I enjoy helping students as they embrace their essay assignments with trepidation - I am there to help. For as long as I can remember, the curiosity of a young student brings me joy. I have also tutored online children in an orphanage in Bali. Being able to connect and help children with the English language is spectacular and inspiring. I am in the prime of my life with a Master's Degree in English Literature, as well as a Teach English as a Second Language Certificate holder. My aim is to kindly assist children, teens, and adults who enjoy or struggle with reading and writing: I use humor, kindness and a let's get it done methodology.

I proudly hold an ESL/TESOL certificate, as well as a Master's Degree in English Literature with a focus on Tolstoy's short stories and modern narrative poet, Robinson Jeffers - both brilliant! Additionally, I self-published a novella entitled: "Frankie's Angel - A Child's Tale of Loss and Recovery." This creative non-fiction work is autobiographical with a heavy dose of an irreverent shadow figure. Tapping into an emotional life experience with the help of humor, truth and creative writing-sometimes brings relief, answers and clears the slate for the better.

If you LOVE English or not so much - I'm a patient, kind, fun tutor who can help you excel at your craft. Additionally, if you are not fond of writing - I know many of you - we can get essays completed without tears. I look forward to working with you. sincerely, Lisa

Our favorite English tutor

Lisa is wonderful and has made a huge difference for my son who due to ADHD struggles with essays and English writing yet he is off the charts smart. She is the perfect fit for him to make lessons fun, filled with patience yet making sure he is staying on task. My son is in 8th grade.

Great writing tutor for a engineering student

Lisa does a great job working with my son, who is an engineering student who struggles with writing. She has worked with my son for several sessions helping him to frame his thinking and writing last semester, and is currently working with him during the summer to continue to improve his reading and writing. Highly recommend her!

Attention to detail

Lisa reviewed my long Capstone paper, although it was impossible for her to read the entire document (145 pages + Appendix) within 5 hours, she did a good job of reading through the main sections and made decent edits and good suggestions. She also asked some good thought provoking questions as part of her edits. I would recommend Lisa for tutoring support especially if you have smaller size documents (<100 pages) to have better quality and thorough review within the stipulated 5 hours. Even within limited time, Lisa demonstrated her keen sense of observation and critical thinking very well! She also responded quickly to my questions!

Thank you kindly Binda for the opportunity! All the best! Lisa

Thank you Lisa for a great semester!

When my college communications class required a 5-minute, recorded, persuasive speech - I froze! Lisa was phenomenal in understanding my need for guidance in researching for the information, how to map it out for the speech as well as some tough Love when she assigned that I hang up the speech on a big poster and become familiar with it a bit more each day. I read the speech aloud each day and my family was super interested and encouraging. Lisa coached my speaking style and helped me to boost my confidence to achieve something I thought impossible! Her patience and expertise also helped me to accomplish how to plan and write rhetorical essays. It was a lot of work but worth it. Thank you Lisa for a great semester!

Patient, fun tutor!

My son was struggling with his ELA assignments and reading comprehension. Although he is in honors, he dislikes reading. Lisa was able to engage with him and he has made so much progress. He now gets the high 90s on his tests. We are more than thrilled with the practice, support, and confidence boost Lisa was able to provide in such a short period. We hope to continue with Lisa long-term. :)
