About Laura


Bio

My love of teaching comes from a passion for the applied sciences. I love seeing the look of understanding on my students' faces when a seemingly incomprehensible topic suddenly makes sense. I have experience tutoring in Chemistry and Algebra through a teaching assistant position at Texas Woman's University.

My love of teaching comes from a passion for the applied sciences. I love seeing the look of understanding on my students' faces when a seemingly incomprehensible topic suddenly makes sense. I have experience tutoring in Chemistry and Algebra through a teaching assistant position at Texas Woman's University.

As I graduated with honors and a double major in Biochemistry and Chemistry, I understand the values of hard work and diligence and have had great success instilling comprehension and application of Chemistry to my students; I have had the immense pleasure of observing students realize their own potentials and overcome obstacles to achieve their goals and improve. I have recently obtained my MS in Chemistry, and I have experience being a Teaching Assistant through the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry for Texas Woman's University for multiple years. I have taught laboratory classes and tutored for Introduction to General Chemistry, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Quantitative Chemical Analysis.

I received my B.S.N. and, in the process, have taken and made A's in Biology, Biochemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, and Pathophysiology. I use a variety of teaching methods and have had great success explaining biological concepts and applications to my students.

When I took the ACT, I scored a perfect score and am more than capable to help with ACT Prep.

In order to challenge (yet not overwhelm) my students, I assign personalized homework for each student after the session as well as periodical quizzes designed to test comprehension and retention of material. This allows me to assess how the student is progressing.

I am more than willing either to travel for sessions or have sessions online. If you would like to discuss options, I do offer complimentary consultations. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you achieve success in your academic endeavors!

Big help!

She was knowledgeable, kind, and had a great sense of humor! When she left my daughter's words were, "that was the best hour I have ever spent!" Thanks Laura! And, by the way, she made an A on the exam!

Lisa, 1 lesson with Laura

Impatient but helpful

I had a few lessons with Laura. She was helpful in the first lesson, but as we progressed she got more and more frustrated with me when I didn't understand a concept or was making small errors. She was condescending at times and I expressed that I had little guidance from my professor so I needed a lot of help, but I was made to feel stupid and belittled. She would explain concepts at the topical level, but would never fully explain as a whole. Also a few of our lessons were cancelled on her end due to unexpected things, and she was flexible with me when the same in turn happened. I have no personal qualms with her, but this was my experience as of recent.

Sav, 4 lessons with Laura

Great teacher

Did well with chemistry lessons for my 10th grader. Helped him understand concepts as well as supplement, his schoolwork and answer questions

Daniel, 9 lessons with Laura

Knowledgeable but got frustrated

Laura tutored my daughter yesterday. She is knowledgeable and helped her a lot, but she became frustrated with my daughter and kept repeating that she ( Laura) had a long day. We will not be using Laura V. again.

Dina, 1 lesson with Laura

Laura is confidently knowledgeable and encouraging.

Laura reiterated the basics of nomenclature, and briefly touched on cis-trans isomerism. My session also included student participation with whiteboard interactions

Erica , 5 lessons with Laura

Amazing Tutor!

Laura is an amazing tutor. Not only is she super knowledgeable in the chemistry department, but she wants you to be knowledgeable in that department too! She has really helped me to work through my challenges in chemistry and understand what I’m doing so much better. She is super flexible, understanding, patient, and will care about you as a person as well. 10/10 recommend!

Adriana, 24 lessons with Laura

Excellent tutor helpful with 1st semester college chemestry

Laura has a strong knowledge base of chemistry and the ability to teach it. She has her own materials to augment classroom materials if needed. She can explain concepts in ways that are easy to understand. She can teach, not just go over past classroom problems to see what a student did wrong.

Lee Ann, 9 lessons with Laura

Great Teacher

She very patient and very helpful and very knowledgeable 🙂I can’t wait to continue working with her, our first session we went over word problems and she break down everything

Tosha, 6 lessons with Laura

Knowledgeable and fun

My daughter said she was great and made the the tutoring session fun and worthwhile. If we have to schedule another session this school year we will defiantly reach out to Laura.

John, 3 lessons with Laura

Very thorough

Laura really helped my daughter feel more comfortable with chemistry. It was a complex lesson that she was stumped on and in just one session, my daughter felt a lot better. I would definitely recommend her!
