About

My name is Lauri. I will work with you one-on-one through Skype or in person. I use brain-research-based teaching methods. I use examples from children's real lives, so they can see how it works. I encourage and laugh a lot. I see mistakes as learning tools, and nothing to be afraid of. I love the 'aha' moment when the material makes sense for the student! That's when I know I am no longer needed. That is MY goal: to make you an independent learner. I want to make a difference in each person's life - and I plan to do that without milking you for money. That is not my goal.

She is one of the best tutors you will ever select. She has made and continues to make the greatest difference in my daughters math. My daughter has used her for years. She takes a personal interest in your child’s studies. You will not find a better tutor.

Lauri Barber is an EXCELLENT tutor! She was able to break the math formulas down in ways my 8th grade daughter could understand. My daughter's grades improved drastically and she enjoyed working with Ms. Barber. and thanks to Ms. Barber she passed her end of the year exams. Thank you for your time and patience. You truly have a wonderful spirit. Many blessings to you and your family.

As an adult learner, working with Lauri Barber is a breath of fresh air, especially given my lifelong trepidation toward math. In our tutoring sessions, she's shown not only a strong competence in communicating how the pure math is done, but also an unusual flexibility in helping me think through the various ways to make it make sense to me in particular. Too many tutors are strong only in knowing the content of their subject, but Lauri Barber is also very adept at working with the individual's needs and in communicating in a way normal people can understand!

We have been with Ms Lauri for over a year now. She has been a blessing to me and my kids. I'm a wife, a mother, and a returning student and Math has always been difficult. Ms. Lauri is a sensitive tutor and individualize her teaching to meet the need of the student. My 16 and 11 year old love working with her. Together as a family we are tackling Math with more confidence.
