Ms. Michelle was my twins very first teacher. We truly love her and feel so blessed that she was such an integral part of our kids earliest education. She set them up with the best foundation possible for their future and I can not recommend her enough. She is supportive, kind, and sincerely cares about her students. She’s simply the best!

​Our family is incredibly grateful for Michelle! She has been an integral part of our children's learning journey. Michelle has a natural ability to connect with kids, making learning both fun and engaging. Since working with her, our kids have gained confidence and now approach their assignments with improved focus and a positive attitude. The support she provides to them is truly remarkable. She goes above and beyond and genuinely cares so much for them (as a parent this is huge!!).

Ms. Michelle has worked with three of my children over the past year. During this time I have not only seen a large academic leap, but my kids have developed a true love for learning. Ms. Michelle’s attention to detail and true desire to foster growth in children is astounding. We love her!!! Thanks, Michelle for having a hand in shaping my children's future, I am appreciative of you teaching them the ABC’s and 123’s and everything but it's really the compassion and grace that has had me coming back to you, that is not something you can learn from a book. They learned that by it being modeled. So thankful for your impact on our family.  I see little bits of Miss Michelle in my kids every day.

We celebrated Kamden & Joshua's 1st grade graduation yesterday. While this last year had so much uncertainty, we had the pleasure of having Ms Michelle Lazuka educate Kamden through his 1st grade year.   What started as tutoring last summer, evolved in to an amazing experience with a full curriculum encompassing all of the required studies. These boys built their confidence while achieving great success. They not only excelled in reading and writing together they went on journeys through Egypt, built a home and harvested praying mantises, learned about agriculture in the yard and journaled each step. Watching Kamden and Joshua develop academically under her tutelage was beyond what any of us expected.  I would love to share more pictures and stories if anyone would like to hear about it. Please reach out. We feel so blessed to have had Ms. Michelle Lazuka in our lives. Her experience, coupled with her masters in education/teaching as well as her studies in psychology, truly set her apart from anything we have seen. I am not exaggerating when I say Kamden ran INTO school every day, extremely excited. She will forever be in our Ohana.

I can't recommend Maui Tutoring enough. Michelle has an incredible gift for teaching children in a manner that makes the student feel excited yet challenged allowing them to flourish. My daughters look forward to their weekly sessions with Michelle and I've seen them develop an even greater love of learning while exceeding my expectations overall. Any child that gets to work with Michelle will most certainly benefit exponentially.

Michelle is amazing! I was lucky enough to teach with her for a few years. She is constantly coming up with new activities for her kiddos and follows the need of each child. She is passionate about teaching and is the best advocate for your child. She is simply the best!

I am so grateful my daughter is getting back into a routine. The first thing she asks in the mornings - Do I get to go to Ms. Michelle's school today? Michelle makes learning fun and exciting. Thank you, for creating such a welcoming and nurturing environment.

Last year we were very concerned that our son would fall behind academically, not yet being able to read and starting first grade at public school where only distance learning was available.   We were so happy and relieved when Ms. Michelle offered to be our son's First Grade teacher.  Ms. Michelle set up an ideal environment for learning, meeting four days a week with our son and his good friend.  Our son was always excited to attend Ms. Michelle's school and the progress he has made has been truly remarkable.  Thanks to Ms. Michelle, his reading and writing skills are now way beyond our expectations and, in fact, after just graduating First Grade with Ms. Michelle this year, his assessment testing scores qualified him to attend Third Grade starting next month.  We are so grateful to Ms. Michelle for setting our son up for lifelong learning success.

My son Alec has been going to Miss Michelle for a year now. He has learned so much from her. She preps him up for kindergarten and he is ready to go in August. We can't thank her enough for the time she puts into his education. Looking forward to sending my youngest son to her when the time comes. We appreciate you so much, Miss Michelle! Much aloha and mahalo!
