Mary T. from Fort Lauderdale, FL

I found Elena on WyzAnt three weeks before my daughter was to take the SAT. She needed to raise her math score 60 points to qualify for the scholarship she wanted, and math is not her strong subject. Elena was very encouraging, patient and taught her the strategies necessary to do well on the test. My daughter raised her score 60 points with only three weeks preparation - thanks to Elena! I highly recommend Elena as a tutor.


Christy A. from Fort Lauderdale, FL

Very individualistic approach. Seemed interested to teach and happy. Would happily schedule with Elena again and would definitely recommend (especially if you are western Broward County)!


Samer A. from Fort Lauderdale, FL

Elena has been a wonderful tutor. She made Math the most easiest subject in no time and no stress. After years from being away from college, I can master Math with no fear. She has a very unique way in teaching with different strategies. She makes Math fun and simple. I have been taking several classes and she didn't only helped on solving the problems but in thinking in a smart way. She has wide range of knowledge in other subjects too and helped me understanding physic and some statistics. I am going to have her help on statistics too. I have tried several tutors and it was wast of time and money. I definitely recommend her for my daughter and for every one looking for good investment in exam preparation. She was my only savior and I wish her all of success in her life.


Jim S. from Fort Lauderdale, FL

Elena helped my daughter get through a very difficult time in her studies. Her approach was customized to my daughter's needs and specific situation. Having dealt with tutors before, most have a set way to teach. Elena takes the time to evaluate her student while teaching and, in a short time, knows what will work with that individual at that time. Elena made it interesting, fun, and informative. If we ever need a tutor again, she will always be our first choice. Thanks Elena


Diana H. from Fort Lauderdale, FL

Originally my daughter needed help with physics. Since she has been tutored by Elena, her grade in physics has gone up from a B to an A+. Whenever my daughter needs help in another subject such as calculus, Elena is both willing and prepared to teach. Finally, Elena is not only tutoring my daughter to do well in school but also is teaching her to tackle problems in standardized tests.


Thailin J. from Miami, FL

Elena is very patient. She enjoys her job and makes the material easy to understand. I 100% recommended her; you won't regret it!


Daniella C. from Hollywood, FL

Working with Elena was an absolute pleasure. I came across her profile on WyzAnt and from my first session with her I knew she would be an instrumental person in my GMAT preparation. Having taken the GMAT herself, Elena truly understood my needs. She was able to explain complicated math concepts in simple ways I could easily understand and apply. She was very patient and generous with her time. Taking the GMAT is stressful, and Elena was able to make studying for this exam a lot more pleasant. I highly recommend Elena, and if I ever need tutoring in additional subjects I will undoubtedly contact her again.


Michele H. from Torrance, CA

Elena is an excellent tutor. She helped my daughter get from a C to an A in pre-calculus within one semester. She is always accessible and willing to help. She is kind, patient and easy to understand. I believe it takes more than proficiency to be a great math tutor, it takes care and concern for the students success and Elena has all those qualities and more.


Kim L. from Fort Lauderdale, FL

Elena has been a blessing. Our son was failing every Algebra 2 test but has passed the last two (scores of 72% then a 98%) after starting lessons with Ms. B. She responded to my initial request for assistance very quickly, and has been prompt to the scheduled lessons (at the local library). Ms. B. has been flexible to our need for saturation teaching and has managed her schedule to make sure she is able to provide the time (twice a week). My son was also told that she would be happy to respond to any questions he might have in-between lessons, all he has to do is text her. She is very professional and takes her responsibility seriously.


Hailee C. from San Pedro, CA

Extremely disappointed. Was taught via YOUTUBE. could have done this at home. Thankfully WyzAnt has the one hour guarantee and immediately refunded me one hour back to my total payment.


Jeremy P. from Redondo Beach, CA

I haven't take a math class in over two years, it is my least favorite subject and a source of extreme anxiety for me. That being said Elena has helped me SO much! I'm in a difficult course right now with a professor who is less than extraordinary but Elena has really helped to fill in all of the gaps plus more! She explains things in a simple, concrete manner which makes them easy to understand, and caters to my learning sensibilities well! I got an 80% on my first midterm; that is the HIGHEST grade I have gotten in a math class since maybe the 5th or 6th grade. She is so kind, and has stayed over her paid time with me more than once to make sure I grasp the concepts. It is so comforting to have a tutor who makes me feel like she genuinely wants me to succeed! Thank you Elena!


Alexis L. from Hawthorne, CA

I have always struggled with math, and most tutors lose their patience with my lack of comprehension in the field. I have to say this has been my BEST experience with a tutor in all my years of school. I struggled to understand Statistics, and felt like I was learning a whole new language. Thanks to Elena I was able to comprehend the material and pass the class at UCLA. The many hours of hard work and dedication on both ends, made the class so much easier and tolerable. Her easy going demeanor helped when trying to reach out to her and ask questions without the feeling of judgment. Hands down best tutor I have worked with!


Alice S. from Torrance, CA

Elena brings in her expertise from her Engineering and USC MBA background. I'm so glad to have Elena as my daughter's Algebra 2 Honors tutor. She's a patient, great person! She is a well qualified Math tutor with her vast knowledge, patience, and great communication skills to simplify complicated questions to where they are easy to grasp. My daughter's grade improved from B to A. Elena is a good match for my daughter. Thank you Elena. Give her a try and you will be glad!


