Hi, I'm Laurel! I completed my BA at Occidental College and my MA at Northern Arizona University, where my love of language and communication really took shape. Over the years I've taken that passion and translated it into tutoring, working one on one with students in ESL, Spanish, and English across a wide range of ages and skill levels, from middle schoolers to adults returning to education after time away.

Hi, I'm Laurel! I completed my BA at Occidental College and my MA at Northern Arizona University, where my love of language and communication really took shape. Over the years I've taken that passion and translated it into tutoring, working one on one with students in ESL, Spanish, and English across a wide range of ages and skill levels, from middle schoolers to adults returning to education after time away.
What I've learned from every student I've worked with is that confidence and competency go hand in hand. When someone is stuck, it's rarely just about the material. It's about feeling seen and supported enough to keep trying. That's the environment I try to create in every session. I pay close attention to where each student gets stuck, adjust my approach accordingly, and move at a pace that actually works for them rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
I'm patient, warm, and direct. I'll always be honest with you about where you are and what it'll take to get where you want to go. My goal is simple: I want you to leave every session feeling clearer and more capable than when you arrived. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a lesson. I'd love to work with you!
