Hi!

I have also tutored a variety of students and levels from home school, private and public school, including online courses for 20 + years.

I have a knack of making math easier for my students and have had many go from hating math to truly liking it. Let me build your self-esteem in a positive motivating environment and open the doors for you! I always find time to assist my students, even if it is simply over a text or email to get through a difficult concept.

My hobbies include spending time with my family and pets and spending time outdoors whenever possible.

Phenomenal Math Teacher

Laura has been working with our daughter for a while and has been consistently able to help her truly ‘understand’ the concept presented and was instrumental in bringing her final grade up from an almost failing grade to a B+! ( She slayed her final) She was trying to study the work on her own and watching utube lessons - did not want a tutor until the last semester. Thank goodness for Laura! Now in her Junior year in high school, she will ask for a lesson with Laura only. Even if booked, Laura responds with several time/ date options and her flexibility is sincerely appreciated. She has a calm and kind demeanor that any child will like. Our daughter feared math and doubted her abilities. She no longer fears math and now says “ I think I did really well on my test!” With confidence. JB

Excellent tutor

My daughter needs help with her geometry honors class and Laura has helped tremendously and we’ve only had one session so far. Looking forward to the next sessions with her!!

Maya, 2 lessons with Laura

Great teacher and easy to understand!

My son’s first lesson was great! She was easy to understand and work with. He understands everything way better already!

Amanda, 3 lessons with Laura

Great Geometry Honors educator!!

Laura is helping my son keep up with Geometry Honors. She’s on time, very responsive, and most of all very easy to understand for my son. He has been able to grasp material with her so quickly vs how his teacher. He showed improvement immediately in quizzes/exams. He feels confident working with her. This class is no joke and even for academically exceeding students, help is definitely a must.

Yaira, 16 lessons with Laura

No Regrets!

So glad we decided to go the private tutor route. Laura makes the students comfortable and confident and even better than I hoped. Time is well spent and covers a lot of material.

JENNY, 5 lessons with Laura

Great Math tutor

Laura helped my son prepare for an Algebra2 test. She tutored my son the day before his test and it was great to see my son’s confidence and score go up just after one session. Thanks Laura!

Shalini, 1 lesson with Laura

Thoughtful and smart tutor for Honors Geometry

Laura has been tutoring my son in preparation for a big Honors Geometry test. She has really helped him gain a deeper understanding of *how* and *why* the problems work the way they do, while helping him feel confident about his knowledge and abilities. I would highly recommend her as a tutor for anyone needing extra assistance with Honors Geometry!

Kristen, 4 lessons with Laura

What we needed

Awesome. My daughter felt like she understood things she couldn't grasp before and she feels confident she passed the test which is amazing. Definitely would connect with Laura again for math help..

Rebecca, 6 lessons with Laura

Laura does a good job of making complicated math feel simple.

My grades have improved since working with Laura. I wish I would started sessions with her earlier in the class, but she helped me catch up when I was falling behind. She adapted well to my individual needs and situation.

Jesse, 6 lessons with Laura

Great tutor
