I too felt that I would have loved to have gotten the chance to hang out with her. The other great thing about her is that she listens to what I want, she does not get upset easily or makes ger own decisions about what to teach. We worked closely together and she always was on the same page as me. For creative writing or learning handwriting, I recommend this lovely tutor wholeheartedly! I hope to see her again in the summer!

Lori was very warm and engaging and my granddaughter immediately liked her. After each session, my granddaughter was so excited and happy. The session had been great! She was inspired to spend several hours writing right away, and throughout the week this enthusiasm continued. Lori spent time connecting with my granddaughter each session. Lori had interesting lesson plans that helped organize and inspire creative writing. I highly recommend Lori G!
