Hi! I'm Lauren. I have a Ph.D. in Geography from Texas A&M and a double B.A. in Geography and International Relations from UT Austin. I have spent the last ten years teaching and tutoring geography, environmental science, and research skills to students from high school to graduate level. My goal with every student is not just a better grade, but real confidence that carries into the next test, the next class, and beyond.

Hi! I'm Lauren. I have a Ph.D. in Geography from Texas A&M and a double B.A. in Geography and International Relations from UT Austin. I have spent the last ten years teaching and tutoring geography, environmental science, and research skills to students from high school to graduate level. My goal with every student is not just a better grade, but real confidence that carries into the next test, the next class, and beyond.
At Texas A&M, I was a TA and lecturer for five years across eight geography courses spanning human and physical geography, working with over 1,200 students across fifteen sections. Beyond the classroom, I have tutored students one-on-one in AP Human Geography, physical geography, earth science, and GIS, helping with everything from conceptual frameworks and free-response writing to spatial analysis and map interpretation. I also work with college and graduate students on research projects, thesis writing, and editing, whether that means structuring an argument, cleaning up a methodology section, or getting unstuck on a stubborn draft.
My style is patient, direct, and adaptive. I find where a student is actually stuck and build practice around that, using real-world examples, maps, and targeted prompts rather than just rereading the textbook. I am easy to reach, quick to respond, and always happy to hear from parents about what their student needs. If your student needs help with the AP exam, a tough course, or stronger study and writing habits, I would love to work with them!
