Sarah Reid is the founder and director of Carp Village Tutoring and Literacy Centre. As a dyslexic adult and parent of a dyslexic child, she understands firsthand the challenges that many students and families face when navigating literacy difficulties. Her lived experience, combined with extensive professional training, has shaped her commitment to providing evidence-based, structured literacy instruction that helps students become confident, successful learners. Sarah is currently completing a Master's degree in Applied Linguistics, further expanding her expertise in language, literacy development, and the English writing system.

After earning her Dyslexia Training Institute certification in 2016, Sarah began providing specialized reading and spelling intervention to students in the Carp community. Recognizing the growing need for high-quality literacy support, she founded the Centre in 2019 to provide individualized, research-informed intervention for students with dyslexia and other learning differences.

Sarah is a Certified Structured Literacy Dyslexia Interventionist (CERI), an Associate-level member of the Orton-Gillingham Academy (OGA), and a certified Executive Function Coach. She believes meaningful learning happens when educators support the whole child, combining structured literacy instruction with strategies that foster confidence, executive functioning, self-advocacy, and resilience.

Committed to lifelong learning, Sarah actively participates in literacy research, conferences, and advanced professional development in structured literacy, English orthography, morphology, and lexicology. Her ongoing studies include Real Spelling, Structured Word Inquiry, Latin for Orthographers, and other specialized courses exploring the structure and history of the English language.

Sarah is proud to serve the Carp community and is passionate about helping every student develop the skills and confidence needed to become a successful learner. Outside of the Centre, Sarah enjoys gardening, travelling, and spending time with family and friends.
