I inspire my tutees to approach their studies with curiosity and perseverance. I show them that learning is a combination of perseverance and creativity.
Each of us is unique, with a special capability for learning and using that knowledge.I let tutees set their own goals and find their best methods for fulfilling assignments or assessing what they have done, whenever I can. I am there as a guide to light their paths.
We all learn best when we can create and engage in the task at hand. My lessons are tailor-made; together we find the way to achieve their goals.

My Reviews
Lisa’s feedback was incisive and perceptive; she has a great ability to pick up on complex and detailed writing issues. The objective input was invaluable, and quickly helped me establish the main recurring errors in my writing style. The feedback will help improve all my future writing.

Lisa has a passion for writing, which is contagious and a deep commitment to helping her student to progress. I felt so valued, supported and encouraged by her. This enabled me to relax and experiment with my writing. I particularly appreciate Lisa’s flexible and collaborative style of teaching – she always welcomed my input and designed the session to suit my needs.
