Lauren also made suggestions to increase my daughter's math skills. I will be consulting Lauren again, but if I had only this one tutoring it would be well worth the cost. I have ADD and medical challenges which Lauren will be helping me consider as we go forward with Katie's progress. Lauren was patient and helpful. Kind. Creative. And came up with ideas which motivated me in areas where I had formerly felt stuck. Thanks to Lauren for good suggestions re IEP's!
