Bio

I have been tutoring Math and French for about 10 years now. Before that I was teaching computer science at college level in Montreal, Canada (where I am from) and then in a private school to children from Kindergarten to grade 8. My training as a computer programmer has allowed me to have a better than normal understanding of computer software in general. I strongly believe that you need to master topics real well before you can even start to explain them to anyone. I gravitated towards...

I have been tutoring Math and French for about 10 years now. Before that I was teaching computer science at college level in Montreal, Canada (where I am from) and then in a private school to children from Kindergarten to grade 8. My training as a computer programmer has allowed me to have a better than normal understanding of computer software in general. I strongly believe that you need to master topics real well before you can even start to explain them to anyone. I gravitated towards tutoring because I prefer the one on one experience compared to a classroom environment. The best part about tutoring for me is when the students show mastery of the material through assignments, and when they report that they did really well on their quizzes & tests.

In math, I have tutored over 20 students in subjects ranging from elementary math, geometry, pre-algebra, SAT and ACT math, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus, and statistics. The students I have worked with mostly get a B or above in their classes. I not only possess phenomenal math skills but I also have the ability to communicate them effectively. For French, I have mostly worked with students in the IB program, teaching conjugation, grammar, written and conversational skills required to pass the French IB exam. The students I have worked with have passed their exams with a 5 or above (on a scale from 1 to 7). I am a native French speaker. I am very strong in grammar, conjugation, oral and written skills. Great for conversational French too!

I look forward to helping you be more successful in your classes!

My 1st Lesson

Laurence was very friendly and first explained about skype and how we would work together. We were going over about how the computer was set up and some of the steps of how to reach the different programs and folders. She was able to explain some of microsoft word also. Because I had to write notes down and repeat some questions she was patient and not hard to understand. My first experience of working on line like this was not difficult to follow or understand.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor for IB French

Very knowledge and flexible! My son already feels more confident after one lesson!! She gave my son work to do on his own and was able to steer him towards the areas he needs work in!

Tiffiny , 53 lessons with Laurence

Laurence quickly fixed my mistakes and showed me how to do correctly

I worked with equations and inequalities with Laurence. Also graphing and slope. I was very confused and she was able to quickly correct what I was doing wrong. Great session! I feel good about understanding the problems now. Thank you Laurence!!!!

Extremely thorough in her explanation of material

Laurence was an effective tutor, taking her time making sure my daughter fully understood the Honors Algebra 2 material. She followed up the next day to ensure she didn’t have any questions. Very pleased and would highly recommend.
