Testimonials

“We’re so lucky we found her when we did!”

Lauren is an amazing tutor! Lauren tutored our daughter in honors chemistry this year and we’re so lucky we found her when we did. In just 3 lessons, she helped bring Emily's grade up from a B- (and trending downwards) to a solid B+ by the end of the year. Lauren is engaging and knowledgeable, and always made time for us in her schedule. She is truly invested in our daughter's success as she helped to make Emily feel supported and confident in a subject she was struggling with. We can't recommend her enough!

“She helped me improve my grade from a B to an A in just a few months!”

When I first started tutoring with Lauren, I not only wanted to improve my grade in college-level chemistry, but also solidify my understanding of chemistry concepts and be able to apply them to real-world issues, particularly clinically related topics. Working with Lauren simply once a week gave me the structure I was looking for, as she helped me approach complex topics in an individualized manner while maintaining efficiency and productivity. Over time, I noticed that I was able to connect interrelated topics, such as mathematics and theory, with less discomfort. Lauren is an empathetic teacher who is familiar with the common frustrations and struggles of studying. If I was low on energy or disheartened by the outcome of a test, she listened and adapted to both my academic needs and current headspace. Her encouragement and accountability helped me improve my grade from a B to an A in just a few months! Lauren is a kind and qualified tutor with practical experience in science and, most importantly, eager to help her students succeed!

“Lauren is a rare find!”

Lauren is very passionate about teaching science concepts to her students. My daughter has commented that when she works with Lauren that it’s apparent that she genuinely enjoys tutoring because her personality style is warm, approachable, and patient. Lauren provides clear explanations and thoughtful guidance to help my daughter understand key concepts in chemistry, not just memorize formulas. Before working with Lauren, my daughter would become easily frustrated with chemistry. Now, she feels more confident! Every tutoring session, Lauren provided consistent encouragement and made lessons applicable and enjoyable. Lauren’s lessons helped my daughter maintain consistently strong grades throughout the school year. She is a rare find.
