Testimonials
"Why should you go with Liz? Her experience as a teacher, her incredible knack for connecting with students, and her sensitivity. She is the real deal."
"If it weren’t for Liz’s tutoring, our son would not be in college today, and certainly not with a scholarship. We hired a variety of different experts before Liz - executive functioning coaches, highly regarded tutoring companies, tutoring classes for specific classes, and nothing seemed to help. Then Liz came along. We didn’t have high hopes and our son was reluctant to do this, being very discouraged, but Liz encouraged me to have the two of them have a conversation. And lo and behold, he signed on and everything changed from there." -Laura
"Liz worked with our son for his last two years of high school, helping with English and history assignments and essays, and helping him plan and break down overwhelming tasks into digestible bits. She gently encouraged me to get him tested for ADHD, and she was right. Over the summer before senior year, she helped our son with his college essay, tactfully guiding him (and me!) to a more appropriate topic than we had in mind, and she was totally right about it not being appropriate. She helped him create a structure and brainstorm vivid details so his final essay revealed a genuine portrayal of my son. Liz is committed, dedicated, and concerned for her students' success and well-being. I don't think Liz is capable of 'dialing it in!'" –Alison
"Liz is my go-to source for finding high quality and empathic therapeutic, academic, and social resources for my neurodivergent teen. She is as knowledgeable as she is kind and compassionate and has made the journey of mothering a much easier one." -Simone
"Liz Sokolov has been tutoring my college-age (and now graduating!) daughter for two years. Her expertise and support have been indispensable to my daughter’s progress through college. Liz helps with academic content and written assignments but also with executive functioning skills -- the benefits of which extend to all dimensions of academic success. Liz is also a great cheer-leader for her students. Her “can-do” attitude is contagious and often what makes the difference between a child who remains engaged and one who does not. Finally, Liz provided me with updates about my daughter’s progress, what was working and what needed work, every week. This enabled me to understand where my daughter needed more encouragement. In sum, Liz is a highly talented tutor, a consistent source of encouragement for her students, and a strong partner for the family. I cannot recommend her highly enough." -Deborah
"I can’t recommend Liz enough! She tutored our son, who has executive function issues and slow processing. On his own, he would stare at a blank screen, struggling to write. Liz knew just the right questions to ask and supports to offer to get him to produce high quality work. Her gentle nature and teaching experience, coupled with her expertise in students with learning differences, are the ideal combination. Liz made a huge difference in his life, teaching him skills he still uses today. Liz helped him not only survive high school, but thrive." – Lisa
