Feedback from Parents

  • "When Laura came over to assess my two daughters’ reading abilities, after what I thought were some concerning signs, I walked away with a level of confidence in her evaluation that I have never gotten from their schools. Laura’s honesty and thoroughness were so reassuring, I’ve asked her to come back quarterly and assess them, so I know they won’t fall behind without me catching on."

  • "My daughter started working with Laura toward the end of second grade and has continued working with her weekly for the last year. Before Laura, my daughter dreaded working with a tutor and gave me a hard time every week before her session. After her first session with Laura, my daughter came bouncing down the stairs and yelled "that was so much fun!" For the last year, my daughter has willingly and happily sat down for her sessions because Laura is so engaging and so age appropriate with her interactions and expectations. She quickly figured out the areas my daughter needed targeted instruction in and got to work making their sessions meaningful and enjoyable. My daughter's reading skills have improved dramatically over the last year, her confidence is up and she looks forward to working with Laura every week! I feel so grateful to have Laura in our corner"

  • "I had the privilege of working with Laura for 9 years, where I was able to witness the unique gift she has for teaching children to read, and strengthening the skills of those who are already reading. Laura has a remarkable ability to connect with students at all levels, and is particularly adept at working with children with a variety of learning needs. She is able to accurately assess a child’s learning gaps, and create a customized plan for addressing them. She has a firm belief in the growth potential of every child, and her academic results speak for themselves. Laura would be a true asset to any child’s teaching team!"

  • I cannot recommend Laura highly enough. We started working with Laura when my daughter was in 1st grade. She wasn't behind in reading, but she was barely making the grade-level expectations and this had been the case all throughout K. She lacked confidence and was shy to read in front of others. Thanks to Laura's help, after about 6 months of working together, my daughter is now reading slightly ahead of her class and is a confident reader who likes to read herself to sleep at night! Her national test score percentage increased dramatically and her teacher is raving about her progress. My daughter has benefited so much from working with Laura. Laura makes tutoring fun and engaging and knows how to challenge my daughter without frustrating her. Thanks to Laura's help, my daughter is on track to be a lifelong reader and book lover.

  • My first grader has been working with Laura for the last 5 months and his reading improvement has been dramatic. Laura’s sessions are engaging and fun and my son is always happy to see her. Laura stays a few extra minutes each session to debrief the lesson with me, talk about next steps, and answer any questions I may have. Not only do I see improvements in my son’s reading skills, but his confidence has also increased tremendously. Reading is no longer the struggle it was before we started working with Laura. We are so grateful for her help!
