I am a teacher of 35 years and the mother of five grown children. Both my undergraduate and Master's degrees are in elementary education. If the following bullet points resonate with you, I may be the tutor for whom you are looking.

I believe that phonics is essential for good reading and spelling, that mastery of math facts is critical for success in math beyond 3rd grade, and that a good understanding of English grammar is extremely helpful for becoming a good writer.

I am a teacher of 35 years and the mother of five grown children. Both my undergraduate and Master's degrees are in elementary education. If the following bullet points resonate with you, I may be the tutor for whom you are looking.

I believe that phonics is essential for good reading and spelling, that mastery of math facts is critical for success in math beyond 3rd grade, and that a good understanding of English grammar is extremely helpful for becoming a good writer.

The three areas of teaching where I believe I am able to give students their biggest, quickest boost are these:
1) K5-7th grade math
2) K5-3rd grade reading and spelling
3) 2nd-6th grade grammar

I think that summer is a GREAT time for giving students an academic boost! In summer students are able to get 40-60 hours of tutoring in a matter of weeks, which is much quicker, more efficient, and more concentrated than they can get by tutoring an hour/week throughout the school year.

I would welcome the opportunity to talk with you about giving your child that boost, so feel free to contact me.

Grammar

Over many years of having taught 3rd-8th grade grammar, I have become quite experienced in giving students a strong foundation in grammar. I am often able to bring a child along rather quickly in his or her understanding of all eight parts of speech and also understanding the parts of a sentence. I find that students as young as 2nd and 3rd-graders can understand, not only about subjects and verbs, but also about direct objects, indirect objects, predicate adjectives, and predicate nominatives.

Elementary (K-6th)

I have taught all levels from kindergarten through 6th grade in my 35+ years of teaching. My undergraduate and Master's degrees are in elementary education. I have helped many students' improve their Stanford Achievement Test scores significantly within a single school year.
Elementary Math,

Elementary Math

I have helped numerous students improve percentiles dramatically when taking standardized achievement tests, but I do this by actually teaching students how to do math, not by "teaching the test". Because math is a subject which builds from one year to the next, many students will have their ability to succeed at their current grade level improved significantly by giving them practice with skills and concepts from earlier grade levels where they have gaps.

I have taught both cursive and manuscript handwriting at all elementary grade levels for over three decades.
Phonics,

Phonics

Having taught K5-3rd grades for many years of my teaching career, I have used phonics instruction in helping hundreds of students improve their reading and spelling. I have worked with students at the earliest stages of learning consonant sounds and vowel sounds and blending. I have made certain that my students get daily practice as they are learning the sounds and spellings of the various digraphs and diphthongs. I also consider it crucial that students in these grades master the spellings of the most commonly used words in our language.
Reading,

Reading

I have taught reading for 35+ years and have developed a proficiency for diagnosing what may be the root cause of a student having difficulty with reading. I am a firm believer that it is quite often a student's weak background in phonics which stands in the way of his or her becoming a better reader. When a student's difficulty is beyond the decoding stage of reading and is more about his or her comprehension of what is being read, there may be numerous comprehension sub-skills that need to be developed.
Spelling,

Spelling

I have both an undergraduate degree in elementary education and a Master's degree in elementary education. I have taught various level elementary grades for over 30 years. By using phonics, high-frequency word lists, and sometimes multi-sensory approaches to learning, I have often helped students to become better spellers.

Absolutely fantastic tutor

My daughter met with Mrs. H. yesterday. She is very kind and positive. My daughter felt very comfortable with her and she is ready for her next week's lesson. My daughter has a long road ahead of her, but I believe in time with Laurie Ann's help and guidance, she will not only succeed, but have a stronger core in reading which will help her for years to come. I feel like a small weight has been lifted and am excited that I have help with my daughter's reading now. She not only is helping my daughter, but is helping me, help my daughter too. I highly recommend Laurie Ann to any parent who has a child struggling in school.

Excellent!

Five stars all around. Lauri Anne is patient, kind, and creative. My daughter absolutely loves her time with her. Lauri is quick to recognize where she can be most helpful in the learning experience and is very communicative with the parent. We are so grateful!

Laurie Ann is a very knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Laurie Ann has the experience to analyze Aleister’s weaknesses and the ability to provide the appropriate instruction and practice he needs to strengthen his math skills. We are very pleased.

Outstanding teacher/tutor

Lauri Anne assessed our 15 year old family member who has been seriously struggling with math in middle school. We learned that she is further behind than we knew - the great news is that we have a plan to support her learning. We know that this will provide her the confidence that will help her life to be independent and successful.
