Hello!
I'm Sarah Marshall, a certified teacher with over 20 years of experience in education. My passion lies in identifying the missing pieces in a child's reading development and creating targeted lessons and engaging activities to help close those gaps.
As an Orton-Gillingham tutor, I specialize in working with beginning and struggling readers, using a structured, multisensory approach to build strong reading foundations.
Through New Bern Tutor, I combine my expertise in reading instruction with my deep commitment to helping students grow in confidence and discover the joy of reading.
I look forward to partnering with you and your child on this learning journey!
About Tutoring
Orton-Gillingham
Why Orton-Gillingham?
The Orton-Gillingham (OG) approach is widely regarded as the gold standard for teaching beginning and struggling readers. This structured, multisensory, and evidence-based method is specifically designed to support individuals with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences in developing strong, lasting literacy skills.
If you're seeking support for a struggling reader—especially one with dyslexia—Orton-Gillingham is one of the most effective and research-backed methods available. Its personalized, step-by-step instruction meets students where they are and builds the foundation they need to succeed.
