What people are saying:

“We are so grateful for Dr Robb! Our daughter has an IEP and we reached out to Dr. Robb for extra help with reading during first grade.  Once she started the Orton-Gillingham method with Dr Robb, we saw amazing improvements to her reading levels and overall attitude towards reading.  What impresses me more is that our daughter truly loves her lessons with Dr Robb, because she has a way of connecting with my daughter and really understands how to encourage the focus my daughter needs during her lessons. A little over a year later and our daughter is reading with fluency at 2nd grade level. We are so thankful for Dr Robb!

“Amazing! Dr.Robb is a true professional and is extremely knowledgable on all English and HS/College prep subject matter. Our three sons have worked with her over the years starting in 2010 when my oldest was preparing for the Catholic High School Entrance Exam on Long Island. Dr. Robb has been a gift to our family; she is extremely organized and thorough - her friendly and engaging personality brought out the best in each of our kids - she has a knack to bring out their creative side when it came to high school and college essays. Learning is fun with Dr. Robb - giving kids the tools and confidence to succeed. Dr. Robb is easily accessible and always willing to help. We highly recommend Dr. Robb, and are very grateful for all the knowledge that she has shared with our boys.”

“I really enjoy working with Dr. Robb; she makes learning fun and has little tricks to help you with vocabulary and grammar subject matter. She was really helpful to me when I was preparing for the Catholic High School Entrance Exam (CHSEE). I learned more about grammar with her in that time than I ever did in all of middle school. We have worked together since I was young on my reading comprehension, and I am really thankful to have Dr. Robb as a great resource, I know I can reach out to her on any topic, whether its a book, essay or grammar question - she always knows the answer!”

“I am so very fortunate to have found Dr. Elizabeth Robb. She is an absolutely wonderful tutor! I have known Dr. Robb for over 5 years. In those 5 years, she has worked with both my children, in helping them prepare for the ELA section of the Catholic High School Entrance Exam. Both did extremely well on the exam and are excelling in English in high school and beyond, thanks to the foundation that they learned with Dr. Robb. My son is now a first year student at the University of Notre Dame and my daughter is a first year student at Our Lady of Mercy Academy High School. Dr. Robb has also assisted my son with preparation for the SAT/ACT exams and worked with him in the college application essay process, as well.  Dr. Robb is extremely patient and supportive and knows how to motivate her students so that they strive to do their best. Both my children always looked forward to their weekly sessions with Dr. Robb. She is truly an expert in her field of Academic Literacy and I highly recommend Dr. Robb as a tutor!'‘

“We hired Dr. Robb because we wanted to improve our 13 year old son’s chances to be admitted into a private high school. My wife and I contacted Dr. Robb in January of 2020 and we spoke to her about her program. After speaking, we decided to move forward and engage Dr Robb to help our son.

Our son was a good B+ student but his grades would sometimes vary due to study habits. Dr. Robb started working with Peter in January, and she met with him in person on a weekly basis. After several weeks, the Covid pandemic interrupted these meetings. Dr. Robb then pivoted to teaching via zoom and continued with the program.

Our son very much enjoyed working with Dr Robb, and he enjoyed the challenges she presented to him. She is a very methodical and patient teacher who gets results. She was also a constant in a teaching world that has gone virtual. Her one-one-one sessions with him helped build his confidence as well as his study habits.

I am very pleased to report our son not only passed the Catholic High School Entrance Exam, but did so with a grade in the top one percentile. I would definitively recommend Dr. Robb to any parents who want to have their child improve their study habits and get a passing grade on the Catholic High School Entrance Exam!

Subsequently, we have asked Dr. Robb to continue working with our son to continue to help him improve and maintain his study habits and his confidence.”
