I am an engineer with a Lean Sigma Master Black Belt certification, who has been tutoring elementary, middle, high school and college students for the past 20 years. In addition, I have been teaching physics, math and engineering classes at IUS, Ivy Tech, and Mercy Academy for the past 15 years, and teaching leadership skills in the business world for the past 10 years. I see myself not only as a tutor, but as a role model and mentor for all of my students. This year, two of my students graduated from high school, and I started tutoring them when they were in the 5th grade. Another passion of mine is to help young people prepare for standardized tests (ISTEP, ACT, SAT, GRE, MCAT, etc.).

Laura made email contact within the day and we had a session within the week. My son has told me that Laura was helpful and he really liked her, we have already scheduled another session. All of this coming from a young teen!!

Just in time

My son came away from his second session saying thank you to his dad and me for finding Laura. He says he feels more confident returning to in-person school after working with her.

Great working with schedules

She definitely helped my son prepare for the college exam. He feels more prepared and thinks he will so just fine. She worked with our schedule, since we were on a time crunch.

Great tutor

Laura S. helped me out with my physics and did a good job and helping me understand it a lot better.

Jake, 1 lesson with Laura

Great teacher

Just had first lesson for 2 kids. Kids are apparently impressed (grudgingly let it on of course). We felt confident we had made the right choice. Results hopefully will confirm our first impression. Meanwhile she is prompt, responsive and affable.

Excellent Tutor

Laura was a big help in preparing for my SAT test. She gave me some great tips, and we went over the areas where I missed questions the first test. I am confident that my score will improve this time.
