Welcome! I'm Lisa, and my desire is to get you where you want and need to be scholastically. Let me just say that I love to assist in the education of individuals of all ages! First, allow me to share a little bit about my educational background:

Welcome! I'm Lisa, and my desire is to get you where you want and need to be scholastically. Let me just say that I love to assist in the education of individuals of all ages! First, allow me to share a little bit about my educational background:

I am a cum laude graduate of one of the country's top ranked private learning institutions; I have extensive experience as a tutor in several subjects, including but not limited to Mathematics, English grammar and mechanics, and ESL (English as a Second Language) at the elementary, secondary and college levels; I have two children, both of whom I have been homeschooling for a combined 5+ years. I have done editing and proofreading for a number of publishing companies, aspiring authors, and students, and I am also an avid chess player/tutor in my spare time.

The initial core curriculum on my educational path was in Foreign and Classical Languages with focus on becoming an International Translator. However, as I continued my education, I found that I have a knack for helping others grasp certain learning concepts. So, I decided to shift my focus and attention to assisting those who may have difficulty with comprehension or who maybe just need some additional support.

I love being a part of the expansion of knowledge on all fronts. I believe everyone deserves quality education, so when an individual is able to deepen their level of understanding in any area of academia, and I'm able to facilitate or contribute to that, it is the most rewarding and gratifying experience.

I have vast knowledge in math, including everything from basic elementary mathematics to Calculus, with a specialty in Algebra 1 & 2.

Math Tutoring for Rising 5th Grader

My daughter has had two math tutoring lessons so far as she works diligently to avoid the “summer slide”. Miss Lisa is extremely warm and I can see why children love her. My daughter says “it doesn’t feel like an hour!”… a sign of an engaging and thoughtful educator. We look forward to seeing our progress.

Relatable and customized sessions

Our high school junior who was reluctant to do tutoring now looks forward to her sessions with Lisa. She has worked with us to address specific skills. Instead of being frustrated, our daughter feels encouraged and empowered. She has exceeded our expectations.

Knowledge and patience

The most important thing is that my daughter really likes her. She had a great vibe on the first tutoring session. I got a great vibe as well. After the first session she told me things my daughter should work on and she will be great in Algebra l.

First impression

Lisa is exactly what my daughter needs. My daughter is timid, but towards the end of our first meeting, my daughter started to open up. I believe this is a great match and can't wait to see my daughters first report card.

Engaging and knowledgeable!

Lisa has been a great chess tutor for our 7 year old. My daughter looks forward to her tutoring sessions and is happily engaged with Lisa during the sessions. Lisa has a great way about her in being able to connect and make these sessions fun while learning. I would highly recommend Lisa.
