About Laura

Empowering students to reach their full potential has been my primary focus for the past 21 years in the classroom. As a certified teacher with a graduate degree, I specialize in English and study skills for elementary and middle school students. My approach centers on building confidence and fostering a genuine love for learning rather than simple memorization. By actively listening and observing how you interact with new material, I tailor my methods to fit your unique learning style. When concepts become challenging, I break them down into manageable steps to build momentum. I believe open communication is the foundation of a collaborative environment that helps you succeed. Seeing your confidence grow as you master new skills remains the most rewarding part of my work. My superpower has always been getting students to enjoy reading at some level, so bring on those summer novels!
