I first met Lena the summer going into my Freshmen year of high school. Lena transformed my perspective on literature. Her classes were always thought-provoking and intellectually-challenging. Nevertheless, she always ensured that our class sessions were enjoyable. Over the years, I have become better writer and a stronger critical thinker because of Lena's methods of teaching, and I would not have been where I am today without her help :)

Lena is a great tutor. She was preparing my son for SAT this year. My son's english score in the pre-test SAT was 420. Lena brought him up to 580. The lessons were very convenient, for a month they were at home, but then it was via Skype, that saved us time.The importance of the tutor/teacher (imo) is not only to teach the subject but to build an interest to the subject. Lena presents all the qualities of the awesome teacher.

My son Aiden has been tutoring with Lena for almost 2 years now. He struggled with English, mainly writing and comprehension. After he started tutoring with Lena, we saw a significant improvement to his writing skills. Aiden used to write very short, uninformative answers to any questions (ex: "I went to Disneyland. It was fun." without any other details) but now he writes essays with lots of detail and his teacher praised his writing!

Lena's expertise was worth every penny. She was patient and really connects with students. Goes above and beyond the expectations for teachers and tutors. My son was tutored by Lena all throughout high school and she made even the most difficult AP classes simple.

Lena has been tutoring my daughter since she was a 7th grader. Now my daughter is at 10th grade and still continue works with Lena . She is a wonder teacher and knows her materials inside and out. Lena is extremely patient, and has done a great job explaining difficult concepts. Easy to communicate and work with. She is wonderful and we are lucky to have her. I really appreciate her efforts and would highly recommend Lena.

Both my son and daughter have been tutored with Ms. Lena for 3-4 years now and they both LOVE to work with her. My son is a sophomore in high school this year. With Ms. Lena’s help he has been able to clearly organize his thoughts... We have recommended Ms. Lena to many of our friends already. She definitely worth the money you paid for your kids’ future!

My daughter has been tutoring with Lena over three years. Lena has helped her improve in many ways but mostly in analyzing the books they read. Furthermore, in preparing for essays Lena is really helpful in making sure that the sentences are understandable and are written in the most succinct way. We are fortunate to have Lena, and would recommend her!

I worked with Lena for over a year; she helped me succeed on the SAT and aided me in refining my college essays. Lena's tutoring allowed me to increase my reading comprehension and grammar skills, bringing my SAT score from below the 1400s to 1500+. Her insight into my college essays allowed me to tell a story with depth and personal reflection. Lena is great as both a teacher and friend, and I highly recommend her...
