Experienced tutor in English in Santa Monica, Lisa offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I've worked with Inner Genius Prep from 8th grade till I graduated high school. I was admitted to Bard College early action but was accepted to NYU Gallatin, where I am currently attending. I was also tutored by IGP for the ACT, on which my score rose six points and my final score was a 30. My tutors have always been incredibly caring and motivational and have helped me succeed academically despite my learning disabilities, including ADHD. Lisa, the owner of the company, has helped me work through my test and writing anxiety and has always been a supportive influence who has been there for both my older sister and me, far beyond any other tutor I've ever worked with (and I've worked with a lot of tutors)! I'm very grateful for all the help IGP has has given me and highly recommend them to anyone needing test prep, college essay support, writing coaching or help with test anxiety. I've referred a ton of my friends to them and everyone is very happy with their services, including my best friend who was admitted to Northwestern early decision.

Lisa is the best. She is so supportive, determined, and focused with her students. Lisa made is possible for me to get into my top 5 schools and got in EA to my top choice. She is an amazing tutor and writer and knows how to help her students become better writers and write from the heart. Additionally to college counseling, Lisa helped me with my English essays. She helped me get great grades in English. I enjoyed every moment I spent tutoring with Lisa because she is so kind, patient, and smart.

Lisa came into my life about two months before applications needed to be submitted and she was absolutely amazing. While I had the topic for my essays I was struggling to put the depth of my feelings into words that would effectively communicate my experiences. Lisa was a miracle worker. Step by step we methodically worked on the essays and not only did they sound incredible but she improved my writing skills. I completed our time together as a more competent and confident writer. I highly recommend Inner Genius Prep to anyone who wants to make the college process easier and more successful! I got in early to my first choice college!
