Currently Accepting New Students
Houston native, born and raised! I have a degree in English Literature with a minor in World Cultures and Literatures from the University of Houston. I went from a high school graduate at the bottom of the third quarter to a Magna Cum Laude university graduate, simply because I applied myself to the task and taught myself study skills I'd never had in high school. I pass on those same skills to my students and continue to apply them in my own work as a tutor: I work to stay a step ahead of my...

ISEE
Lisa S. from Houston, TX
My son LOVES Lisa! He actually looks forward to his tutor sessions and has been eager to practice his reading after her first session. We have really lucked out finding her.
Brigitte D. from Houston, TX
Lisa is an excellent tutor. She is always on time and very well prepared. She is very knowledgeable in her subjects. She tailors her lessons around my son's learning style. She keeps him engaged during the lessons. He has learned to work smarter, not harder and has become more efficient. She is very easy to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone! We have referred friends who have also had excellent results and positive experiences with her.
Jozi M. from Houston, TX
Lisa's tutorials are excellent. She is always willing to accommodate our needs based on busy schedules. We truly appreciate her!
Marie P. from Houston, TX
I was struggling in my college American Literature course, mainly with the writing assignments. I started working with Lisa about halfway through the course and managed to pull my grade up to an A! She was very flexible with scheduling and wonderful to work with. She took the time to explain things thoroughly to me and taught me the basis to writing a good paper. I learned things from her that not only helped me in the course, but that will help me in my future. Highly recommended!
Olivia R. from Humble, TX
Lisa and Olivia are making great progress mainly in part because Lisa is coming prepared with the words they will be doing this week. Any parents who read this- get a tutor when your kids are young and start teaching them the 1000 SAT words!!!!!
ILMO J. from Houston, TX
Lisa has been always prepared when she came to my house. We had a lot of discussion to improve our time. I asked a lot and she answered me until I got completely understood. Her homework was well designed with latest issues or historical issues to make me interested in. Especially, she caught my weak points up very quickly and tried to provide good books and references as well as many real-life examples. I really enjoyed the time with Lisa.
Dwinette J. from Houston, TX
She taught my daughter how to write a research paper! She was very patient and very knowledgeable. She was professional and super nice!

She's helping me to pass a college test. Honestly I really like her and she's very patient with me. Lisa is helping me to be a better reader, I can see that she really wants me to be successful. I love the fact she haves so much confident in me and that she believes in me. She cares so much, Thank you Lisa you're the best. I truly recommend her.

Lisa is a knowledgeable and patient tutor. You can depend on her to teach you how to improve your English skills both on speaking and reading.

Lisa really connected with my daughter. Now, she is looking forward to tutoring rather then being scared. That is such a relief.
