  • I am a dynamic, recent Harvard PhD graduate seeking to enrich the lives of others through increasing knowledge, growth, and confidence.

About Me

I currently reside in Austin, TX, but I am originally from New York City. I attended a private New England boarding school called the Hotchkiss school for high school. I received my BA in International Studies from Brown University. I have been tutoring since I was a sophomore at Brown University. I tutored elementary school students in math and Spanish. Later on, I tutored high school students in Pre-Calculus, Spanish, English, and essay writing. More recently, I have been tutoring young entrepreneurs in Portuguese. Currently, I tutor all levels of Spanish, English grammar and writing, and Reading. I love to travel and meet new people and share wonderful new experiences. I am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese and was fortunate enough to have been able to live in both countries. My teaching style is to ensure that students gain confidence in their own ability to learn. Each student is unique and should be evaluated and assisted on that basis. When I am not tutoring I love to cook, visit local parks and lakes, attend outdoor music concerts, and read. I look forward to working with new students and helping to enrich their educational experience.

Q&A with Lisanne

I seek to create a safe and enriching environment in which learning is seen as a contractual endeavor. I like my students to know that no question is stupid, nor any idea dumb. It is my sincere hope to be able to assist my students in not only understanding subject areas where they are struggling, but to also understand how learning skills can be applied in other areas of life. In a learning environment, everyone is capable of learning from each other.
