Experienced Tutor
Jensen, 70 lessons with LaurieWhat I appreciated viewing Laurie's profile was her extensive teaching history. She starts showing you that experience from the first moment that you initiate contact with her. Laurie did an excellent job of asking the right questions before our first tutoring lesson. This prepared her with information that she was able to use to engage with our daughter. Laurie arrived with extra materials to start her lesson with my daughter. First was an assessment of her reading and writing skills....

Best thing that has happened to us since e pandemic
My daughter has been doing distance learning since last March. She was always behind in math even before the pandemic and we felt completely lost. We found Laurie and all of a sudden our daughter not only started to understand her math but actually started to enjoy doing it. We are so grateful to Laurie and feel very lucky to have found her.

Excellent tutor for our 6 year old
We just had our first lessons with Laurie and our son really loved her. She made the lesson fun, engaging and very educational. Our son is going into first grade and is yet to crack the code on reading. Laurie quickly evaluated him and within minutes had him working on phonetics and reading three letter words. Can't wait for more.

Amazing tutor to improve english writing skills
Laurie has been amazing tutor with result that showed up very quickly. After I detected "writer block" in my daughter online school, I wanted a tutor to help overcome that. In online school, my daughter was not turning in her homework for social science or english. She didn't know what to write even if she knew the answer !! I was amazed how Laurie could detect what was needed for my daughter, and how Laurie could communicate effectively with my daughter. She gained trust by finding the strength, and worked on her weakness. I am now amazed how my 4th grader can write a paragraph and work on it to improve it. What use to take days of struggle can now be done in less than an hour ...

Math help
We connected with Laurie to help our granddaughter with some basic arithmetic. She just finished fifth grade and is really struggling with fundamentals. While we’ve only had two sessions we can see a change already and our granddaughter seems to be improving. We are confident this effort and Laurie’s help will make her sixth grade much more pleasant.
