About Elizabeth


Bio

I have been tutoring math for over 15 years with students as young as 4 and as old as 50. My general approach includes the following:

(1) listen to student's concerns and their interests (this will help me draw powerful content connections during lessons and improve knowledge retention) ;
(2) leverage my expertise in teaching in learning to scaffold student learning; and
(3) help students develop skills so they can be masters of their own learning.

SAT Math

SAT Math

I have tutored students in SAT and ACT prep for over 5 years , all with great success.
Study Skills

Study Skills

In my prior experiences as a tutor, work management skills have been a critical element. I've worked with students to set goals, timelines, or even simple routines to aid them in achieving their study and homework goals. I also incorporate these skills into my own life - that's what has enabled me to complete research for my master's degree in engineering, and continues to aide me in my doctoral research. Rather than hoping techniques simply "rub off" on students, I talk with them through their existing approach to completing work, identifying where we can work together to improve. My students almost always develop a sense of independence - the most gratifying payment for me as a tutor and mentor!

An exceptional and knowledgeable tutor!!!

We found Liz by chance and she has been an incredible tutor for my daughter. My daughter has said she learned more from Liz during a couple of meetings than she did during an entire semester at school.

Fantastic tutor and great role model for my girls

My girls are now doing extremely well in math. A subject that they used find very challenging is now one of their favorite! Liz explains concepts very clearly and in a way my girls can understand. Liz has given both of my girls confidence and is an excellent role model for them.

So happy!!

I cannot express how grateful I am that Elizabeth could meet on such short notice. My son had a test coming up that he was doomed to fail and I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to find him any help. She was wonderful!! My son has a renewed confidence in his abilities after just one session. His test is in a couple days and he feels ready to face it. I couldn't be more pleased. We will definitely keep Elizabeth's contact info close at hand as I'm fairly certain that we will need her again. Thanks so much, Elizabeth!!

Fantastic!!

Ms. Liz has helped my 6 year old son with his reading, vocabulary, and comprehension so much, it is just amazing. He loves his time with her, and looks forward to his reading lessons with Ms. Liz each week. Ms. Liz keeps him engaged, interested and focused during the lesson, and has ways of making even the most tedious of tasks such as vocabulary and grammar interesting. Ms. Liz also does a very good job of integrating the parent's goals of tutoring and the school's curriculum with my son's learning style.

Elizabeth gets an A+ from us!

My daughter, an 8th grader, gave Elizabeth rave reviews and stated that Elizabeth quickly gets to the root of the problem areas and then helps you work through the problems in a style that the student understands. Elizabeth teaches concepts in a clear, warm, and nonthreatening way - a natural teacher. Easy to recommend highly. Would definitely use again.

Good job!

Things went great, and my daughter got the clarification she was looking for. We would like to set up regular once-a-week visits if possible. Thank you.

Engaging and very positive

Elizabeth has turned out to be just what my daughter needed. My 15 year old 10th grader quite suddenly began failing Algebra 2, dropping from B to a D. She has always been a good student so this was very frustrating for her. After struggling through a painful marking period, trying to get help from the teacher, doing extra work and getting nowhere, we decided to find a tutor before she got too far behind. At the very first lesson I knew this would be a good fit. Liz came ready to ask questions, really listen to my daughter, and create a plan that would work for her. My daughter came out smiling! When we left Liz was on her way to research some books for another student.(We meet a the library) She really cares about her students and is giving my daughter back her self-confidence.

Great tutor for my 6 year old

Elizabeth "Liz" was wonderful. My son loved her and said he wished that she was his teacher every day in school. He was happy to learn with her and is looking forward to their next sessions.
