Wonderful beyond words
Carol, 28 lessons with LauraFinding a tutor that can TEACH is really difficult, and then when you add the requirements of being kind, patient, and encouraging to the list, it seems that you have an impossible task.

I'm Laura Z., a 28 year old female with a true passion for mathematics and science. I have been tutoring for 10 years now and have had great success with my students, ranging from middle school to college-age, and non-traditional students.
I began tutoring by helping other students in my high school classes. In college, I worked as a private math and physics tutor with the Physics department at the University of Louisiana. I was then hired by the ULL Athletic Department to help fellow...

Wonderful beyond words
Finding a tutor that can TEACH is really difficult, and then when you add the requirements of being kind, patient, and encouraging to the list, it seems that you have an impossible task. I was faced with retaking business calculus, and was terrified. I looked and checked into many tutors - many were just "kids" who'd already passed calculus and now thought they could tell someone else how to pass. This might work for some students, but I really needed an instructor, and I was so very lucky to find Laura. She took time to make sure that I had all the formulas understood and the rules learned. She showed me different ways to approach equations, and even after retelling me 100 times, she was still kind and understanding. I would gladly recommend Laura to any student looking for help learning. She is amazing. If I come across another type of math that I need help with, I will call her again. She was professional and punctual. In addition, if you have last minute question or test anxiety (like I do), she takes the time to work with that. I will say it again: she was amazing. She was able to get this 30-something, single mom, college student to remember algebra stuff that was long forgotten and then pile new calc info on to that in a summer session at CU class, and I think she can that and more for other students. So, thank you Laura. Your ability to teach calculus allowed me to earn an A- in calculus. This is a 3 letter grade improvement over what I had earned at the end of last semester. You made the difference in my learning the material, and I am so very grateful!

Knowledgeable and friendly
Laura was very helpful in prepping me for my chemistry test. She was clear in her explanations. And, she was fun. I would use her again when I have concerns about my chemistry or just to help with studies.

Laura was very good at explaining the concept and had a lot of knowledge. She definitely made things more clear for my upcoming test. 5 out of 5.

Her enthusiasm is contagious.
Laura really was engaging with our daughter. She took input from us and blended that into a solid 60 minutes. Her enthusiasm is contagious.

Laura is very proactive, engaging and leading the way of discussions for issues and problems that the student has. She is also very methodical and with vision for the subject that is to be tutored. So far she is excellent!

Extremely Personable Tutor and Eventual Friend
Laura is extremely personable and approachable whether it is through her tutoring or simply talking about cross country and sports, which we found was something we both enjoyed doing. In anticipation of the ACT test, my confidence and skills were depleted. Laura helped to adjust my point of view about the test and we developed strategies and methods in order for me to conquer the test. Fortunately, there was immediate improvement after a few sessions with Laura and an automatic boost in my self confidence in regards to taking the ACT. Thanks Laura

Process continues to be great!
Our daughter was very apprehensive about her first tutoring lesson. Laura was great at easing her fears while still holding her accountable. I look forward to watching our daughter's confidence grow along with her desire to change her approach on what has been a difficult subject for her. Thanks Laura! After three lessons our daughter has made great improvement and her confidence level continues to grow. She is actually looking forward to her next test. We are very pleased with Laura, great person and great teacher!

Always a great session.
Laura has been tutoring my 7th grader for a few months and just began tutoring my 2nd grader more recently. Both children enjoy their sessions with Laura and have learned a lot!

Great tutor.
Laura was right on time for the tutoring session. She covered many aspects of the Physics chapter and lab, as well as some problematic areas in Calculus BC with my daughter. She said that Laura was very professional and very efficient and a great teacher. Overall, the experience was excellent, and we look forward to working with Laura on a regular basis!
