I have a passion for French as well as a passion for teaching. So why not combine the two things I love to do?! After studying French for 6 years in school, I went on to major in it at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. My junior year was spent at the Universit? de Nice in France. After graduating, I worked in Brussels, Belgium as a Trainee for the European Commission. And my subsequent 8 year employment at an international organization in D.C. allowed me to continue utilizing my F…

Barrie M. from Fairfax, VA Laurie really connected with my daughter. She is worth every penny. I highly recommend her to tutor any age. Keep up the good work!
Jessie W. from Centreville, VA Today was my first lesson with Laurie K. I believe this review will not do her justice as there is much potential in this tutor/student relationship. Today was assessment day. I feel more confident to know where my strengths and weaknesses are and to build on them for the future. The assessment was a 50 question online quiz which was right at my level. It was immediately graded. Laurie went over not just what was incorrect, but the ones I guessed correctly as well. I learned just from the mistakes I made. I asked questions, she had the answers. This quiz gave a good bases for some instruction as well. I am very pleased by this tool. I gave her 4 stars because it was a very good beginning and excellent 5 star lessons, I sense, will be had in the future. Patient, Considerate, Timely, Organized, Knowledgeable, Competent and Very Likeable are all my first impressions from Laurie K. Thank you Laurie, I am looking forward to my next instruction. Review # 2 a month later: I am an older student that has returned to school. After trying Basic French class and being unsatisfied with the level of progress, as well as being confused and disheartened. I decided to seeked Mme Laurie's instruction. After one lesson I was confident in her ability to ready myself for College French. I dropped Basic French 101 after 6 weeks into the course and I wished I did so sooner. I can't believe it has been a month since I started with her. I have progressed so much further than 6 weeks in a 2.5 hour twice a week class and far more homework than Mme Laurie provides. She provides just the right amount, not overwhelming but enough to solidify what I learned in the tutoring session. Mme Laurie is a delight. Her eyes sparkle when she teaches and always greets me with a smile. I look forward to my instruction, we always laugh. Speaking French does not feel unattainable. It really feels easy with her leading the way. Mme Laurie always makes sure I am speaking, writing and listening. Plenty of quizzes and end of Chapter tests which I asked for. She really wanted to know how I learn best. I like pop quizzes and she listened and she provides. Thank you Laurie. I appreciate you very much! Bonsoir.
Linda M. from Burke, VA Laurie's been great for my daughter. Laurie is very positive, pleasant to work with, and brings a lot of creative ways to help my daughter learn French, from her white board to songs for learning verbs. My daughter loves her.
Gowri V. from Fairfax, VA Laurie is very nice and we are very glad to have her for tutoring French 2 for my daughter. She works very closely with the student needs and customizes each class as per the needs. She is an excellent French tutor.
Phillip A. from Vienna, VA Laurie helped our daughter review and maintain her French. She wrote of Laurie, "She is very kind and she makes sure to get to know you. She moves at a pace that is best for you, and makes sure you understand each concept. She also makes sure to test you on each unit, and goes back over old stuff so that it sticks in your memory." We were very pleased with the results!
Pamela M. from Fairfax, VA We have had many tutors, varying from music, languages, academics etc. But after two lessons, without a doubt Ms. Laurie is by far the best. She is highly professional, and our daughter responds to her style of teaching with enthusiasm. I would highly recommend her.
