It was extremely hard to find someone our child felt comfortable starting this journey with, and Laura has truly been a perfect fit.
Laura’s support has provided me with foundational techniques to actively learn, understand, and recall complex concepts in neuroscience. During each of our one-on-one services she provided me with a personalized study plan that assured me that I would leave the session with a clear, confident understanding of the material. Laura has the ability to remain patient while explaining complex concepts in a clear and engaging way. While highlighting my strengths, Laura also provided me with tailored guidance on areas I struggled. I saw a significant improvement in my grades and continue to retain the material I have learned with her, ensuring that she has set me up for success. Whether it is preparing for an exam, approaching an assignment, or simply learning more about complex material, I highly recommend Laura’s service to anyone looking to thrive in their studies!
