After college she spent five years at a fortune 500 company specializing in employee training and development. She has extensive experience in learn- ing principles, learning styles, effective teaching techniques and classroom management. While she loved her cor- porate career, Liz felt her educational expertise could be better served in the community and opened Above Grade Level. You will find Liz to be an effective listener and an involved manager who is invested personally in the success of each child. Liz lives in the Fredericksburg VA area, is married and has a baby girl. Liz is passionate about strengthening children and young people during their impressionable moments. It is common for children to experience learn- ing diffi culties at various times during their school years. We fi nd that some educational concerns, when left unattended, can derail their confi dence resulting in a lack of interest in learning, and making progress diffi cult in other subjects. We know a child's academic performance can be infl uenced by a number of things. Maybe their relationships in the classroom aren't optimal, key pieces of learn- ing have been missed, or there is a specifi c subject that challenges their learning style. When this happens frustrations can build at school and at home. We're passionate about helping children through tutoring at impressionable moments to ensure that they move forward with a love of learning and the ability to achieve their full potential.
