As Valedictorian of my high school class and a Cum Laude graduate of Texas A&M University, I have a record of excellence in education. With a BA degree in English and a minor in accounting, I have a passion for all things English and all things math. For several years, I have honed my tutoring skills in three areas: English, mathematics, and test prep.

Highly rec Laura - test prep strategy
My son had a fabulous session with Laura. We chose in person, but she does offer online. She's very knowledgeable, patient, kind and a clear/concise communicator. No minutes were wasted and my son and I both saw the value of the session. I wish we could do many, many sessions with her. We will be able to do a few more test strategy prep sessions before he takes SAT and ACT. I'm super grateful to have found Laura.

Wonderful Tutor
We have been tutoring with Laura for several years, with a long break in between the private school decision process. We started tutoring again this summer, and she continues to be an invaluable teacher and incredible motivator for our 12-year old son. It’s truly a perfect match for our son who’s easily distracted and at times not motivated to learn outside of school. He truly enjoys Laura’s teaching style and personality so he is always engaged and learning.

Relaxed, patient, and extremely helpful
Laura is helping my son quickly prepare for the ACT, specifically where he struggles the most, which is getting through the math section in time. She's teaching him to slow down, read the question thoroughly, and to look for the actual question they are asking - which isn't always to solve for X. She is also teaching him test taking strategies to make sure he gets through the answers as efficiently as possible, in all areas of the test. We are SO grateful to have found her!

We have been tutoring with Laura since last year, with a long break in between the private school decision process. We started tutoring again this summer, and she continues to be an invaluable teacher and incredible motivator for our 11-year old son. Amazing she can keep him engaged without school going on and an easily distracted personality.

Tutor is patient, encouraging and makes learning fun!
Laura is very patient and is very encouraging and positive. She allows the student time to figure things out on their own when appropriate and offers help when it is necessary. Laura has much experience and challenges the student just enough to help the student grow and learn. I recommend her.

Wonderful Tutor
We have been tutoring with Laura consistently since September, and have been impressed with her communication and effectiveness of her approach. Although our focus is on the ISEE, our son has made significant improvements in his current public school education as well.

Wonderful Tutor
We have had several tutoring sessions with Laura and my 10 year-old in preparation for the ISEE. My son can be easily distracted but Laura has expertly guided our son through sessions, keeping him engaged and focused. He recently took the ISEE to check where he is at, and his scores increased significantly from 5 months ago.

Great tutor
She took the time to get to know my daughter and helped her identify strategies that would work for her. She enjoyed the session and is looking forward to the next one.
