About
Hi! I'm Laura and I'd love to help you with your math!! I am an engineer by degree (BSME, Michigan Technological University, MSCE National Technological University), but after I had my children, I rea... lly developed my passion for teaching! I started my journey by agreeing to teach high school math in the small private school they were attending. After four years, I decided to put all my energy into my own children and homeschooled them through high school. I then returned to teaching, but in an one-on-one environment. I have taught custom pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus courses. I love the challenge of helping each student learn the material in a way that works best for each individual!
I am also a ACT/SAT math and science specialist. I have been very successful helping students reach their goal scores on these tests.
I recently moved to Gulf Breeze, Florida where I am enjoying the sunshine and playing golf!read more
