About
As an experienced and meticulous Master Teacher, I possess a vast knowledge of educational strategies across different subject areas, with a specific focus on Reading, Writing, Comprehension, and Language. I pride myself on being an excellent communicator, fostering a positive and engaging learning environment with exceptional rapport. My dedication to teaching has been recognized by my school district with the Teacher of the Year award. For over two decades, I have taught both general and special education, as well as Speech Therapy. I offer speech therapy services that cover all modalities, and interested parties can call to schedule an evaluation. I am currently running a Spring Special offer of eight lessons for the price of seven, but for a limited time only.
My greatest satisfaction comes from watching my students excel and reach their goals while also gaining confidence and self-esteem during our time together. I consider teaching my passion, which is reflected in the many successful former students whom I still keep in touch with. My goal is to provide my students with Outcome-Based Education and the skills they need to succeed and excel beyond my lessons.
I also offer Speech and Language Therapy, including a free evaluation process. However, please note that I do not do proofreading services for publications such as APA proofreading. To make a payment, clients can pay via cash, check or Zelle. Also, please note that I'm only available for afternoon and evening lessons. Thank you.

From the beginning, Laurie has been an exceptional tutor. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found a teacher of her caliber to help my child with ADHD.

Laurie was a great fit for my daughter. Her communication style was both patient and effective, which my daughter appreciated. As a parent, I particularly appreciated that after each session, Laurie would email me a summary of what had been covered.

You need to hire her immediately! She is absolutely flawless! Plus, the best part is that you're getting a two-for-one deal with a teacher and speech pathologist, all for an incredibly reasonable rate. She's worth 2-3 times what she charges for the amount of value she brings to the table. Not only did she purchase the books for my son's reading lessons, but she goes beyond by helping with his speech issues for no extra charge. Recently, my son received a card from her recognizing him as her star student, improving his self-esteem and performance. She's a patient, kind, yet firm instructor that has no trouble teaching my 6-year-old online. She also sends me a detailed report after each session showing all the progress made. It's rare to find someone with her level of care, diligence, and work ethic at such an affordable rate. Don't wait, hire her before she realizes she should triple her rate!
