Laurie has been tutoring my son for the last two months to improve his writing such as book response and book report, research paper, and writing projects in school. My son is a fifth grader. He is a great reader, but only interested in reading humorous books. He found it very difficult to get started in any writing and can not give enough details and make the paragraph flow. Therefore, his writing is very short, about 6 sentences.

Susan has tutored my sons (ages 14 and 11) in writing once a week for three weeks now. She has a clear, methodical approach to teaching writing. They are focusing on persuasive writing. It's obvious that she's put a lot of thought into how to convey the building blocks of good writing. In addition to having them write and edit their own essays, she has them read and analyze good sample essays written by children their age.
