Laura: Plantation tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of George Washington University, Washington, DC where I received a Master of Education with a specialty in teaching English as a Second Language. I have taught English for over 30 years at the elementary level to university level, in public schools and online. My last position was as Senior Language Instructor at a university in the Middle East. There I taught grammar, reading, writing, speaking and listening to students with varying abilities. I've also taught ELA to students from grade 2 to 12. Grammar is my passion, as I believe it is the foundation of any language. If you know grammar, you can write and speak well. I like working with students one on one or in small groups so that I can devote more attention to each student. I'm also a published author of Revered and Reviled: The Complete History of the Domestic Cat.
