Laurie S. from Middleton, MA

This was our first experience using WyzAnt and a tutor. Laura was the perfect fit for my son. She is patient and extremely smart. She had the ability to boost his vocabulary confidence tremendously and encourage him in such a positive manor. He was so eager to see her each week and review and learn new words and SSAT strategies. I cannot thank her enough and I hope to work with her again in the future.


Gail M. from Tewksbury, MA

My daughter has learned from Laura the skills needed to achieve success for her future. She never complains about going to see Laura; instead she always says in the car on the ride home that "The two hours flew by." Laura is a professional tutor who not only strives for excellence in her students, but also strives for success in her lessons as well. Could not be happier with our choice.


Jeff K. from Anderson, SC

Laura C. met with our son over the course of several weeks, with a view to helping him finalize English, history, and philosophy papers in a timely manner for his classes. Their meetings were beneficial for him, helping him to focus, to organize his thoughts and express them clearly and effectively, and to complete his papers on time. Laura went beyond the call of duty, reviewing our son's syllabus and assignments to determine how best to meet requirements, diligently reading the materials about which he was writing in order to help him synthesize his ideas, and accommodating his unpredictable schedule. Her tutoring strategies are intelligent and clear: she provided outlines of different types of academic papers and helped our son determine which approach was required for a given assignment. Her reports to us on their meetings were well considered and encouraging. We are grateful to Laura for her work with our son. She is an excellent and very responsible tutor.


Rani C. from North Andover, MA

Laura brought in some sample work that we went over and how to work with the tricky multiple choice questions. After I have my essays done I will send them to her.


Emily W. from North Andover, MA

She is very helpful with vocabulary, reading and comprehension tips. She has recommended great books for my daughter for pleasure reading, who is a reluctant reader. Very pleased.


Gail K. from Middleton, MA

After my daughter’s first session with Laura, she felt more confident and had several ah-ha moments on that first day! Working with Laura, my daughter knew that Laura’s tutoring would help her not only on the ACT test, but also in her daily classes! My daughter has always struggled with writing & reading. Over the past year, a light switch was turned on and her skills had improved. The work that she did with Laura, adjusted the brightness on that dimmer switch! During the tutoring sessions Laura focused on points that my daughter missed in class. My daughter enjoyed her learning time with Laura, which she doesn’t say too often for a girl who went to ‘school’ in the summer! Personally, I loved the session updates! Being tutored for a whole summer could have been grueling but Laura made each session meaningful & the assignments manageable. Bottom line, my daughter’s ACT scores in Writing improved 5 points & Reading improved 4 points – Outstanding!


Na L. from Lawrence, MA

Laura seems to be very knowledgable and with quite a few tips/tools to help my daughter. We are very glad that my daughter has her as the tutor. Looking forward to the future sessions.


Subathira A. from Andover, MA

She is a great teacher and is always prepared for class. My kids love her teaching. We are glad we found her.
