Experienced tutor in Mathematics in Santa Clara, Laurie offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

We truly cannot express enough how grateful we are to have found Laurie to be our daughter’s tutor. With her we have the best of both worlds. Laurie is a brilliant instructor, and a very kind individual. She has been infinitely patient in explaining math concepts in a way that they can be easily understood and remembered. We also greatly appreciate the regular updates on her progress and identified areas for improvement. Laurie is always reliable, patient and understanding of life that often throws curveballs on routines and schedules. We have been with Laurie for almost 4 years, she has become so much more than a tutor, she is also a wonderful mentor. Our daughter is thriving and confident under her instruction and now thanks to Laurie she enjoys math!

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!

From our first email, Laurie was professional, kind and knowledgeable. She answered many questions and got to know us before we had even hired her! Covid hit went my daughter was a Kinder, so her reading capabilities were hit hard. Once she was back to in-person school (3rd grade) she was really struggling. Laurie was referred to us when my girl was in 2nd grade, so about 1.5 yrs. had passed before we actually hired her to tutor over her 3rd grade summer. From the first session I knew we made the right decision. My daughter was actually excited about reading, when she never had been before! 2 months with Laurie and she progressed an entire grade level! Not only that, but my daughter didn't want to stop! Laurie ignited a love for reading my daughter never had in just 2 short months! Give Laurie a shot, you won't regret it! She loves what she does and passes on that love for reading to her students!

I am beyond thankful to have found Mrs. Laurie. When I began this journey back in April I was a very concerned parent my daughter had been diagnosed with deslexia and was 1.5 Years behind in reading due to covid and virtual learning. Not only was I able to hire Mrs Laurie for in person 1 on 1 but she helped me feel at ease when i was in a world of Loss. My daughter adores Mrs Laurie and loves seeing her; she has built her own custom learning plan for my child and she has done a fantastic job. My daughters self esteem is coming back and she feels excited to learn again even better in these 4.5 months she is almost on grade level. Mrs Laurie was a blessing in disguise and not only has help my child but also helped me to learn different learning approaches and methods. 5 stars aren't enough she deserves a million!

Laurie has an incredible way of learning how each person learns and communicates. It's almost like she is in your brain and can read your mind. Her flexibility is unwavering. Each person learns differently, and she certainly has the knack to unlock this! A total gift! You would be beyond lucky to hire her.

Laurie has helped our family, via our children through many grade levels, with tremendous patience and insight into what makes students respond in positive, productive ways academically.

She does this by using a growth mindset and through her years of on-the-job experience. She is a confidence booster for our children!

My second grade daughter was challenged by “zoom school” and was home half the week while I worked for the whole 20-21 school year. The hour she was with Laurie was the guaranteed time I knew she was learning, laughing, curious, engaged, and also the only slam dunk for getting homework done.



The majority of the skills she learned during second grade were during her 1:1 tutoring sessions. She makes learning fun! I can’t recommend her enough!

Laurie began tutoring my grandson during distance learning and continued when his school was on a hybrid schedule. Laurie's experience and talent as a classroom educator—including knowing the importance of a child's social and emotional development—was apparent from early on. She made learning fun for my grandson.
Even during the summer break, my grandson was disappointed if he had to miss a tutoring session. Laurie's tutoring made it so that my grandson not only enjoys reading and math more than ever, but he's now two or three grade levels ahead.
I highly recommend Laurie as a tutor. Teaching and tutoring is clearly her calling.
