Lorrie S. from Monroeville, PA Laura C. impressed me with her thoughtful response to our inquiry for a math tutor. It's clear that she is an experienced tutor from her approach in presenting a tutoring plan based on the student's needs, which includes insight and use of current teaching materials. I very much appreciate the fact that she tries to understand my student's strengths, with the goal of mastering the subject matter, as well as improving confidence level!

Michael T. from Greensburg, PA I was given the confidence to finally pass my GED. I never did well in school because I needed more help than my teachers could give. For a lot of reasons, I quit. Now I am going onto the next step and I feel better about myself. Thank you, I couldn't have done it without you.

Eva F. from Irwin, PA I was very fortunate to have found Laura to tutor my son. He must pass a business calculus course at Pitt in order to graduate. She provides the expertise, mathematical knowledge, and patience to instruct him. She works many hours preparing every detail of his complicated lessons. She is always extremely organized,punctual and very conscientious. She diligently reports what she has accomplished during each instructional tutoring session. She is very mathematically gifted and has the ability to explain complicated concepts with ease. My son feels very comfortable working with her. He is gaining the confidence and mathematical knowledge he was lacking and has earned very high scores on the tests given so far. I am extremely pleased with her tutoring skills. I would highly recommend her.

Tina B. from Greensburg, PA Laura has been a great asset in my children's academics. Originally she was tutoring my daughter in ACT prep and calculus. When my son began having issues with honors geometry we sent him to Laura as well. She has been amazing with both of them. Definitely goes above and beyond. Not only does she spend the one on one time with them but keeps herself well prepared in what material each is working on. We will definitely continue to use her as a tutor even throughout their college years if necessary. Definitely highly recommend.

Chuck L. from Greensburg, PA Our daughter struggled through Algebra II last year, so we enrolled her in a learning center. Her grades only improved slightly. The center was not convenient and lacked individual attention. This year we chose Laura as her tutor for College Algebra/Trigonometry. We've seen an improvement of almost two letter grades. We are very pleased with her progress as she needed to pass the course to graduate next year. Laura is dependable, well prepared, and always positive!

Laura P. from Pittsburgh, PA We were very fortunate to have Laura as our son's Chemistry 2 tutor. She prepared worksheets, went over topics with him that would be covered in class and had him make flashcards, to help him study after the session. She showed great professionalism and enthusiasm for her work in her reviews. She also met with him on his campus since he did have transportation. I would highly recommend Laura as a tutor and may use her in the future if needed.

Kindall S. from Mckeesport, PA Laura is the most wonderfully patient person I know. She guides me with her knowledge in a way that makes me understand Chemistry. She thinks outside the box and isn't afraid to admit and to locate answers that she doesn't understand herself. We actually have a good time learning. Thanks Laura, you are the bomb.

Abigail E. from Donegal, PA I went to Laura to prepare for my second time taking the SAT. We met and went over math concepts and when I look the SAT my score increased from 1910 to 2040.

Shanley E. from Delmont, PA I hired Laura as a tutor for my daughter who was taking college level general chemistry. I can't say enough good things about her. She was able to break down the material into understandable concepts. Laura was available at all times; day and night. She was willing to tutor on the 4th of July, Sunday nights, mornings at 8am and was willing to tutor at a variety of locations, including Barnes and Nobles, the Greensburg library, and Westmoreland County Community College. She even tutored once while she was ill and on antibiotics. She was always prepared with work sheets and practice tests and tried to stay one step ahead of the teacher. Laura was a real gem with a genuine desire to see my daughter succeed. I would highly recommend her to anyone struggling with chemistry.

Rachel Z. from Greensburg, PA My son has been working with Laura for just over 6 months and it has been a fantastic experience! She is very knowledgeable, patient, and skilled. She has helped my son bring up his grade and maintain it to an acceptable level. I can not imagine not having Laura around; her teaching is outstanding.

Carol K. from Uniontown, PA Laura is helping my daughter focus on the upcoming SAT test and college prep. She is teaching her techniques for the test and this gives my daughter the tools to approach it with confidence.

Kim B. from Belle Vernon, PA My daughter was struggling with her high school Anatomy class, so we contacted WyzAnt to help us locate a tutor. Laura responded promptly and has continued to deliver in every aspect! Laura was able to schedule a short notice tutoring session, she is always on time and comes to the session very well prepared. Laura was able to connect with my daughter quickly, is knowledgeable and teaches the material in a way that is easy to understand. In only 3 sessions, my daughter has brought her grade up two levels! We have never needed a tutor, so we went into this very skeptical. Our experience has been extraordinarily positive and we highly recommend both Laura and Wyzant to anyone needing a tutor.

Natalie D. from Irwin, PA My son had his first session with Laura yesterday 03/22/2013. As we walked out, he said to me, "Mom, she explained it in a way that just made sense. I completely get it." That meant the world to me b/c he has been struggling all year and not getting it. For the first time, I saw an excitement in him because he actually understood what he was doing! Thanks so much Laura. He is excited to come back to tutoring which is half the battle.

Jennifer C. from Herminie, PA My experience has been wonderful. Laura C has a lot of qualities that make her an awesome tutor. As a result of her patience and kindness and strong knowledge of how kids learn, we are getting fabulous results. My daughter's grades have gone up but most importantly she tackles her math homework and tests with greater confidence. This cuts our math homework time in half. She now approaches her homework with a more positive outlook. I have recommended Laura to my friends and will continue to do so. I am very thrilled with my experience with Laura C. Thank you Laura.

Jeanine V. from Greensburg, PA My son needed tutoring for an AP Physics test. Upon very short notice, Laura agreed to tutor him. We sent her the review packet and she stayed up very late the night before preparing herself so she was sure that she could teach him how to do the problems. Thanks so much!

Elizabeth B. from Ligonier, PA I found WyzAnt Tutoring online on Saturday and Laura met with my son on Sunday. Laura had spent several hours on Saturday evening getting prepared to meet with my son regarding the material he was working on. I am so impressed by Laura's tutoring and will be telling my friends about her. My son came home from the tutoring session back on top of his "game" and I could see the relief on his face when he walked through the door. I asked him to give me feedback about Laura. He told me she was very prepared, patient, nice and knowledgeable. I asked him if he would like to work with her again if he is having trouble. His response was "ABSOLUTELY!" To me that says it all! I will definitely be contacting her again when we need a tutor!

Lisa Z. from Harrison City, PA Nicole has told me that after lessons with Laura, she has really been able to help her improve her SAT reading sections by giving her very helpful suggestions on how to attack the problems.

Lisa V. from Laughlintown, PA Laura is amazing! My son immediately connected with her on our first visit. She is patient and kind and takes time to listen to him even when unrelated to his school work, yet keeps him focused and on task. His Algebra IA grade has gone from a "D" to a "B" and will probably become an "A" as his test taking skills improve. Laura is very intelligent and knows what to do to engage the kids. She also goes out of her way to make sure she has a copy of their current books and has worksheets to correlate with their current lessons. She is also easy to reach, and she usually can fit my son in after school within a day or two and sometimes even the same day. Laura has been a true gift and has eased my son's anxiety and given him confidence. I highly recommend her.

Cindy C. from Jeannette, PA Laura is a very kind and patient tutor. My daughter has learned so many things about SAT math strategies. Thank you so much, Laura.

Becky J. from Irwin, PA Laura is the best tutor you could ask for. She prepares extensively for each lesson, provides clear information and does well with teenagers. She is easy to work with and very knowledgeable about math. My son needed extensive tutoring in Calculus 2, which is a very difficult subject. Laura provided better instruction than his professor and we will not hesitate to use her again in the future.
