CA Multiple Subj Clear Credentialed teacher tutors K-Adult Ed

I've been fingerprinted and TB tested and can provide this information upon request. I have taught preschool, K-12, and ESL(English as Second Language)in adult education over the past 22 years. I've kept in touch with many of my students. One of my first students in preschool has graduated high school and begun college. I love teaching and tutoring so much that I can't think of anything else I'd much rather be doing. I've shared this with many of my former students year after year. "If you...

ADD/ADHD

I have had over 20 years of experience in the classroom. There have been students in my classroom who have had physical disabilities, ADD, ADHD, Autism, Bipolar, and other challenges. Some showed the outward signs of their challenges, others blended in. Some were diagnosed, others were not but showed signs. Some were on medications, others were not. I have used special accommodations such as sitting closer to the front of the classroom, extra time on tests, larger print tests, colored paper and colored tab organizers, etc. in my classroom. Some students went to speech and language teachers, additional small group, and one-on-one classes for part of the day. I have always believed in mainstreaming /or inclusion of a special needs student into the regular education classes. One of my best friends in high school was in a wheel chair. I pushed her from our regular ed English class to her special ed class. She attended this class only part of the day. We ran into each other in college. She moved around the campus well with out the assistance of another in her new electric wheelchair. Today she is married, has her own business, and a son.

Loriann K. from Costa Mesa, CA

Lisa has been a huge blessing to our son Cameron! He has been struggling in grammar & history and with Lisa's help he has improved incredibly. I highly recommend Lisa. She is very patient and is an excellent teacher! Can't say enough!


Douglas C. from Huntington Beach, CA

Was given homework prior to meeting. Didn't finish but tutor and student did problems together. Always explaining how to get end result.


Gloria P. from Santa Ana, CA

So glad we found Lisa. She has been tutoring my father with his English vocabulary since November. His primary language is Spanish. He went from not knowing how to read nor write in English to now reading every sign he sees on the street. I am very happy to see everything he has been accomplishing. I would recommend Lisa 10 times over and over!


Alyson S. from Newport Beach, CA

Lisa has been wonderful with my son, she is very sweet, patient and is having so much fun working with him. My son says that he has learned a lot with just the few times she has been by. Cant wait to use her for my daughter when she gets back from vacation this summer!


Jennifer S. from Huntington Beach, CA

We have had Lisa tutor our daughter a few times and she has always come with a big smile on her face, she is very encouraging and patient. I would highly recommend her.


Sheila U. from Huntington Beach, CA

Lisa is fantastic! She has helped our son in so many ways! He is beyond organized, and confident! Huge difference from last year! We have had Lisa for the past 4 months and we could not be happier! Our son just got honor roll! He looks forward to every meeting with Lisa! We all do as she is not only an amazing tutor, but she is a lovely person! Thank you Lisa!!


Joey G. from Huntington Beach, CA

Thanks to Lisa I feel confident in taking my upcoming GED Writing section. Lisa helped me identify my weak points and strengthened them enough therefore I will pass my GED. Lisa's patience and understanding was a great asset and I highly recommend her to anyone trying to better their education.


Shannon R. from Westminster, CA

Very excited about teaching and the kids like when she comes, makes work easy to understand. We are very pleased with her communication skill and knowledge of material.


Pam Y. from Huntington Beach, CA

Lisa is the best tutor I've ever encountered in my whole life. I hope to continue tutoring with her when I return.


Tony D. from Fountain Valley, CA

Lisa is very patient and works extremely well with my son in reading and writing. She really knows my son's needs and circumstances and works on it. I highly recommend Lisa!


David M. from Stanton, CA

Lisa has a great personality and is well suited for teaching Spanish. She engages students and makes learning fun. Learning a language can be difficult for seniors in our Senior Mobilehome Park so we had to terminate our lessons. Wish we could do it all over again.


Akiko A. from Huntington Beach, CA

There was no way for my stepson to finish Spanish homework and study for the finals without Lisa! Even though it was an urgent request, she made her time to come to our house to help him and he got A on his oral presentation! Thank you Lisa. You definitely helped him!


Tony K. from Huntington Beach, CA

Lisa is never later for her appointment and values the time with students. She is the best tutor you can ask for. She is very patient and systematic. She makes sure that my English skills improve and there is a result after the sessions. Her teaching skills are easy to follow and understand and I do believe that I'm making a lot of progress.


John N. from Fountain Valley, CA

Also, when my children started the lesson with her, she called the book store and help select the right Spanish books for them. The children enjoy the classes so far with Lisa.


Joe N. from Huntington Beach, CA

Though our daughter attended both private tutor and group tutor, we saw a just little improvement. For weeks, we searched for tutors, and Mrs. Lisa's name came up. We read her profile and people's comments, but we were still doubt about those comments. We decided to give it a try. After three sessions, we learn Mrs. Lisa is a very capable tutor and unique styles. Besides improving her math and English tremendously, She has also helped our daughter to enjoy studying (this is quite valuable for us). It has been four months, and Mrs. Lisa continues to impress us. We truly appreciate Mrs. Lisa's professional skills in helping our daughter to excel.


