great wealth of knowledge
Valerie, 38 lessons with LisaLisa knows her stuff!!!! Not only is my daughter improving with her writing but her standardized test scores went up big time!
Houston native, born and raised! I have a degree in English Literature/Minor in World Cultures from the University of Houston. My junior year of college, one of my professors recruited me to work at her writing center tutoring UH students. This was the moment I discovered teaching! In my senior year I taught freshman English, one of 4 undergrads in the position. After graduation I went right to work for a local tutoring company, quickly becoming their top consultant in college application...

A tutor who helps your children "think" differently.
So far so good. Lisa is reaching my boys with different thought techniques for their upcoming SAT. She is patient and takes the time to explain the reasons behind the answers. I would highly recommend.

Very helpful and puts in the work! A's for the last three years, including AP English Lang
Lisa has been great for my son. She makes the time to schedule extra lessons when necessary, communication is great, and most importantly she is invested in my son's needs and assignments. She will take the time to read works she isn't familiar with and her writing help has been fantastic. My son has been with her 9th through 11th grade so far and received an award for the highest grade in his AP English Language class. I highly recommend Lisa if you are looking for an English tutor at any level!

knowledgeable and dedicated tutor
My son began struggling with classic novels after entering 10th grade, so I started looking for a tutor on Wyzant. Lisa’s profile stood out to me because she mentioned that she reads the same books students are assigned in class. That level of commitment impressed me, so I decided to hire her. I really appreciate Lisa’s personality—she’s straightforward, open, and flexible. Most importantly, she followed through on her promise. She read every book my son was assigned and provided him with thoughtful, effective guidance. He enjoys working with her and feels more confident in his reading and understanding. I highly recommend Lisa to any parent or student looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable tutor.

5 star
Exceptional tutoring for our 5th grader! Her approach to introducing and reinforcing ICEE concepts is both fun and effective. Our child is genuinely excited for each session and has shown notable progress. We are truly grateful for her dedication and expertise.

Knowledgeable Mentor to the kids
Ms. Lisa has been a very impressive educator to our son. She definitely shows qualified skills and knowledge about the teaching material. But most importantly, she has a subtle and elegant way to encourage child to critical thinking, challenging the status quo mindset, and these all contribute to a child that, all of sudden, wants to learn, try, and practice their study. She is an observer during initial sessions, make efforts to communicate and learn how the child thinks and works out tailored plan for the child. Definitely a good educator to trust and recommend.

Knowledgeable, professional & prepared tutor
Lisa came prepared to the session to help my daughter map out a prompt for a 12 page college paper on a British novel. She was excellent with helping my daughter brainstorm some ideas for her paper and organize her thoughts. She had a great experience working with Lisa will definitely seek help from her again.

Good ISEE tutor
Lisa helped my daughter prepare for the ISEE test. It was the first time for her to take a test. Lisa taught her strategies and time management. My daughter felt confident when test day came. Her scores greatly improved from the practice test she took initially.

knowledgeable and encouraging tutor
Lisa worked with my son for almost 2 months to prepare him for the ISEE test. She was very knowledgeable, encouraging, and easy to work with. She even had homework for him between lessons which I loved. My son is well prepared and feels so much more confident after working with Lisa.

Engaging and connected tutor
Lisa connected with my daughter, who is zoom-weary already and was reluctant to add more at home schoolwork. She found common ground with her and soon I heard engaging conversation and laughter! She tailored her style to what I knew my daughter needed and to what she learned in their first session.
