Michelle J. from Edison, NJ We have been looking for a tutor for my son's writing for a long time. He is doing well at school. We need someone to help him to get his writing to the top. After research, we found Elizabeth based on the reviews we read about her. After talking to her, we thought she was the right fit. But we were still nervous about it before my son's first lesson and worried about how well she fits to my son's needs. Today after the first lesson, it was a big relief !! Elizabeth is very knowledgable and patient. She went over my son's 2 essays in details and help him on how to brain storm the ideas and how to organize them. Exactly what he needs currently. I was a college teacher before. I can tell she is good at what she does. She made the business serious in a fun way for a nine year old. Only his first class, my son already likes her a lot. Her first class definitely exceeded our expectation. We are confident with her help my son will achieve his goal in writing. Thanks Elizabeth.

Alka S. from Piscataway, NJ She was a tutor for my two sons for almost two years but she was hardy ever there on time. In the middle of the school year she wanted to stop tutoring. After lot of discussion on my concern on impact to my son on switching teachers in the middle of school year, she agreed to start. At the end o school year, I asked her if she would like to continue next school year she said yes. And continued to tutor my kids through summer (probably because they were working longer hours with her). And now when the school year is starting she said she will stop tutoring because it is not profitable for her. If she had told at the beginning of summer break I could have found another tutor and my sons would have been used to working with the new teacher. In short I feel cheated. I have also conveyed this feedback in email. A note on tutoring - I started tutoring with her because I wanted improvement in my sons vocab but that has not really changed based on Terra Nova scores.
Patrick S. from Parlin, NJ Elizabeth is an excellent tutor. She covered everything I needed to know in preparation for my SAT test. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help.

I am looking forward to Elizabeth working with my child through the rest of the school year and perhaps even the next.
