Laura: Melrose Park tutor

Certified Tutor

With over two decades of experience in education and a Master's degree in Education, I have dedicated my career to fostering a love of learning, building inclusive classrooms, and supporting the holistic development of every student. Throughout these years, I have embraced the evolving landscape of education, continually refining my teaching strategies to meet the diverse needs of learners in an ever-changing world.

My teaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that every child has the potential to succeed when given the right tools, encouragement, and environment. I take pride in creating a classroom culture that is respectful, engaging, and responsive to individual strengths and challenges. Whether working with early learners or more advanced students, I aim to cultivate curiosity, resilience, and critical thinking.

In addition to teaching, I have successfully supervised a team of 20 teachers as a Regional Coordinator. I've written and was granted educational technology grants compiling over $20,000. In addition, I plan to continue my own education and growth by staying involved in the teaching field and mentoring activities of students and other teachers.
