Highly experienced writing tutor.
Donna, 19 lessons with LaurieLaurie has been tutoring my son for the last two months to improve his writing such as book response and book report, research paper, and writing projects in school. My son is a fifth grader. He is a great reader, but only interested in reading humorous books. He found it very difficult to get started in any writing and can not give enough details and make the paragraph flow. Therefore, his writing is very short, about 6 sentences. As the first step, Laurie has recommended some humor...

Great teacher
Laurie M. has recently started tutoring my son who is a senior. She has showed my son techniques that she teaches her students and makes things easier for my son. My son has struggled in English and having Laurie be so patient and watching my son actually focus when she tutors him is beyond words. I would definitely recommend Laurie to anyone. She is great!!!

Outstanding tutor! Very responsive and accessible too!
When I first came onto the WyzAnt website, I was at a point where I knew I needed help. I was still very apprehensive about seeking help for my inability to comprehend what I read. I went through the process, and I found Laurie. She and I met and discussed my background in reading, learned about my frustrations while reading, and gave me a small test in the initial consultation to find out where I was. All along, she was very understanding and thorough. She helped put me at ease and she was very encouraging. We agreed to proceed with lessons. I was still a bit nervous, but I knew there was a real sense of urgency to get my reading woes addressed. I had a very productive first lesson with her! Laurie was able to put me at ease with seeking help and about reading. She was very encouraging with me. I plan to keep working with her for however long it takes me to get to a solid level of reading comprehension. Laurie is outstanding at what she does! I would encourage any parent, student or adult who is concerned about their reading skills to contact Laurie and meet with her. I highly recommend her! You won't be sorry.

Excellent tutor!
I highly recommend Laurie. Her tutoring skills are only outmatched by her ability to connect with your child. My son was resistant to having a tutor but from the first session, he was captivated by Laurie's warmth and humor. She is skilled in all areas of language arts and he is making steady improvements every week. I can't say enough good things about her. She is awesome.
