I love watching children learn. There is something called the ‘Lightbulb Moment'. It is that moment where everything seems to just click, and they understand! From teaching 3- and 4-years olds to begin to read to then watch them progress throughout their academic life is a priceless experience.

Thank you, thank you and again thank you! My daughter mastered missing numbers! She just couldn’t get it and then I found Laura. Yes! Looking forward to our next session as we begin learning times tables.

Times tables! Ah what a nightmare. My 10 year old son just couldn’t memorize them. He sat with Maura for 45 min once a week for 2 months and knows them all. She would assign him homework, it was all themed around race cars. He looked forward to her homework. He is now doing division with her once a week. Thank you! I can’t recommend her enough!

Laura helped my daughter learn to blend. She’s 5 and was really struggling. She took a 6 week class, twice a week, plus homework with Laura. She is now able to read and blend her words more accurately. Laura spent a good 30 minutes getting to know her and created material around her likes!

Once a week Spanish lessons with Laura are fun, engaging and interactive. My son is learning so much, he actually enjoys the homework she sets.
