I am an experienced chemistry tutor that would love the opportunity to work with you or your family. I have worked in the past as an adjunct chemistry professor at multiple area colleges. I am currently employed as a full-time professor and have been teaching different chemistry courses for 15 years.

I have tutored many students over the past 20 years. I have helped middle and high school students studying math, as well as all levels of high school chemistry students, including general, AP, and honors. At the collegiate level, I am especially trained to help students in General Chemistry courses as I have acted as a professor in these courses for 16 years. The students that I work with who apply themselves have shown dramatic improvement - some in just a few sessions. My favorite part of tutoring is seeing the smile when it finally makes sense! I can almost feel the relief as students begin to decode chemistry and math and realize that they CAN do it.

Being in the classroom for so long helped me to realize that not everyone learns by the same methods. As a tutor, I see it as my job to build upon the material given in a student's classroom to help students to understand. Sometimes, it takes a creative approach to help something make sense.
I received my BA in chemistry and biochemistry with a minor in forensic studies. My master's degree was earned in Inorganic Chemistry. I have explored teaching pedagogies and earned a Teaching certificate in Higher Education through the Harvard Bok school of learning. I love to use active learning in tutoring sessions – Rather than just telling you how to solve a problem, I ask you to tell me your thought process and work to help you to figure it out.
I am currently looking for one or two additional students to support through the remainder of this academic year. Please contact me if you think I might be a good fit for your family - I will work with you to find a lesson plan that will help you to reach your goals.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have tutored a number of students in Algebra I and each one has improved drastically with the help that I have given them.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I am a trained chemist and have been teaching chemistry at the university level for 15 years. As a result, I am very familiar with the material being taught to both high school students and college students. This is the subject that I have the most experience tutoring. I am able to tutor general chemistry at the high school, honors, AP, and college level. I am also able to explain organic laboratory techniques.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

Although it has been some time since I attended elementary school, I do have a lot of experience working with young people in their studies. I regularly help my friend's children with their school work and have also helped my younger brother (who is ten years younger than myself) study a great deal throughout his childhood. I am familiar with the rules of grammar and reading, and feel that I could teach these with ease to children in elementary school. Additionally, I know the basics of mathematics and feel that I could teach any class successfully up to Algebra II. I am able to help with reading and writing as well, as I have much experience with writing.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

Pre-Algebra is really a foundational subject. Students need this subject to be reinforced and to have good founding in this subject so that they can succeed in the more advanced math classes. I have tutored several students in pre-algebra, so I am well versed in the things that students find to be "tricky" and have developed techniques to trouble shoot these issues.

Got an A in my class!

I had used Laura's tutoring services for almost 8 months, and I can safely say that she helped me keep my chem grade in top shape. Her patient guidance, easy instruction, bubbly personality, and flexbility during each lesson has helped me so much! Her experience as a chemistry professor means that she knows exactly what to look out for in terms of test preparation. If you are looking for someone to help prepare for future chem classes during the holidays or summer, she is the perfect person! She has lesson plans, tests, and practice to help your prepare! I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Laura!

Grade Improvements!

I've been using Laura tutoring service for about a month and it's really help improve my grades in AP Chemistry. Before I was averaging a C grade, and now I'm scoring at a B. The tutoring has allowed me to feel confident about my upcoming exam. I really appreciate how flexible she is with the hours she available for tutoring. She helps me correct tests, understand difficult problems, and teaches me thing I didn't fully understand or furthers my knowledge of the syllabus. Tutoring with Laura has been great!

Truly Caring and Knowledgable

Laura Has single handedly been the reason I am making an A in my Gen Chem 1 class this semester! She genuinely cares about helping, she is super accomodating and generous with her time, and shes a professor of chem. so you know you can trust her knowledge. It seems like teaching is truly her calling. She is also so friendly and personable and has made me feel super comfortable during the clunky process of learning new material. I plan to use her tutoring services as long as I am in Chemistry classes!

Amazing Tutor

Laura is a wonderful tutor. She has gotten my daughter to like chemistry. Prior to my daughter getting tutored by Laura she was very frustrated with chemistry and was struggling in class. Laura has helped her immensely. My daughter has an A in the class now and is more confident. I highly recommend Laura!

Organized and friendly

Great tutor. Very knowledgeable and very organized with the material. She teaches very clearly and easy to understand. Prompt in answering messages and easy to schedule lessons. Thank you!

Knowledgeable Chemistry Tutor

I’m in Intro to College Chemistry, and Laura helped me so much with all the units and the questions I struggled with. She took the time to teach me the content step by step and was always very patient. She explains things in a way that actually makes sense, which makes it much easier for me to learn. I now feel much more confident in chemistry and would definitely recommend Laura to other students.

Amazing Tutor!

Laura is an exceptional tutor who goes above and beyond to ensure her students truly understand the material. She has a remarkable ability to break down complex concepts into clear, simple, and efficient explanations that make learning both enjoyable and effective. She’s highly responsive, patient, and always willing to provide extra help or clarification when needed. Her depth of knowledge and passion for teaching are evident in every session. I always leave our sessions feeling more confident and motivated.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Laura G. has been my daughter’s weekly AP Chemistry tutor. She has been instrumental in helping her understand the material, filling in any gaps from her classroom learning, and applying that knowledge to problem-solving. Laura is incredibly flexible with scheduling, promptly responds to emails and questions, and is generally a great person to work with. I highly recommend Laura for Chemistry tutoring!

Great tutor.

Laura has been great in helping my daughter with her math questions. I could see progress almost immediately. Laura is very patient, quick to identify the gaps in student's understanding of the material, and find ways to close the gap. I am very happy with the progress I see. I would strongly recommend Laura. Thanks to Laura my daughter finished 5th grade with A in advanced math. Could not be happier about the progress or more grateful for all the work Laura did. Thank you!
