Hi-
I love working with people one-on-one. I have an arts background and have been in the high school and college classroom for nearly 10 years. I have been formally trained in SAT (2018), ACT, GED/TASC tutoring. My SAT prep students have generally increased their scores 200-300 points from before working with me to test day.

As an artist and media professional, I am fluent in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, and other softwares. I work with students from community colleges ...

Larissa is very patient and an astute teacher-- she knows how to offer information clearly and when to encourage me to work or try tasks on my own. She is personable and a joy with whom to work.

I needed to create a photography portfolio to submit as part of an employment application. For several years photography has been more of a personal hobby for me. The need to raise the quality of my photos led me to "discover" Wyzant while surfing the internet. Before my first meeting with Larissa I had chosen some images to share. Larissa picked a few of these that would look better, then asked to see more of my photo collection -- she picked a few others and got me to see issues with contrast, focus and distractions. She showed me how to use the healing brush and how to adjust layers to fix some of these problems. I learned so much; I wound up using her services on four separate days. I learned about brush sizes to mask and edit, how to adjust color, texture and image size. She showed me how to create a PDF of my portfolio, and a slide presentation. I learned to use Lightroom to import and edit images and create a gallery with keywords to help me manage and later search for items. Larissa has an easy way of explaining new information and got me to practice, on my own, several features new to me. Of course she guided my way. I liked her courteous and reassuring style -- it made me feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend her.

Larissa helped me get started on Lightroom Classic. I had been having trouble getting started but Larissa helped me navigate the platform and set me up with some practice homework to reinforce what I learnt. Looking forward to our next meeting.

Larissa was very patient and explains things in very easy to follow way. I learned more from her in an hour than I did at school in a month. She also worked with my schedule and will definitely be seeking her help in the future.

Larissa was on-time for my daughters first SAT tutoring session. She has a wonderful personality. My daughter really enjoyed her first session for Larissa. She loves her teaching technique and style. We plan to schedule additional tutoring sessions. I will update my feedback as we complete more tutoring session.

Larissa was an extremely patient, thoughtful and thorough tutor. My son had some processing issues and she found ways to help him learn in his own way. She was always on time and very flexible.
