Hello! I am a recent graduate of MIT in Computer Science and Biology with experience teaching students of all ages, from elementary school through college. Over the past several years, I have taught and tutored learners around the world in Biology, Statistics, Computer Science, Robotics, SAT/ACT preparation, and English. My academic training gave me the technical foundation, while my teaching experience has shown me how to adapt material for very different age groups and learning styles.

I have worked with students in one-on-one tutoring, classroom settings, and small groups. My methods focus on breaking down complex concepts into clear steps, encouraging active problem-solving, and connecting lessons to real-world applications. For younger students, I often use interactive and hands-on activities to keep learning engaging, while for older students, I emphasize analytical skills, practice with advanced material, and effective test-taking strategies. Whether helping a middle-schooler with their first coding project or supporting a college student in advanced coursework, my goal is to meet students where they are and help them build both confidence and mastery!

Inspiring and Insightful Tutor Who Brings Out the Best in Students

My daughter, Joyce had an amazing experience working with Lara. From the very beginning, she was kind, patient, and encouraging, creating a comfortable space where Joyce felt confident asking questions. Lara took the time to clarify any confusion and offered thoughtful, practical advice that helped Joyce improve her writing. Not only did Lara help Joyce craft an essay she is genuinely proud of, but she also made the entire session enjoyable and motivating. Joyce came away feeling inspired and confident to continue working on her essays. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of writing help or an essay review. You'll be in great hands!
