Jamelyn P. from Libertyville, IL Laurie is a very dependable, excellent, knowledgeable individual. My daughter has been homebound with an illness and she has the patience of a saint. She has encouraged and brought out the best in my daughter. Laurie's versatile knowledge astounds me. She will continue to be my daughter's tutor until my daughter graduates from high school.

Amy K. from Mundelein, IL Laurie has been working with my son who has ADD on bringing up his ACT score. Not only did he bring his score up, but she has given him the confidence he needed to take the test but also gave him the tools to be successful. She is extremely patient, understanding and most of all she is encouraging. He enjoys working with her and looks forward to his sessions. She really knows her stuff when it comes to taking the ACT and she's very insightful. On a scale from 1 to 10, she's a 100!

Kathleen W. from Glenview, IL Laurie is a professional, creative, caring tutor who works very hard for her students. She has a command of learning styles which allows her to work with anyone. Laurie is very open to best teaching practices. My son enjoyed working with her as she met him where he was at academically and gave him enough confidence to challenge himself to move forward. In addition, she went the extra mile, on her own time, to create interesting lessons and bring in effective learning materials. As a former teacher myself, I would highly recommend Laurie for any student.

Judi Z. from Deerfield, IL Laurie worked beautifully with my daughter, providing her with test taking strategies for her first ACT. My daughter went into the test with new-found confidence and knowledge on how to take the test. Laurie analyzed my daughter's PLAN test results and was able to pinpoint the areas that needed tweaking. She was an invaluable resource to us and took away much of my daughter's anxiety as the test date approached.
