Got glint? Glint is passion. It is the spark that sets things in motion. But how do you keep the fire going? As an educator with a masters from Brown University, a producing artist, a mentor by day and creator by night, I understand that success must be fueled by desire.

Got glint? Glint is passion. It is the spark that sets things in motion. But how do you keep the fire going? As an educator with a masters from Brown University, a producing artist, a mentor by day and creator by night, I understand that success must be fueled by desire.

For the last four years I have focused on what sparks my students to lean forward. In New York, I dedicated time to volunteering with Good Shepherd Services to serve as a Curriculum Coordinator for youth programs. Outside the nonprofit sector, I've tutored students with test preparation at centers in all five boroughs to help review material for their ISEE/SHSAT, SAT/ACT & AP exams. In 2014, I was hired by the Ivy Team to mentor students through the application process and have since helped hundreds of students gain acceptance into the college of their dreams.

I understand the frustration of juggling academic challenges with individual pursuits. As an adolescent, I was a competitive figure skater. I found it difficult to maintain a good GPA while training and traveling to competitions over weekends. So my parents hired a teaching artist to help me in the off season. She would sing me the multiplication tables and grammar rules from "School House Rock" songs. Those funky jingles stuck with me and continue to influence the foundation of my approach: ignite the glint that makes learning and academic planning exciting yet manageable.

My experience has taught me that play is the thing. I always enjoy demystifying the enigma of concepts-like quadratic formula or subject/verb agreement-with fun rhymes or tricks that keep my students and their brains engaged. The more fun they have, the more likely they’ll be to take agency over their own education.

Great Tutor!

Lauren has been helping our daughter with ISEE preparation. She has started with thorough assessment of our daughter's needs, strengths and weaknesses and then developed individual learning plan. So far we have completed several sessions with Lauren and been very happy with our daughter's sharp increase in performance and motivation to study, especially in math. Thanks, Lauren!

Super Knowledgeable and encouraging!

The amount of information and resources Lauren provides is incredible. My typically slow to start child looks forward to sitting down with Lauren. We are so happy to have found her and can already see the progress in just a few weeks!

Great SAT Tutor

Lauren took the time over 6 weeks to build up my rising senior son and make him understand the SAT game much better. With her patience and expertise he will now approach the test with 100% more confidence and preparation. His practice scores rose by 10-20% during that short time and he was very pleased with her ability and professionalism. Thanks Lauren!

Excellent first lesson.

Lauren was great with my twin girls. Getting them to see writing as a way of expressing their thoughts rather than a chore. The girls were engaged.
