"We are so thankful for the positive impact our daughter's math tutor has had on her learning experience. It was clear from the initial session that Dave not only has a deep understanding of math, but also a genuine gift for teaching. Before tutoring, our daughter would get frustrated and discouraged, but we have seen an improvement in her math skills, and more importantly, a change in her overall attitude toward learning. We would highly recommend Dave Halikis to any family looking for a knowledgeable, passionate, and successful math tutor. The effect he has had on our daughter's learning has been truly profound."

"Elizabeth has been amazing for our daughter Gia! Not only did she help Gia thrive academically, but somehow, we ended up bonding over horses—and now we ride together too! She has the most patience with kids, plus a great sense of humor and a big heart. She's made such a positive impact on our whole family. We’re so lucky to have her in our lives!"

"Working with Dave has changed the way I approach math entirely. I started tutoring with him my sophomore year, when I would often give up on trying to solve and work through problems. Dave breaks things down in a clear and patient manner, always adjusting to the learning style that works best for me. He is very generous with his time and will normally fit in a last-minute session if I’m really struggling or have a test coming up. Thanks to his support, my confidence in math has grown, and he has helped me to approach challenges differently. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor who is good at what he does and wants to see you succeed. "

"When I first met Elizabeth I was nervous, I had never had a tutor before. After 30 minutes in our very first session, I felt so comfortable and opened up. Elizabeth is actually the best! I feel so grateful to have her in my life, she makes school way more fun, and we share our love for horses together. We’ve gone on so many camping trips with our families and horses, and when she comes over to tutor me, I look forward to it. I’ve met so many people here in La Cresta over the past 11 years living here, but Elizabeth stands out for multiple reasons and someone I would instantly notice if she left. Such an understanding, caring, and thoughtful person is exactly what so many people need, and now you have the chance to meet her! The biggest trait that stands out to me is how easy going and flexible she is. If I need a change of scenery, we’ll tutor outside with the horses, by the living room fire, in my room, and so many other places. Elizabeth is so amazing with kindly getting people back on track to finish working, but making it fun at the same time. I love her so much and so will you!!!

 I promise you, you will not regret hiring Elizabeth, she’ll change your life for the better…"
