About Laurie

Empowering elementary students to reach their full potential is the core of my teaching practice. With 20+ years of experience as a Certified teacher, I specialize in Math, English, and Music & Drama. I believe every child learns differently, so I actively listen and adapt my methods--whether through visual aids or hands-on activities--to suit your child's unique needs. By connecting challenging concepts to their personal interests and celebrating small wins, I foster both confidence and a genuine love for learning. I prioritize open communication with families to ensure we are always working toward the best possible outcomes. Witnessing that "aha!" moment when a student finally masters a difficult skill is the most rewarding part of my work. I am happy to meet at your home, a library, or online. I look forward to helping your child discover how capable they truly are.
