About

Meet Savannah Ngo

Learner. Parent. Activist. Literacy Specialist.

Savannah Ngo is the co-founder of Cohort Education, driven by a belief that every child deserves access to excellent reading instruction — regardless of where they live. Her approach to tutoring is providing meaningful results in a shorter amount of time.

Literacy Expertise

With years of experience planning and delivering literacy instruction for students in grades 1 through 5 — many of whom started significantly below benchmark standards — Savannah has developed deep expertise in evidence-based reading curricula including Reading Mastery, SIPPS and EBLI. She knows firsthand what it takes to help a struggling reader build confidence and skill.

Beyond the Classroom

Savannah is passionate about learning and development, helping professionals learn new skills in engaging and effective ways. She also created Reader Meter, a tool used by teachers, tutors, and parents to support educational assessments and track student progress.

Why Cohort Education?

Cohort Education is a passion project born from Savannah and her husband’s shared commitment to finding swift and substantial solutions to implementing effective reading instruction. Based in Pasadena, California, Cohort provides no-cost, personalized one-on-one literacy tutoring for children at local libraries and online via Zoom.

Our Mission

The mission is simple: close the literacy gap by connecting students with trained tutors who meet them exactly where they are. Whether a child is just learning their letter-sounds or working to strengthen spelling and written composition, Cohort Education is here to help them grow.
