"Leslie is amazing. She makes tutoring fun for the kiddo while also making sure he's learning a lot as well. She really works to develop a rapport with her students and I think that is key to why she is so effective."

"If you are searching for an exceptional educator who truly cares for your child, look no further—Leslie is the choice you will always celebrate.

My six-year-old daughter has a twice-exceptional profile (high IQ and moderate ADHD) along with a dysgraphia diagnosis. She was struggling academically with the general kindergarten curriculum, performing below grade level. In less than two months, Leslie’s specialized expertise, tailored approach, and engaging teaching style completely transformed her trajectory. Thanks to Leslie building a rock-solid foundation of phonological and phoneme awareness, my daughter is now reading grade-level books independently and writing complete sentences with correct spelling!

What truly sets Leslie apart is her incredible patience and radiant positivity. My daughter genuinely looks forward to every single tutoring session. Leslie has created a safe, joyful space where mistakes are celebrated as wonderful opportunities to learn and grow. Leslie is so much more than a tutor; she is a brilliant cheerleader for her students and an invaluable partner to parents as we navigate these learning journeys together." 

"Leslie is incredible and an absolutely brilliant tutor. She’s the GOAT. As a former student of hers working with her for 6.5 years, she was a world class tutor, she helped me address my issues in a big way. Some of the things she taught me stuck with me forever. So if any student in the KingCo league is struggling, don’t be afraid to contact Leslie, she’ll get you going and you’ll have an amazing experience!!"

"Leslie has been amazing with my son. He’s made so much progress with her help. She definitely finds great ways to keep him engaged!"

"Leslie is absolute magic. Not only is she an amazing person, she’s an extraordinary tutor. The way she connects with my neurodivergent child leaves me in awe every time. Beyond the incredible academic progress my child has made this year, she’s teaching something even more valuable—how to work through frustration, how to try and make mistakes, and how to believe they can do hard things.

For a nervous system that can make learning feel overwhelming, her steady presence and attuned support have been transformative. Watching my child grow not just in skills, but in confidence and self‑trust, is beautiful.

There is no better feeling than knowing your child is learning from someone who truly sees them, understands them, and cares about them as a whole person."

"Leslie has been such a wonderful tutor for my 2e daughter. Reading has become easier and more enjoyable for her. She always looks forward to her sessions with Leslie. Leslie has also given me ideas to help support reading progress at home. When we started out, she was really struggling to read short stories and now she is reading chapter books!"

"Leslie has been such an asset to us. She has a way of getting our child to listen and understand and try new things. We have seen such progress in our child this last year - taking responsibility, follow through, completing tasks. Thank you, Leslie!"

"I wish this review could surpass five stars, because five isn't nearly enough to sum up how much Leslie and her work mean to me and have helped me throughout the majority of the time I have been alive. As an 11th grader now, I have been working with her since grade 2, and there are countless reasons for that. She is incredibly patient. No matter how distracted or difficult I can get, she is always so patient and gets me back to focusing to the best of my ability, and has been doing this with me for the nine years I have been working with her. She is also incredibly knowledgeable about all the content she works with me on and more. Always helping me craft my writing to its maximum profundity, she offers an educator's excellence like no other. She has been one of the most immense roles in my development from a shy, timid writer into one of robust confidence! Not to mention, she offers an incredible mathematical option as well!"

"Leslie is an amazing, patient tutor who worked with my anxious daughter to help double her SSAT score from her initial practice. My kiddo ended up getting into all the schools she applied to! More importantly, however, Leslie gave her the support and confidence to face the exam without the crippling fear she had initially. Leslie was like a cheerleader with a ring of flashcards, able to explain things in novel ways and help motivate my kiddo to keep at her studies without it just being mom nagging. I cannot praise her enough for how much of an impact she made."

"Leslie is great! Her personalized approach has made a huge difference in my child’s organization, time management, problem solving skills, and (most importantly) her confidence. Leslie identifies challenges and creates strategies that are both practical and easy to implement. In addition, Leslie’s guidance has given me the breathing room to step back without worrying about her school work. Highly recommend! Every kid could use a Leslie."

"Leslie is an amazing tutor. I hired her to help my 6th grade twins in math. She's been able to help them with math plus all their other subjects. Both are extremely reluctant students who have good grades thanks to Leslie. She is open, supportive and works so well with kids. She is amazing with neurodivergence and learning disabilities and makes it pretty fun for the kids, too."

"Leslie is wonderful! She is patient and kind with my ND kid, and always engages him in the best ways!"

"My daughter loved having Ms. Leslie as her personal tutor. She wasn’t just a teacher but a mentor who truly cared about her progress and well-being. Her one-on-one approach made every session feel tailored to my daughter’s needs, and she always looked forward to working with her. Ms. Leslie’s creative and compassionate teaching style helped my daughter gain confidence, especially in areas where she had previously struggled. What really stood out was how Ms. Leslie would think outside the box to make learning fun and engaging. My daughter never felt rushed or judged—Ms. Leslie’s genuine care and dedication made all the difference in her learning journey, and we will definitely go back for help when needed."

"Leslie is an amazing tutor! She is very knowledgeable about best practice in reading instruction and has helped our child achieve steady growth. Leslie is wonderful with neurodiverse students and a great resource for parents too. Highly recommend!"

"We’ve had an amazing experience with Leslie! She is organized, fun, and incredibly supportive. Her engaging approach has made a world of difference for my kid, who struggled with writer’s block and the fear of making mistakes. She skillfully helped him gather and organize the countless ideas swirling in his mind and transform them into confident, structured writing. It’s clear she truly understands and appreciates the unique needs of each child. Beyond her expertise, she is wonderfully sweet and encouraging. We are so grateful for her dedication and the positive impact she’s had!"

"Leslie has worked with our two sons and despite challenges such as: learning loss due to the pandemic, electronic distractions and other modern day obstacles, she has helped instill in them a sense of responsibility and enjoyment in their learning. Leslie is talented in her profession and feel fortunate to be working with her."
