Marsha F. says, "I found Laurie giving 110% in her preparation for the needs of each students. She would evaluate each child to discover their specific needs and designed their program to meet those needs. Her connection with her students was exceptional, She made it her business to meet their personal needs no matter where they fell, academically, socially, or physically. I found Laurie to be a teacher who has expertise in so many areas. She has high level skills in language development, in writing and research skills and of course basic fundamental skills just to name a few. I found her ability to communicate with her students at level we all strive to be. She is an amazing teacher. One we all strive to be."See more

My first student was my severely dyslexic sister who was in 8th grade reading at 1st grade level. For years teachers told me she needed to read more and she was eventually catch up. Nothing worked until I found the Orton-Gillingham method. Not only is she able to read now but she is addicted to a series of novels! I am trained and certified in the Barton System which one of the most comprehensive Orton-Gillingham based programs. The Orton-Gillingham method is the golden standard in teaching reading to children and adults with dyslexia. I have taken Lindamood-Bell's Lips training workshop on phonemic awareness for my most severely dyslexic students. I have also taken Susan Barton's 6-day graduate level Screening for Dyslexia seminar. In addition to my O.G.-based training, I have taken countless Linguistics and Structured Word Inquiry courses to expose my students to a scientific approach to orthography. Every word has a story and meaningful reasons for the way it is spelled, even so-called "sight words!" Using SWI, students use critical thinking, expand their vocabulary, and improve reading comprehension. Signs of Dyslexia: - Terrible spelling (Number 1 sign of Dyslexia) - Unable to sound out unknown words or nonsense words - Unable to retain spelling words from spelling tests - Slow choppy reading - Relies on context clues when reading - Makes guesses when reading I tutor all students (ages 6 to adult) online using a screen sharing software. My hourly rate applies to 55-minute sessions. I look forward to hearing from you!See more

Akash G. says, "I have been practicing my American accent with Prof. Alex for 2 months, and Prof. Alex and his American accent program are exceptional! It is based on a scientific approach to learning how to speak each individual American sound in a variety of drills that Prof. Alex provides. What I like the most is the 2D sound motions, where I can see how I have to move my tongue and speech organs to pronounce American sounds correctly! It gives me the opportunity to understand how American sounds are different from my native language and finally practice them correctly under the supervision of Prof. Alex, who gives absolutely honest, detailed feedback. That’s what I always wanted to get. He doesn’t cuddle me in our sessions and really puts my speaking drills to work. I love working with Prof. Alex because he is professional, innovative, and exceptional, and truly cares about my success. This program has its own app called InPronunci, and Alex gives me a lot of homework in that app. The benefit of InPronunci is that it has an AI accent coach that works like Prof. Alex in our sessions and helps me catch my mistakes. It is a super useful tool when I am not in a session with Prof. Alex. I am very thankful to Prof. Alex. I wish I had him when I learned English at school!"See more
