Testimonial 

I loved the opportunity to learn from Lisa. She is extremely clear, concise and personable. She delivers a tremendous amount of material in an easy to understand, logical and retainable way. On top of that she provides an amazing lunch and is willing to chat with us while she tried to eat! I have all of her books and refer my students to them whenever a question comes up. They love her videos and I hope to continue to add more layers into our curriculum as the new school year begins. I am trying my best to encourage other teachers to follow Lisa and learn from her approach.
