tutoring
Personalized one-on-one tutoring, small group tutoring, and test prep to fit your family’s needs.
Coaching
Is your child an anxious learner? I offer targeted coaching for students struggling with the learning process.
Courses
Courses that ignite creativity, empowering students to find their voice, and wield it powerfully.
With over two decades of teaching experience, I help students get in touch with how they learn best. Our services are tailored to each individual because the process of learning can reveal specific barriers to and opportunities for learning and growing. I use mindfulness as a tool: I actively listen to students and guide them towards their own self-acceptance and success. I see the parents of students as partners, so I create a flexible environment and encourage regular feedback. With The Mindful Tutor, we are cultivating and nurturing the most valuable tool students have: their mind.
Lisa Franz, The Mindful Tutor
Even to this day, we check in and share with her what new information he has on his learning profile and always trust her thoughts on how to proceed. When you have a child with learning differences, you can often feel overwhelmed and alone. Lisa has always been a person that we can go to when we feel stuck or that we've hit a wall in seeking out the right services for him. Her care and attention extends beyond the "paid tutoring time" and really seeks to simply help our child learn and grow.

The process Lisa used led to reduced frustration and tension between us and our daughter. Thanks to Lisa, the college application process four years from now will be much more familiar and less daunting!
