Lauren: Belfast tutor
Certified Tutor
I consider myself an advocate for young voices, connecting students with books they want to read and helping them advance their skills as writers.
My experience teaching sixth-grade ELA, providing academic support for students in grades 7-9, and coaching English language learners, fits well with my previous career as a mental health professional. I bring an elevated level of awareness and empathy to an online classroom.
Effective tutoring is a mix of providing students with the right balance of inspiration while supporting their current academic needs. I enjoy helping students and families determine a course that is best for them.

I am a lifelong learner passionate about reading, writing, and developing professionally. I enjoy the outdoor recreation opportunities available in my mountainous home community: hiking, cycling, kayaking, and cross-country skiing. I’ve worked as a freelance writer, publishing creative nonfiction and informational articles throughout my life. I ran a successful fused glass jewelry business for a dozen years, and I took up knitting in 2002. I’ve paired my grant-writing skills with a number of personal and volunteer projects over the years to advance funding for mental health and arts education.
