizabeth. Sarah's strategies are very effective and easy to use. Within 2 months, Sarah had helped her jump THREE grade levels! My daughter enjoyed tutoring and said it was the most effective thing we did--much more effective than Orton-Gillingham based approaches. Thank you, Dr. Sarah!"
