Elle already came highly recommended from both friends and school counselors so we engaged her to help our freshman daughter overcome her test taking anxiety. Despite getting A’s in all assignments, she could occasionally freeze in testing environments and received scores which did not reflect her true aptitude & comprehension of the subject matter.

Elle was able to develop her executive function skills in regards to time management, self-advocacy, goal and project planning, test-taking technique, and problem-solving. She also developed a personalized plan for tackling studying for finals to lessen the load & pressure of the onset of finals. Elle was great at teaching her how to study “smart” vs. “long”. We saw immediate improvement and more importantly, our daughter now has a study structure that will help her succeed throughout her academic career.

As the year progressed, Elle was also extremely helpful in providing ongoing academic support, especially as our daughter began to struggle with Honors English and the heavy essay requirements. Elle dedicated her efforts to guiding and supporting our daughter with structuring essays and building brainstorming, critical thinking, and fluency. She created outlines to guide her and became more comfortable using the text to develop essays.

While we believe the academic support from Elle has been key, we’re also really impressed with improved self-confidence she has been able to elicit from our daughter. Elle has a great way of encouraging her best work AND reducing the intense pressure she previously put on herself to succeed.

We cannot recommend her highly enough.
