Lara: Broomfield tutor

Certified Tutor

As a certified teacher with a Bachelor's degree in English and a Master's in Special Education, I bring both subject expertise and specialized training to my work with students. For over three years on the Varsity Tutors platform, I've helped children build confidence and make meaningful progress especially those who struggle with reading disorders like dyslexia. I've developed a customized curriculum to support these learners and have seen strong, lasting results.

In addition to reading and writing, I tutor math through grade 6 and have extensive experience supporting students with ADHD, autism, Down syndrome, and other learning differences. I'm known for my patient, supportive teaching style, but I also hold high expectations and believe that with the right tools and encouragement, every child can succeed.
