“Liz White has been an instrumental part of our daughter's learning over the past year in preparation for her kindergarten experience. While our daughter is energetic and well-spoken, she didn't have much interest in learning basic skills like writing her own name, identifying the sounds that letters make, and counting beyond 10 in spite of our encouragement at home to grow these skills. That all changed when Liz took her under her wing. In just a few short months after Liz began working with her, our daughter is now reading CVC books on her own and is proud of her new found abilities and is eager to perfect her skills. Our daughter is able to count to 100 and even able to add and subtract small sums. She loves to write her own birthday cards to friends and family and is adept at sounding out words on her own. Her eagerness and confidence are all results from the personalized direction that Liz has provided and we could not be more thankful for her help in preparing our daughter for the coming school year.”

We had an amazing experience with Liz from Primary Prep. Our twin sons were pretty behind on their alphabet/phonics after completing preschool. We wanted to do as much as possible to get them ready for kindergarten and Liz was the answer. In just a couple months over the summer, Liz worked with them and our boys made huge improvements. Today they entered kindergarten happy and confident. Thanks Liz!!

Liz has been absolutely amazing at helping my 4 year old son progress in his kindergarten readiness. We initially began working with her so my son would feel prepared for private school kindergarten assessments. But he is learning so much we have continued and hope to continue to work with Liz as he transitions from TK to SK next year. Liz does a great job of making learning fun with games while they work on phonics and math. My son gets so excited for their session each week! We have seen his skills improve significantly. He also was accepted at our choice private school which I assume means he did well on the assessment! Most importantly, Liz has helped us instill a positive view of learning for him which is really wonderful!

Ms Liz is an amazing and patient tutor. My daughter has a slight developmental delay and we were worried about her entering Kindergarten this fall. After 4 months of tutoring twice a week at our house with Ms Liz and Ms Leslie, it’s made such an impact in her learning and retaining information. She’s come such a long way- she can count correctly and higher than she did before, knows her letters, upper and lower, plus their sounds, and enjoys the lessons so much. I highly recommend Primary Prep to any parent wanting to help prepare their child for Kindergarten.

“Having just had my pre-k son taught by Liz, I can vouch for how amazing she is at helping kids blossom. Any child would benefit from her kindergarten readiness support!”

“We used Primary Prep to assess our daughter and make sure she was ready to start Kindergarten this year. She has a late birthday so we were unsure if we should hold her back and wait another year. Liz White did a wonderful job assessing her and giving us a detailed report on her kindergarten readiness skills. Not only did she provide a thorough report for us, but she was also wonderful with our daughter. Liz is personable, patient, and easily connects with children. We highly recommend her to anyone in the local San Diego area!” -Elya M.
“Mrs. White was my son’s junior kindergarten teacher at Francis Parker Lower School this past year. She did a fantastic job with my son. The academic aspect of Mrs. White’s teaching skills is excellent, and so is her caring, compassionate, and patient nature. As a result, my son misses her dearly.”

“We can not speak more highly about Primary Prep’s program. We enrolled our newly 4 year old into Liz’s program 8 weeks prior to our daughter beginning preschool. She learned an incredible amount, her confidence grew all around and she even learned how to spell and write her name! To see her transform and grow in a small amount of time blew us away! This program allowed our daughter to begin her second year of preschool with so much confidence and support to start her year. This one on one program was especially invaluable after the last year we had with covid. We are so grateful Liz’s program was available to us!”
