Welcome! I’m Elizabeth.
Academic coach & Latin tutor, Ivy League grad, and unwavering optimist dedicated to helping your teen excel in school with joy and purpose.
Dear parent,
The fact that you’re here tells me something about you:
You’re a busy family with a teen who has big academic goals. And yet, your child can get overwhelmed by the pressure to excel in school and lose sight of that special sauce that makes them uniquely qualified to have a powerful impact on the world in their own amazing way.
Balance, motivation, organization, and grades can slip, or perhaps they’re feeling stressed and anxious about trying to keep it ALL up. They might even feel as if no one understands what they’re going through.
Throw in a dash of perfectionism (hello, high school me!), and this recipe can overshadow your child’s ability to find harmony and feel awesome in and out of school.
Your child is not alone in feeling these things. And you are not alone in feeling overwhelmed by your efforts to support them.
I’ve found that parents like you are looking for more than a tutor; you want a mentor coach, someone your child can connect with, who can guide them through academic challenges to create amazing results, and instill a love of life-long learning.
Life is much more than one test, one subject, one achievement. Ultimately, you want something that makes your teen come ALIVE and helps them gain clarity, momentum, and the confidence to take on challenges with ease, create their own opportunities, and become a brave, curious, and self-driven young adult.
As a Brown grad with a double major in Latin with Honors and biology, I know from experience what it takes to make the grade and do so with a sense of joy and purpose.
My superpower is to help your child go from stuck and stressed to engaged, flexible, and empowered. I can show your teen how to use their unique strengths to flourish, from discovering the driving forces behind the big goals to creating a roadmap and simple and effective strategies to reach them, and doing so with greater ease, balance, and happiness.
My students have received acceptances to Harvard, Cornell, USC Marshall, University of Michigan, Penn, Vassar, Wesleyan, and more.
