Not only is Elizabeth an amazing tutor, she is professional, patient, and punctual. She listens and really tries to help my daughter to grasp the concepts and feel comfortable with them before moving on. 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.

She completed her Algebra homework after her tutoring session and seemed more confident. She looks forward to the next tutoring session with Lauren. I really like Lauren's personality as well, and her price is affordable. My daughter mentioned that Lauren was so good with teaching her Algebra 1 and did not make her feel intimidated. This is music to my ears to see my daughter so happy with her tutor. She may now begin to not hate Algebra 1. Thank you Lauren!

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.
