"Laurie is an absolutely amazing tutor. Be aware that when you are hiring Laurie that she is so much more than a tutor. She's a teacher and it shows. My son is in 5th grade, has fairly extreme adhd, and struggles heavily with reading. We started working with Laurie twice a week last year and he has grown by over 3 grade levels! More important, a child who once hated reading, is finding so much joy in it again! It can be incredibly hard to get him to focus and she does every time. She's been so incredible that we increased to 4 days a week for the summer. We have worked with her both in person and virtually. She's awesome for both.
Not only is she more than capable in her abilities, but her connection with my child is unmatched. She keeps him engaged and he has a truly awesome relationship with her. Impressed doesn't even cover how I feel. I would be surprised if you could find someone better suited. I was honestly ready to give up on his IEP and just work with Laurie. The comparison between when we started working with Laurie and where he is now is simply astonishing. Hands down the best decision we made for our child. Teaching is truly her calling and it exudes in everything she does. Thank you Laurie!
