“Reading, Grammar, SAT prep Elizabeth has been a vital part of all things related to English and language arts in our home for our 13-year-old son entering 8th grade and our soon-to-be 15-year-old daughter entering 10th grade. Both children enjoy working with her and are eager to meet Elizabeth online without any issues. They leave each lesson feeling accomplished. Elizabeth sets the tone for everything because she understands where each child needs to succeed. She’s what I would call a traditional English teacher with traditional values and expectations of her students. Elizabeth understands all aspects of the subject matter. She is equally flexible, kind, and provides just enough detailed follow-up after each lesson, making it easy for us as parents to reinforce her work at home. :)”

Knowledgeable and engaging tutor Elizabeth guided my son in understanding the many themes and characters in The Great Gatsby. She then helped him outline his paper and guided him through his analysis, sentence structure, and organization. My son learned a lot and gained more confidence in how to write an English paper!

Amazing Tutor for College Applications Elizabeth helped me apply to 20 schools in two weeks. She helped me write all of the supplemental essays and the personal statement. My work was completely quickly and relatively effortlessly all thanks to Elizabeth. From Ivy League to state schools she will cover you.

SAT reading My daughter was struggling with the SAT reading portion, with just 2 classes with Elizabeth we saw a significant improvement. Her teaching style is excellent and she is very good in analyzing where the gaps are and fixed on them
