I recently moved to Salt Lake City after spending the last two years as a scientific researcher at the University of California, Berkeley. I have experience teaching and tutoring basic as well as complex scientific subjects. I am a trained engineer, with a M.S. from UC Berkeley, and a B.S. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
At UC Berkeley I taught an introductory fluid mechanics course, for which I obtained outstanding student reviews. In th…

Jennifer N. from Berkeley, CA Laura brings clarity to complex math and engineering subjects by building on basic concepts and thinking creatively about how to explain concepts with words, equations, drawings and even descriptive imagery. She's often saying things like "Imagine that you are a fluid particle..." and then starts drawing beautiful diagrams (she's multi-talented!). Her note-taking style is so readable, clear and digestible, a model that I've tried to follow because it brings such clarity when applying multiple equations to solve problems. All these tools help me understand the concepts, apply them in my work and ultimately remember them for exams and research. Her warm personality makes me comfortable enough to admit when I don't understand and not get stressed as I struggle to think through the next steps. She's such an outstanding tutor and an engaging person, I highly recommend her to students of any age. She'd be a very fun math and science tutor for kids as she's full of energy, creative on-the-fly approaches and very patient at the same time.
Alex R. from Berkeley, CA I highly recommend Laura as a tutor, she is extremely helpful and patient. She is very knowledgeable in the field of water chemistry, soil physics and hydrology. She is really good about walking you through all the steps necessary, not only to solve the problem but to truly understand the process and reasoning behind the equations. Laura encourages you to think about how to set up the problem and then walks you through it. Additionally, she is not only bright but also is fluent in Spanish. I enjoyed having her as my tutor because she is very passionate about the field.
Sheila R. from Berkeley, CA Laura is great! She is super knowledgeable and very helpful. She can explain concepts in MATLAB very clearly and is very patient.
Sonia T. from Richmond, CA Great tutor, good time management and a skilled teacher. Very quick to understand my tutoring needs, knowledgeable, and patient in explaining concepts until I understood. Cheerfully cleared up my confusion over some complex concepts and also helped with maths aspects - very helpful! Highly recommended.
Ellis K. from Berkeley, CA Laura is an excellent tutor. She is helping me with MATLAB programming, and she is very knowledgeable in the subject. She's also very flexible - willing to work on problem sets or go over fundamental MATLAB concepts and techniques. Between sessions, she makes sure that she is still reachable over email for any further questions. It's an absolute pleasure working with her and I feel more confident about my programming abilities.
