About

I enjoy working with students in a one-to-one setting. This is a great way to learn new skills or review overall skills without the interference of other students. I have seen wonderful improvement in the skills of the students I have tutored over the past 25 years. I have worked with preschoolers thru 6th grade students and enjoy all of them. The students and I develop a great relationship!! I provide continuous positive reinforcement and often surprise the students with a gift for working hard on their skills. Last year, I worked with students thru Zoom and these students continued to show progress in developing their skills. I am a retired Resource Specialist and have worked with students with many different types of learning disabilities. If a child has a difficult time learning, I am very good at figuring out whether he or she is a visual or auditory learner and why it has been difficult for a student to learn in the classroom. If a child is struggling with reading, writing or math, I have many different techniques to teach them skills that may not be used in the classroom setting.

I enjoy teaching and it is especially rewarding to work with students in a one-to-one setting. I enjoy presenting new skills to students and coming up with new ways to allow them to master these skills. I am creative in developing materials that will assist students in learning. It is so rewarding when a student learns to read, write and/or develop math skills after struggling in the classroom setting. I also enjoy communicating with parents and teachers regarding the student's abilities, learning styles and successes. After each tutoring session, I meet with the parent and have the student explain what we worked on. I show the parents what was accomplished in the tutoring hour.

    Laurie is truly a professional and overall a great educator. She has many years of experience which allows her to modify her teaching according to what my nephew needs. She knows when to slow down when my nephew struggles and has always motivated him to be better. During the pandemic, Laurie was very flexible and made sure that we continue our sessions via zoom. I really appreciate her going out of the way by providing the necessary materials and even customizing the reading content so my nephew makes an easier connection to the stories. Very thankful to have Laurie in our lives.

    Laurie was always sensitive to my sons needs and was always encouraging. She came up with creative ideas for helping my son learn, she brought flashcards for him. She also gave him a fun pizza slice game to help learn fractions. She always went above and beyond for my sons learning. I appreciate Laurie and shes a wonderful tutor.

    Frequently asked questions

    The first time that I meet with a student, I speak with the student and the parent to find out what the reason is for tutoring. Then I  do some type of assessment to determine the student's skills in reading, math and/or writing. If the parent is interested in my communicating with the teacher, I will call the teacher, introduce myself and get feedback about the student's skills and academic needs.

    I have a Special Ed credential in Learning Handicapp and a multi subject regular ed credential . I also have a Resource Specialist certificate.
