STUDENT TESTIMONIALS:
"Elizabeth has changed my perspective on writing and has taught me key skills that make my writing more seamless. These are skills that I will use in college and for the rest of my life. I would always be very stressed when I had some sort of writing assignment due but now with Elizabeth's help I feel calm, collected, organized, and prepared to tackle any writing assignment."

“Matt is an excellent SAT/ACT tutor. He teaches me strategies that I otherwise wouldn’t have even thought of. Sessions are always upbeat. He even teaches me the material, mainly regarding math, that I have not learned yet in school.”

She is very easy to talk to. The support Maya gave me was unlike anything I've ever experienced from anyone. Her desire and passion for helping people had a significant impact on my life."

PARENT TESTIMONIALS CONTINUED…
“Maya was an incredible ACT tutor for our daughter. She was not only knowledgeable and well-prepared but also incredibly patient and understanding. From the start, she took the time to truly get to know our daughter—her strengths, challenges, and learning style—so she could tailor her approach to meet her needs. On her most recent mock test, our daughter scored a 35 on English, a 34 on reading, and 33 on science!
Beyond just teaching, Maya was a constant source of support and encouragement. She helped build our daughter’s confidence, turning a stressful test prep process into one she could tackle with assurance. She was a cheerleader, a teacher, and a consummate professional, guiding her every step of the way. We are so grateful for Maya’s dedication and highly recommend UpLevel to anyone looking for expert, compassionate ACT tutoring!”

"Maya has been working with our son for the duration of the past academic year. As a parent, I deeply appreciate her strength-based approach – always leading with the skills that my son already possesses and helping him to use these strengths to become the most successful student he can be. She really sees my son and truly understands him as a child and a learner. As a result, she tailors the way she teaches him to fit the specific way in which he learns best. Executive functioning is an area my son is working to develop, and Maya is extremely helpful in guiding him through this process. Maya is patient and extremely skilled – offering strategies and suggestions to help my son feel successful inside and outside of the classroom. Maya is extremely easy to communicate with. She is clear in her suggestions (which are practical and easy to implement) and kind in her demeanor – a recipe for incredible partnership. Lastly, and most importantly, my son adores her! We have seen such growth in his social-emotional and academic development over a short amount of time. We look forward to our work together in the future!"
— Parent, Allen-Stevenson School
“We have been so fortunate to work with Maya and Matthew. They have been so supportive, responsive, knowledgeable and truly have my daughter’s best interest in mind when planning their sessions. We have seen tremendous improvement in my daughter's test taking and her confidence. Her practice ACT test scores have already jumped from 19 to 27 and she is not finished yet! She is learning vital skills that she will continue to use throughout college and beyond.”
— Parent, West End Secondary School
"I cannot imagine a better math tutor than Maya – we consider ourselves extremely fortunate to be working with her. Maya took the time to understand my son’s weaknesses and created a plan for improvement. He has been able to master areas of difficulty and expand upon fields of strength. In each and every session our son is navigating new and more complex assignments. In addition to gaining confidence in a subject that previously caused him so much angst, his grades have dramatically improved. Her approach is a delicate balance of support and affirmation all the while challenging him to confront new and more difficult assignments. Additionally, our son benefits from the executive functioning work they finish with each session. Each and every week, shortly after their session concludes, Maya sends me a detailed summary of the work they accomplished, an honest assessment of our son’s grasp on the material, and a preview of what they will be tackling next. I cannot thank her enough. She has profoundly changed our son’s relationship with academics."
