Tutoring Testimonials
"Tutoring with Miss Elise was fun for my 7 year old daughter. She made so much progress and moved up in her reading levels. The sessions incorporated sensory breaks I didn't even know she needed but were clearly helpful. I shared these ideas with the classroom teacher. My daughter looked forward to the 'teacher' coming to her house. Highly recommend!"

"My 8 year old son has ADHD and we wanted to hold off putting him on medication as long as possible. He struggles in school with focusing and needs to move around a lot. We had several tutors, but they moved on. I'm sure it was because he was hard to work with. Elise took the time to talk to me on the phone and get a good feel for what my son's academic and behavioral needs were. She did not seem put off. She even comforted me saying that many of her students have focusing and behavior problems. She was coming prepared. Elise was nurturing and firm. She was indeed not put off by my son's attempts of avoiding working with her. She confidently told me to leave the room and she would call me if there was something she couldn't handle. Of course I would listen from the next room. My son eventually did the work she asked of him with frequent breaks using his ipad, bouncing on a hippity hop she brought, rolling on the floor she explained for deep and calming pressure. To be honest, my son didn't look forward to more schoolwork after school, but it was the most productive learning experience he had." L.H., Pompton Plains, NJ
"When Elise came it gave me a break and I knew my son was in good hands. She used Orton Gillingham for getting him to start reading. He is proud of himself and we are proud of him. We are thankful for Elise's patience and knowledge."
