What Others Are Saying
"Liz is such a talented, experienced, warm, and engaging tutor. When she started with my daughter, who has a reading disability, I knew I had found the right person. They connected immediately. It became my daughter’s favorite part of her day. Most importantly my daughter started to love reading. She has improved greatly in the years they have worked together. Ms. R has a magical way of having fun with students, while also motivating them to do their best. My daughter hasn’t responded to any other tutor this way. And I’m so relieved to know she’s learning with Liz. Highly, highly recommended. Liz is also a master at designing a family schedule, with ways of enforcing routines in a positive way. Both my kids are addicted to screens and have a hard time with adjustments. She offered practical solutions for how to make life a lot smoother. Whenever I listen in on her conversations with them I literally takes notes because her approach is so intuitive, yet loving and firm."
--Emily, mom of 9 and 10 year old
"I am thrilled to share my testimonial about an extraordinary teacher, Ms. Rosenberg. I’ve known Liz for several years. My son Alex loved her kindergarten class! Liz's warmth and enthusiasm created an environment where my son felt safe, valued, and excited to learn. I also really love Liz’s engaging teaching style. Whether it was through interactive games, hands-on activities, or creative storytelling, Liz always found ways to capture the attention of her students and I loved seeing my son’s curiosity and eagerness to participate. I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Rosenberg to any parent seeking an extraordinary teacher for their child."
--Taryn, mom of 7, 11 and 14 year old
"We started to work with Liz at the end of 2020, when our then five-year-old son was beginning virtual Spanish-immersion kindergarten and had no knowledge of the language at all. She kept him engaged and gave him that extra help that he needed to get through this very difficult educational time. Liz is an extraordinary educator and a wonderful and supportive friend to the children that she helps."
--Julia, mom of 7 year old
"Liz is an amazing teacher and tutor. I am lucky that Liz was my oldest daughter's kindergarten teacher and instilled in her a forever love of reading. She has tutored my younger daughter and has helped her to make incredible progress in reading. Liz is kind, incredibly good at what she does, and deeply understands children. I highly recommend her!"
--Allegra mom of 7 and 11 year olds
"My two kids, now 12 and 14, were fortunate enough to have Liz be a central part of their learning from kindergarten onwards. She is able to see what a child needs and show up in those spaces. We are so thankful for her support over the years."
--Sarah, mom of 12 and 14 year olds
"We were lucky to have Ms. Rosenberg working with us when we knew a reading intervention was necessary at a young age (5). Her care, guidance and love of teaching helped our son, who is dyslexic, learn the tools needed to process the alphabet and learn to read. She is patient, persistent, and understands the struggles many elementary school children have, making her an amazing teacher and tutor. Had our son not had the assistance of Ms. Rosenberg 5 years ago, he would be several grade levels below in reading. We are forever grateful."
--Kim, mom of 10 year old
"Over the last three years, Liz's tutoring has made a profound difference in my daughter's life! While we were stuck at home during Covid, my daughter didn't miss a beat largely because of all the invaluable learning she was able to do with Liz over zoom. As a result of their sessions together, Siena's reading and math levels improved by leaps and bounds, and Liz taught her concepts that went well beyond what she learned in the classroom. Siena is now going into an accelerated math program in the fall, and we credit Liz for laying the foundation for Siena to make so much progress in such a short time. More important than anything else, Siena loves working with Liz and she has a unique ability to connect with her that makes the sessions engaging and fun. We highly recommend Liz to anyone who is in need of a high quality tutor."
-- Jason, dad of 5 and 9 year olds
"Liz Rosenberg was formative in Anna’s early education. Before she was our teacher we had been hearing her praises for years at our small school. We felt like we hit the jackpot when Anna was placed in her kindergarten class. Liz is a very present and attentive teacher. She is able to pinpoint a students strengths and struggles and guide them in the right direction. She has the ability to gently empower a student so they can be their own advocates in class, as well as making them feel protected."
--Brenda, mom of 11 and 12 year old
"Liz was the much-loved kindergarten teacher of our now 10-year-old daughter. Her patience and encouragement were instrumental in building Maggie’s confidence as a reader and a writer. Liz is compassionate, insightful, and just an all-around great person!"
--Liz, mom of 10 year old
"We've known Ms. Rosenberg since our oldest was Kindergarten with her over 8 years ago! She is an incredible teacher who really engages the students and encourages a love of learning above & beyond most teachers we've experienced since. She also helped us through the COVID pandemic by offering her zoom tutoring for both of our sons to keep them on track in math and English while they were doomed to Zoom school. They loved working with her and enjoyed learning through her online studies and the activities she introduced. Thank you, Ms. R! We're so grateful to have had your positive influence in our boys' lives over the years!"
--Melanie, mom of 11 and 13 year olds
"Liz was an outstanding teacher during my daughter's kindergarten year. Liz created a warm and inviting classroom environment where all students felt safe and supported. She was able to individualize instruction to meet the needs of each student, and she went above and beyond to help my daughter succeed. She instilled a love of reading in my daughter. Liz is a gifted educator who makes a real difference in the lives of her students."
--Kevin, dad of 8 and 10 year olds
"We love Liz and she did an amazing job helping our oldest over the hump on learning to read."
--Leilah, mom of 7 year old
"Ms. Rosenberg was one of my daughter’s favorite teachers. She looked forward to going to school every day and our family new that she was in great hands. Ms. Rosenberg’s style especially instilled a love of reading in our daughter, which we still see today over 4 years later."
--Jenni, mom of 10 year old
"I love that you are so in tune with each child's individual needs. I love that you expect a lot of the kids while also recognizing that they're young and sometimes just need a hug or a little love."
--Anonymous, mom of 5 year old
"Ms. Rosenberg has worked with our son, and with us, regularly through the year to address any social or behavioral challenges that have emerged. Her path has not been simple discipline, but rather creating a structure that fosters improvement, that sets standards, and clearly defines for him the choices that are available to him, the ones that only he can make, and what the consequences, both negative and positive, can be for those choices. Ms. Rosenberg has been willing to put in extra work and focus to help meet some of his behavioral challenges this school year, and the positive results of that, as with his learning, are clearly evident. We have even adapted some of her approaches for use at home. His affection for it, and learning, has grown a great deal this year. He has said to us more than once these past few weeks that he'll be sad when school is over. When we ask him why he lists a variety of reasons, but one of them is almost always because he will miss Ms. Rosenberg."
