Though I have been teaching for many years, as a college professor (10 years), and as a private tutor (20 years), I still get excited by helping students reach their fullest potential. Learning comes through a teacher's deep knowledge of the material, creative lesson planning, patient instruction, and a persistent willingness to try almost anything to get something across. Students can be visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or combination learners. I switch from one teaching mode to another to...

Very patient and a wealth of resources
Lisa was very professional and very knowledgeable. I was introduced to the basics of Quizlet which I’m really enjoying. We spent some time doing a Q&A getting to know each other trying to understand my learning DNA. And then we got to work. She clearly has a good way of teaching complicated stuff and making it seem very simple.

Great SAT English tutor for my 16 year old son!
Lisa was expressive and knowledgable about what to expect. She came prepared and explained the process she was using. My son liked her very much and said he could work easily with her- we will use her again!

Experienced Teacher
Lisa was very experienced, knowledgeable and flexible. She was patient and gave important feedback for improvement areas. Overall, it was a great first session, my 12 year old seems to have had a good learning experience as well!

Great!!!
Lisa is knowledgeable and helpful! She helped my daughter revise basic math concepts for the GRE and gave her guidance on how to study for the test. Highly recommend!

Great Italian tutor
Lisa was very knowledgeable of the language. She was patient but gave important feedback to improve my learning. She is also flexible with meeting times. I am a mother of three so my schedule can be a bit crazy. I think we had a good rapport.

Lisa is a patient and knowledgable tutor!
We requested Lisa as a tutor for a beginning college level Italian class. Lisa is an excellent Italian tutor. She is very methodic and organized in her Italian instruction. Her passion for the Italian language and culture is extremely obvious. Many thanks!

Up to the challenge...and then some!
I posted in my initial search that my daughter had some social, emotional, and learning differences, as I wanted to be very up front that what a tutor might encounter in MY home would likely be quite different than what one might find in the home of a neuro-typical child who is actually self-motivated to learn or to improve her grade. Lisa responded to my ad immediately despite the issues I forewarned of, wanting to learn more about my daughter’s needs. Prepared for the worst, Lisa arrived the very next day, fully armed and up for the challenges she might be faced with. And I have to say, she COMPLETELY wowed me with her ability to make an instant connection with my daughter, build that rapport throughout the session, and to keep her focused on learning, despite her tendency to drift away. My daughter lasted at least 105 minutes of tutoring (absolutely unheard of for her!), had fun while doing so, and made some nice strides in her self esteem regarding her own belief that she in fact IS capable of learning this challenging material! Lisa had initially expressed concern (on the phone to me) about my description of my daughter “making snap judgments”, and Lisa warned me, “I’m a little bit grandmotherly—have you SEEN my profile photo? How will she respond to an older person?” (Typically an older person, AND a woman, would NOT be my daughter’s preference, but I was feeling a little bit desperate and I also couldn’t believe the good fortune that this ONE local tutor might be able to help my daughter pass BOTH Geometry AND French!) And boy, was I pleasantly surprised. This “grandma” had more energy, tolerance, and an innate ability to re-direct my often defiant, unfocused, and unfiltered daughter than most of her teachers and tutors have been able to do throughout her entire academic career. I can only hope the remaining tutoring sessions go 1/2 as well as the first session did. This particular grandma rocks, she totally “gets it”, and she makes learning fun.

First Lesson
My first lesson went very well. I have been trying to self teach for many years. Within the first hour of our meeting I was able to clear up some confusion I've had for many years in regards to the use of my grammar. I look forward to future lessons with Lisa.
