Testimonial for Tutoring

"Sarah began tutoring my child at a time when I was uncertain about her critical thinking abilities. Sarah's assessment was thorough, fun for my child and the results were head on! She used the data from the assessment to formulate a comprehensive and individualized learning plan for my child. She introduced my child to the library, chapter books and using her imagination when reading.

In just a short couple of months my child went from reading words and not content to actually writing and creating her own chapter books! My child thoroughly enjoyed the individual attention she received from Sarah and I felt relieved knowing she was getting the additional help she needed. Sarah has a unique, gentle and PATIENT way of communicating with children. Because my child felt comfortable she was able to relax and accept what Sarah was teaching her.

Sarah also did a great job of communicating with me and providing extra resources and things to do at home between tutoring sessions. I loved the virtual learning environment because it took away the commute factor and was less stressful with our busy schedules. I HIGHLY recommended Sarah to any child needing extra literacy help or to reinforce their current curriculum!" - Mom to 8-year-old daughter

Testimonials for Coaching Families

“Dr. Sarah Elizabeth reassured me that my concerns were normal. She took careful notes on the environment as a whole when she accompanied me to my 1st-grader’s Parent-Teacher Conference, and offered suggestions for my son's teacher as well as myself. Dr. Sarah came with facts and was able to ask questions for me that I hadn't even thought of. I also loved the follow up emails. This made everything more personalized! She showed she really cares.

I thank her so much and look forward to working with her in the future.”

"Dr. Sarah Elizabeth is the perfect combination of knowledgeable, experienced & empathetic and supportive without judgement! As a divorced/homeschooling Mom with a neurodivergent tween, I found talking with Sarah to be so helpful! Her educational background & expertise helped reassure me about the choices I was making for my child. I would highly recommend Sarah as a parent-coach, especially when navigating difficult decision making. It helped me to feel supported by someone so kind, who also had such extensive knowledge about children, how children learn, and the school system.” Mom of 3 (7, 12 & 14)

“I hadn’t heard about elimination communication before Sarah uttered the term. From the start, she was gentle, and made the subject feel very approachable. Upon our request, she educated my partner and I on the essentials in a friendly phone call, and left plenty of space for questions , feedback , and casual conversation. She explained how EC is possible (and very doable!) because of our natural instincts as primates, shared her personal experiences using EC with her daughter , some insight about friends’ experiences, and conveyed an important point that the goal is not at all perfection. I felt no pressure from her, and could sense her goal was only to be informational, if it felt helpful/useful for us . My partner and I feel encouraged and excited to incorporate some degree of elimination communication, and I know if I ever have questions or a need for support, Sarah is there for me. “ New-mom-to-be
