About

I’ve been tutoring for over 18 years, specializing in reading and writing for students of all ages. As a native English speaker, I also work with non-native speakers to build vocabulary, improve conversational skills, and gain confidence using English in everyday life. I’ve helped many students raise their grades, strengthen their writing, and develop self-confidence in the classroom and beyond. I offer reasonable rates and am happy to provide references upon request. If you’re looking for personalized support in reading, writing, or ESL, I’d love to talk about how I can help.

Hired on Thumbtack

Thumbtack only allows three highlights out of five. Huh? Laurie Woods deserves all five, so I’m adding them here, Responsiveness and Punctuality. In addition I will also submit that she is Personable, Intelligent, Humorous, Understanding, Empathic, and Humorous (yes, 2x)! If you need an ESL tutor you need to give Laurie a call. You will be glad you did.

Ms Laurie was an absolute lifesaver for my daughter after Covid. She had been struggling significantly with paying attention and falling behind, and other teachers had even labeled her as having 'attention difficulties.' Ms. Laurie not only helped her catch up but also completely transformed her engagement and focus. Their ability to connect with students online and keep them captivated is truly remarkable. We are incredibly grateful.