Gina B. from Lomita, CA

Elena is a great math tutor. My nephew went from an F in algebra to a B+ in two short weeks. He says he cant believe how easy she makes math seem. His confidence in math has really soared since he started his lesson with her.


Jennifer M. from Torrance, CA

Elena is very patient with me. I'm 30+ and headed back to school, re-entering the math world yet again. It's never been my strong point, nor my favorite. It's one of those necessary things though. I knew I needed a tutor prior to class to help refresh my brain on some basic algebra skills and she really helped with that. She got me back up to speed on some of the solid basic concepts needed to get into a Int Algebra class without being too lost! Now that the semester is underway I'm still working with her when I get myself into an area I'm uncomfortable with and need a better explanation on how to do the problems. She'll explain it to you, demonstrate the steps needed to solve the problem, then have you work multiple problems so she can make sure you understand what you're doing. She's a wonderful compliment to a fast paced class where it's hard to catch your breath!


Hiro K. from Torrance, CA

Elena is the 2nd tutor we've used for physics and the results have been marvelous compared to the 1st tutor. The grades earned really tell the story of whether a tutor is effective or not and so far we have no complaints. Elena seems to be accurate in her anticipation of what should be emphasized and not emphasized in preparation for exams. The results of her efforts have been very positive and it shows in the grades earned in the class.


Denise M. from Torrance, CA

My daughter and I have found Elena to be patient and understanding in explaining the most difficult concepts. Her grade in Physics improved a grade and we are happy with the tutoring experience we have received. She cares about her students and it shows!!


Michelle M. from Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

Elena has tutored my son in Algebra 1 for several months now. He can be easily distracted and Elena has been very patient with him and very good at getting him to focus again. Thanks to Elena he understands his homework better and has shown improvement in his grade. Plus she's a really nice person.


Caroline T. from Torrance, CA

Elena is the sweetest! I contacted her last minute to help me on a collage exam I was not prepared for and she made room for me not only one, but TWO days to ensure I was prepared for my exam! She has a very clear understanding of math and a beautiful way of explaining it that makes math seem easy! I can't wait to continue our tutoring sessions from this point on!


Angelica S. from Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

Elena has been a great tutor for my daughter. She is very patient and knowledgeable. My daughter is improving in her math skills and she is now starting with her Spanish sessions as well. Very happy we found Elena, I highly recommend her.


Maria N. from Marina Del Rey, CA

Elena was very knowledgeable and helpful when we were working on my Marketing project. Also, she has a great personality, and it makes it easier to communicate with her. Highly recommend!!!!


Linda T. from Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

My son took his first tutorial lesson with Elena yesterday and he loved it. He said that when he asked questions, Elena could explained them clearly and easy for him to understand. We are very lucky to have Elena as my son's math tutor!


Barbara V. from Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA

Elena has been working with my daughter for many months now and I have seen a major improvment in her grades. She takes a personal interest in her success and has a very positive attitude which has had an impact on how my daughter is performing. I recommend her highly.


Stephanie Y. from Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

Elena makes it very easy to understand any subject. The way she goes about teaching and explaining topics is very methodical. She explains things in a way that makes it very easy to comprehend. For example, in my Spanish class, I was having trouble remembering how to conjugate verb tenses. Elena came up with a step by step process that I can easily remember which made it extremely simple for me to conjugate any verb.


May R. from Fort Lauderdale, FL

Elena helped my daughter for her 1st year in college classes for math. For me she has been so easy to reach and always available to talk to when needed. I observed the first class, she knows her material, is patient, and on time. My daughter's comments about her is that she really cares she said that she even watches her face expression and keeps asking if you understand! She knows her material very well. Many people are good in math but few can teach it well and reach our youths mind and heart and give them the confidence that they can do it on their own. My daughter was getting a C in the class before Elena was helping her. After the classes she was able to get 98% on her final and ended up with A in the class. I am truly appreciative and thankful for finding her.


Beth G. from Fort Lauderdale, FL

My son had some make up quizzes for pre-calculus and was totally lost. He had to pass these quizzes or his college admission to FSU would be voided as he was in danger of getting a D in the class. I found Elena on this site and much to my relief she was able to meet with him on very short notice. She was knowledgeable, patient, and interested in helping him. He did well enough to pass the class and soon will be off to college!


Simon S. from Fort Lauderdale, FL

When I was in desperate need of help to review for my Ap Physics 1 ap exam, I was able to quickly contact Elena and set up a couple appointments. At an affordable price, Elena was able to coach me into understanding all of my problems with physics and find new ways to solve each problem. This proved to be very beneficial because her exploratory skills are superb and ultimately enhanced my physics abilities and test taking strategies, proving successful when I took the ap exam.


Cynthia B. from Naples, FL

Elena helped me through Statistics. Her intuition to my style of learning was awesome, it relaxed me and assisted me in math. Elena, you are truly a professional and committed instructor. See you next semester.


Carissa H. from Hollywood, FL

I highly recommend Elena for tutoring. I am in college and had to take a physics class online. I had a difficult time trying to understand the subject and finally had to turn to tutoring. Elena actually taught the subject to me. She was very patient and made sure I understood what she going over before teaching me another concept. She always worked around my crazy schedule. I would never have passed the class without her.


Joy S. from Puyallup, WA

Elena and I reviewed transnational motion for my Dynamics course. She is very knowledgeable and patient. She was great to work with.


Lise P. from Atascadero, CA

Elena is very knowledgable about calculus and really understands the importance of cementing the basics and explaining ideas in new ways with a very open perspective.
