About Lauren

Bio

I am a Yale Graduate with a focus on tutoring math and science in addition to test prep. I have been tutoring for over a decade since graduating from college and have worked with many students to boost confidence and achieve their goals.

I enjoy helping students understand math and science. I work with them to understand the patterns and connections between different concepts to help deepen their comprehension and improve their retention. I ask questions and draw parallels to earlier ideas...

I am a Yale Graduate with a focus on tutoring math and science in addition to test prep. I have been tutoring for over a decade since graduating from college and have worked with many students to boost confidence and achieve their goals.

I enjoy helping students understand math and science. I work with them to understand the patterns and connections between different concepts to help deepen their comprehension and improve their retention. I ask questions and draw parallels to earlier ideas to help them connect new information with the ideas they already know.

I know the formats of the SAT, ACT, and AP tests very well and work hard to demystify these tests so the students feel confident and prepared on test day. I work with students preparing for all sections of the test or individual parts depending on need. We focus on test taking strategies, deconstructing how the test asks questions, and strengthening understanding of the content. For AP tests I make sure we review both the material from class and also the way the test expects students to apply that knowledge.

I look forward to hearing from you about your tutoring needs and coming up with a plan for success.

Algebra 2,

Algebra 2

I have been tutoring high school math and science for 9 years. I have worked with many students to strengthen their math foundation and excel in algebra 2.
Calculus,

Calculus

Calculus is one of my favorite topics because it ties together most of the math learned by students prior to calculus and allows deeper understanding of how math functions. It also forms the foundation to allow a deeper exploration of sciences especially physics. My passion for the subject allows me to help students see these connections and use them to form a deeper understanding of how calculus can help strengthen their understanding of how math works. I spend time getting to know each student and their strengths and weakness and use those to help them excel in their calculus courses.
Chemistry,

Chemistry

I spent the first five semesters in college as a chemistry major, taking several advanced chemistry, physics, and math courses. I have been tutoring chemistry for 10 years and love working with students to demystify a fascinating branch of science. I worked with students in regents chem, AP Chem, and college level chemistry and so am familiar with the breadth and depth of the various courses.
Physics,

Physics

I have been tutoring physics for 10 years and love helping students explore this complex branch of science. Physics explains so much of the world around us and I help students see this and understand those connections. I took several advanced physics course in college in addition to AP physics in high school. I am familiar with the regents, AP, and SAT tests and helping students prepare for them.
SAT Math,

SAT Math

I have been helping students achieve their goal scores for the past decade. I spent a year teaching SAT prep classes after graduating from college before realizing I could be more effective working with students individually. Personalized tutoring allows me to focus on their individual strengths and weakness and work with them to create a plan that works with their study style to achieve.

Knowledgeable and friendly

I like Lauren’s teaching style. She talks to my teenage daughter in a peer to peer way, which helps her feel less intimidated while going over complicated math problems. I also appreciate her taking time to answer my questions and concerns between sessions. I highly recommend Lauren.

KRISTIN, 5 lessons with Lauren

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Lauren has helped me immeasurably with physics, algebra, calculus and the SAT. I struggled with physics and Lauren patiently explained to me everything I was having trouble understanding. She walked me through confusing assignments and gave me the tools I needed to solve problems on my own. My teacher noted how strongly I finished the year. I think her style of tutoring is extremely useful and works well both online and in real life. She is very good about illustrating concepts and writing things out so I can better visualize what I'm trying to understand. She is also very patient and understanding. Lauren helped me master math concepts and strategies for the SAT. She is great about providing resources and detailed explanations.

Lisa, 23 lessons with Lauren

So nice and so helpful

I worked with Lauren for about two months and in that time she helped me raise my physics grade by 40 percent. She has so much patience in terms of explaining things, and really helps you to understand the material.

Tracey, 9 lessons with Lauren

Lauren is great. She has helped my daughter so much!

Lauren tutors my daughter in Regent's Level Physics and is wonderful. Lauren is extremly knowledgaeable about the subject and explains things very clearly. She also is very resourceful in her use of materials and learning tools, and she is great about being flexible with lessons and adapting to curriculum changes, etc. My daughter's confidence in Physics has grown immensely since her time working wtih Lauren. I highly recommend Lauren as a tutor.

Kendall, 8 lessons with Lauren

Knowledgable and patient tutor !

She made me understand physics topics that were foreign to me and made them seem simple and I fully understand what I need to know to pass my exam now! Thanks a ton! Highly recommend

Claudia, 2 lessons with Lauren

Fast paced and excellent tutor

My daughter is extremely happy with Lauren. She is excellent on tutoring AP Physics. The lessons are usually 1.5 hours and they cover the topics and questions. Anyway, we are lucky to have Lauren. Found a genius!

Jeanne , 18 lessons with Lauren

Great physics tutor

Lauren is very helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. I highly recommend her. She’s also easy to communicate with and is flexible.

Elena, 14 lessons with Lauren

Great tutor

Lauren has been helping my son with SAT prep for the past two and a half months. My son feels that he is benefiting a lot from the time he spends with her and his prep test scores have been consistently improving. She sends detailed notes to me of the material she is covering in every class and gives me constant updates of what they still need to work on. She is a patient and knowledgeable tutor. Highly recommended.

Gustavo, 65 lessons with Lauren

Patient, kind, knowledgeable tutor.

Lauren was available to tutor my daughter at a moment's notice. She helped her review for her exam and helped her with homework problems that she did not understand. My daughter enjoys it when she can get help from Lauren. She listens and asks questions to find out her weaknesses. We highly recommend!

Regina, 2 lessons with Lauren
