“I am very fortunate to have had Lisa as a tutor for six years. I met Lisa in 2006 when she assisted me with a major high school book report that involved a high percentage of my mark. My assignment was on a book named Fifth Business, which at the time Lisa had never read. She showed true commitment when she took the time to read the entire book in order to further assist and enhance my essay. She was instrumental in enhancing my writing skills and preparing me for university.
Lisa has assisted me throughout my university career with mainly the Arts and Science courses. Her excellent essay writing and research experience contributed towards my high marks in these courses, including an 87% on my final essay at the University of Toronto, the highest essay grade of my academic career. She was disciplined and was flexible with her time. She was sensitive to my needs and was very accommodating to my schedule.
Lisa is very professional, patient and committed to helping with your studies. She is very good with people and provides positive feedback on your ideas and encourages you to do well. My good writing skills are a result of Lisa’s guidance & direction. I am a better writer because of Lisa. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone that requires tutoring, specifically essay writing.”
- Michael (Bachelor of Applied Sciences, Computer Engineering, University of Toronto)
“I met Lisa when I needed help with my Grade 11 and 12 English courses. She is extremely knowledgeable, which made her a vital part of any essay writing process. With her help I was able to quickly expand my writing style and diction and completed Grade 12 English with a final grade of 95%.”

“Making the jump from high school to University can be a big leap and I am glad I had Lisa helping me during my first year. She was extremely pleasant to deal with and truly cared about my success. What she taught me about essay writing helped lay a solid foundation that I found extremely useful throughout my academic career. I would definitely recommend her for anyone who needs help with their writing, regardless of schooling level.”

“Lisa is a force to be reckoned with as a literary tutor. She worked with my son and was able to quickly change his language style and elevate his skills. Her manner is mild and her teaching style kept his focus while she used different strategies to instruct. I’m so pleased and highly recommend her to anyone for any help with mastering the English language.”
- Andreia Florea, Parent
“Lisa is a great listener and gives her students great feedback. I was her student for my final 2 years during university, and she helped me turn my B's into A's. She's more than a mentor and editor; she's also a great person and friend to be around. Thank you Lisa for all your effort :) A+”

“Lisa is an experienced and professional tutor in academic writing/editing. I was able to achieve my goals with Lisa's help during my last two years in U of T. Lisa is also an excellent and resourceful career coach. She helped me with resume and cover letter writing, and provided great advice and prep for interviews. Lisa really cares and supports her students, I would highly recommend her to anyone who struggles in academic writing or needs career counselling.”
- Ken Wen (Bachelor of Arts, Political Science & History, University of Toronto)
“Lisa is a fantastic mentor, writer, life coach, and advisor. Lisa provides critical and professional feedback to enhance my writing skills. Lisa continuously works with me on developing my writing and creativity. Lisa is a very patient, reliable, and organized supporter, who always champions her client’s success and life goals. I’m continually grateful for her advice and encouragement because being a PhD student is challenging at times. Still, Lisa reminds me to stay positive, focused, and to keep breaking down barriers! Lisa will forever be part of my academic, writing, and life journey. I trust her judgement, input, and aspirations for me to accomplish in life!”

“I have known Lisa as a colleague and friend for almost 25 years. I had the honour of being a guest on Lisa's podcast during the pandemic and really had a lot of fun. She asked great questions that I think would be really relevant to the people she coaches and to any one interested in learning more about academia and writing. Lisa is proactive, creative, and really has her clients' best interests in mind. I really appreciate that she cares not just about helping others write better but also BE better.”
