Our Customers Say...

“Lisa Gay is a wonderful presenter! The 'Honey Is Your Homework Done Yet?’ workshop provided our parents with many useful tools on how to get children organized for homework. In fact, our parents at Bunker Hill would like me to inquire about the other workshops Lisa offers. We will definitely be bringing this workshop back to Bunker Hill next year." - MaryAnn Petrillo, Parent Liaison, Bunker Hill Elementary School, Waterbury CT

"I attended one of your
workshops, and it was fantastic. Your presentation was easy to understand and follow. I learned a number of tips from it, and have used it successfully with my son. I really liked the concept of the homework caddy, and the types of supplies it should be stocked with. I was pleased to hear that you have started this website, and I shall certainly use it as one of my educational resources. I will also share it with my friends. Thank you!” - P. Palmer, Middle School Parent

"Lisa Gay has done an outstanding job during two homework workshops that she delivered to our fifth graders over the last two school years...I am beginning my 35th year as an educator, yet I found her presentations to be very enlightening because it encapsulated many good suggestions and strategies..For me, the most memorable part of her workshop was the concept she calls 5 Minute Fridays...I categorically recommend Lisa Gay's strategies and workshops for any school." - Ralph Riola, Principal

All of your ideas are helpful and will definitely benefit kids of all ages.”   - Katie Heffernan, 5^th Grade Teacher
