Fabulous Tutor

Elizabeth has been tutoring my daughter in AP Chemistry. Elizabeth is great with communication, and my daughter has found her extremely helpful. I would highly recommend!

Melanie, 12 lessons with Elizabeth

The best tutor ever!

Elizabeth helped me with AP chem, and I had been so confused before because I didn’t have a great teacher. Elizabeth helped explain everything in a way that made so much sense, and if I still was confused, she explained it all in a different way until I got it! She is so kind and I’m so lucky I found her!

great teacher with lots of knowledge to share

Elizabeth helped my daughter with her AP Chem class. She was responsive and came prepared with the materials needed to guide her through the topics we asked her to cover in advance. Very easygoing and kind, we highly recommend this teacher!
