    What Parents Say
    • "Ms. Lola has been an absolute blessing for our daughter. Not only has she helped her catch up in math, but she’s also given her so much confidence. We were worried about dyslexia holding her back, but Ms. Lola's approach is so thoughtful and effective—it’s like she was made for our family."
      — Parent of a 4th grader
    • "After just a few sessions, my son started looking forward to tutoring. Ms. Lola makes learning fun and personal, and she truly sees each child for who they are. She’s not just a tutor—she’s a partner in our child’s education."
      — Parent of a 5th-grade student
    • "We’ve worked with many tutors, but none have had the patience, creativity, and heart that Ms. Lola brings. She breaks down tough concepts, builds real trust with her students, and always keeps us in the loop. My only regret is not finding her sooner!"
      — Parent of a 6th grader
    • "Our son is twice-exceptional (gifted with ADHD), and finding someone who could challenge and support him was hard—until we met Ms. Lola. She adapts every session, uses tools he loves, and has helped him thrive both academically and emotionally."
      — Parent of a 3rd grader
    • "Thanks to Ms. Lola, our daughter not only passed the CogAT with flying colors, but she also gained skills that will serve her for life. Ms. Lola's dedication goes beyond test prep—she truly invests in her students’ success."
