Not only is Elizabeth an amazing tutor, she is professional, patient, and punctual.

She will review any work that you may need help with before even meeting with her . I love that she already has a plan of action ready go once the session begins. She has built up my daughter’s confidence tremendously in the few session that she has recently had with her.

My son is currently struggling in algebra 1. After the first tutoring lesson, my son took a major algebra 1 test. His grade increased by 14 points from the previous test he had taken. The teacher told my son that he had the highest test grade in the whole class. My son states that Gene L. is patient and explains the algebra 1 concepts to him. We are very fortunate to have Gene L. for our tutor.
