Laura Silvestro
About
I specialize in bringing students up to grade level and beyond in English phonics, grammar, vocabulary, writing, spelling and reading comprehension. I also tutor basic math, pre-algebra, and algebra. I offer tutoring in study skills at all grade levels. My students range in age from kindergarten through high school.
Instilling knowledge and confidence in a student's ability to master reading, writing, or math skills is my main focus. I have a large collection of materials to choose from to tailor a specific program for each child. I have had a successful tutoring business for the past 15 years.

I'm so glad to meet Laura. She is a fantastic teacher. She was patient, strived to teach me, and helped me to improve my English. She made me feel very comfortable during our classes. I appreciate the attention that she gave me.

Laura continues to meet with the student and has a great rapport with him. He looks forward to their sessions and is excited about learning-- something he has not felt in years!

I really have to thank you Ms. Laura because you had helped me catch up and improve my English skill since I came to the United States 3 years ago in 8th grade, and now I can speak fluent English and write many good essays. Without your help, I can't progress that much in these several years. You are one of the most important teachers who influenced my life. I am really lucky to have a teacher like you!

Laura has tutored my two boys writing/reading in the summer and during the school year for about 3 yrs now. She's a wonderful tutor; always on time, organized, very patient and attentive with the students, and most importantly, knowledgeable in her subjects. She shows up with teaching materials, gives them lessons and corrects their work. Periodically she gives me feedback on their progress. My boys have done very well in school, and enjoy writing. One additional note, my boys tell me that her phone never rings during lesson, she turns it off so there'll be no interruption during lesson. That impresses me.
