I signed up my son (6yr old) for the summer program, and he absolutely loved it. Since he is homeschooled I was looking for a program that would not only keep him busy during summer break but a place he could learn and have fun as well. ElevateU was the package! Ms. Laura is awesome, she made learning fun. The classroom is super cute, spacious and a safe environment. Highly recommend ElevateU!!!

We cannot thank Miss Lauren enough for helping us with our children during the time they had to be on distant learning. My son was in 3rd grade and for the first time he was starting to fall behind. It was a very difficult time for him and he was becoming very discouraged with school. Thankfully we were lucky enough to be able to ask Miss Lauren for help. After a few sessions with Lauren his whole attitude changed. I could see that spark for learning again, he enjoyed having a teacher who actually took the time to listen to him and that truly cared to help him improve in the areas he was really struggling with. She has so much patience with children. My daughter who was about to start kindergarten also joined to get tutored by her. We were so impressed that Lauren had organized folders for both kids that targeted their specific age & grade level. Her background in education was the best fit for what we were looking for, she wasn’t just helping them with homework questions she took the time to evaluate their needs. She actually provided a lot guidance for us as parents as well; having to navigate through all the craziness it was nice to have an educator on our side. Thank you Miss Lauren!!

Lauren was excellent on explaining our family options on home school. She was well prepared for any questions we had and has good networking information for connecting with other home schooling parents. Thank you Lauren.
