As Center Director, Lisa leads many responsibilities for Sylvan of Port Washington. A former speech language pathologist, Lisa chose a career in the tutoring business because she loves working with children.

Hi, I’m Wing and I’m the Owner/Operator and I also teach math and STEM classes here at Sylvan of Port Washington. Lisa and I opened the center in November and we couldn’t be happier. I help with a lot of the behind the scenes work to keep the center ahead of the curve and help our students succeed. I received a Bachelor of Science from Binghamton University and a Masters of Business Administration from Fordham University. I also hold the Series 6, 7 and 63 licenses. When I’m not at the center, you can usually find me spending time with my son, playing baseball.