Veronica R. from Westminster, CA

Lisa has been a wonderful tutor for my daughter. She's always on time and gets right into helping my daughter. Lisa is very patient and helpful. She walks my daughter through the math problems and when possible, plays math games to make it more enjoyable. And I truly appreciate how kind she is to my daughter. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone interested in finding a great tutor.


Sheri N. from Huntington Beach, CA

Lisa was terrific! My nephew had been struggling to pass his GED and after hiring Lisa, he accomplished that goal in a short time. She is very patient and an excellent teacher. We are so grateful for her help. Thank you, Lisa!


Michelle K. from Huntington Beach, CA

We couldn't be happier with the support that Lisa has provided to our son. His grade has come up a full letter grade. She is great!!!


Kristine B. from Huntington Beach, CA

My son does not necessarily love school therefore we got him a tutor to help him in a multitude of subjects. Lisa has been wonderful! Not only is she versed in a variety of subjects but my son actually looks forward to meeting with her. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone in need of a patient, easy going, friendly and skilled tutor.


Jo Ann C. from Huntington Beach, CA

Dear Liza, We want to thank you for being so patient with our son. There has been a big improvement in learning with our son and he enjoy's working with you he says you are a keeper.


Suzanne S. from Huntington Beach, CA

From the moment I saw Lisa's big smile and WyzAnt t-shirt I knew I had a winner. She was friendly and accessible, yet professional and focused. She understood my situation quickly and offered concrete, specific examples of how she could help me. And what a varied and interesting background she has! I highly recommend Lisa as a Super Tutor and WyzAnt booster who loves teaching and knows how to get results.


Elvia R. from Orange, CA

Lisa, It has been a pleasure working with you! As you know the ESL classes we scheduled with you was a trial project we took on and we concluded that our employees moral and English skills have improved. Thanks to you!!! We will hope to continue the ESL classes this summer.


Mike K. from Fountain Valley, CA

We couldn't be happier with the support that Lisa has provided for our son. Lisa is patient and thorough in her approach; she is creative in her teaching methods that make learning a fun experience for our son. Lisa is always open and available to provide us with feedbacks and recommendations on matters regarding our child’s education. I especially appreciate the written detail feedbacks that Lisa provides after each lesson.


Adam P. from Los Alamitos, CA

I have taken the GED test three times and didn't pass, signed up for wyant and chose Lisa. She showed me that cutting corners doesn't work, as I found out and my test results showed. She steered me streight and is honest, not trying to take your money. Made math fun and I want to study, thanks Lisa! Be calling you soon for my next life experience!


Irais A. from Santa Ana, CA

Lisa was punctual, friendly, patient and very professional. She addressed my specific needs right away; in three sessions I saw improvement in my areas of need. She has exceptional listening skills. I highly recommend her as a tutor.


Cary C. from Long Beach, CA

We felt very fortunate to have Lisa G. as a tutor for our 11 year old daughter. Our daughter's confidence in math grew as did her grades. Lisa was always punctual and ready to listen as well as teach. We would recommend Lisa with the highest of praise.


Mindy T. from Cypress, CA

She is a really patient and very kind tutor. If you are looking for a tutor to help you improving your English, I think she is the right person.


Tammy G. from Huntington Beach, CA

Lisa is the BEST tutor I have ever met. When she was scheduled to come she was always on time. Plus, it was so neat to see my daughter excited for her “time with Lisa” days. Lisa would make sure she changed it up so that my daughter wouldn’t get bored doing the same thing over and over again. I highly recommend Lisa and hope you give her a try.


Abdul Q. from Huntington Beach, CA

My son said he learned a lot from Lisa. My son improved his grades in school since Lisa started to teach him. My son said she his funny and friendly. She is always patient with us. She is on time, very ethical and never makes any lesson hard.


Heidi V. from Fountain Valley, CA

In just a matter of 2 weeks with Lisa my 20 year old son is much more confident in his work. She has taught him to understand what he is reading and comprehend his homework. He only had 4 weeks to up his grade from an F- half way there- he is at a C now. Lisa is very patient and personable. Thanks Lisa!


Sandra D. from Los Alamitos, CA

Lisa worked with my unmotivated teen to develop his writing skills. She was patient and supportive of his process while providing him honest and helpful feedback about his work. Lisa was reliable, timely and followed up promptly. If we need more support in the future, we will be sure to call her.


Penny E. from Huntington Beach, CA

Lisa has been a great tutor to my 5th grader. I have her working mainly on math with her and she has helped her to better understand what she is learning in school, and has great tricks for remembering math facts. 5th grade math is not what it used to be! Lisa has a sweet demeanor and I can tell that my daughter really likes her. Her enthusiasm and positive feedback have helped my daughter to have more confidence in the subject.


Adrienne G. from Huntington Beach, CA

Lisa G. is the greatest! She has put a new love of learning into my 14 year old son that I have not been able to do! She comes ready to work and makes tutoring a lively, fun experience! Thank you Lisa, and thank you WyzAnt!!


Shaleta S. from Huntington Beach, CA

Lisa has been tutoring my 10 year old daughter for the past 3 months. My daughter looks forward to her tutoring sessions twice awake and she loves working with Lisa. I have noticed an improvement in her self-esteem and her reading comprehension. I would recommend Lisa to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable and dependable tutor.


Christa W. from Huntington Beach, CA

Lisa was very helpful in getting my son organized and on track with his homework. Will continue with her help in the future.
