Meet The Team
Elizabeth Rowley
Elementary Education, Tutor,
Owner of The Art of Learning
For the past sixteen years, Elizabeth Rowley has been helping kids find a way to love learning.
She was a passionate Elementary School teacher with a multi-sensory approach to curriculum, she has taught third and fourth graders Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies. Her enthusiasm for teaching with both Art Integration and traditional methodology has contributed to her students’ academic successes.
Elizabeth spent most of her childhood in upstate New York. After graduating from high school in 2001, she decided to venture across the country to Phoenix to attend Arizona State University. While reflecting on what career path to take, she decided to become a teacher. In 2005, she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. After teaching for nine years, Elizabeth decided to leave the classroom and open up a tutoring business where she could help children one on one.
Elizabeth loves traveling and being outdoors. In the winter she likes to snowboard and in the summer she loves to surf and be on the water. Being active and in nature is a passion of hers. She currently lives in Scottsdale with her partner Yoshi.

Courtney's love for teaching is shown through her interactions with each student, while building strong relationships and making her lessons fun and engaging.
"Being a teacher is the most gratifying and incredible job to have. Love who you are, love what you do, because what you do, reflects who you are!"
