"I have worked with other writing tutors in the past, but I can confidently say Laurie has been the best.
She enjoys teaching and gives you help in the areas where you need help. I have learned so much about writing. I have discovered Shakespeare, something I never really thought to read before. I have also learned to create a stronger essay, by adding more detail and getting rid of repetition. I was given the chance to learn new vocabulary words which I can now use in my everyday language. So, thank you for all of the skills I now have.” - Alex G., age 14, North Haven, CT
"In the months you have been working with our French
engineering manager there has been
a noticeable improvement in his communication skills.
He displays more confidence
now in both formal and informal conversation
and I believe this has helped
him to integrate more easily in social settings as well.
It is important to us that our expats feel comfortable
in their new environment
and you have helped us with this transition."
- Janice Martin, HR Mgr., Radiall USA (New Haven)
"Laurie has been my ESL tutor for four months. During this time I have really improved my English with her. She will teach you what you need to know in order to improve grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, reading and writing.
Laurie is an excellent and very professional teacher and very kind. You will never have problems with her because she'll make English easy for you.
I recommend her highly."
- Maru Rivero, New Haven, (from Seville, Spain)
" Since our first lesson, Laurie has been able to focus on my weaknesses, making the most of each of our appointments. She has been tutoring me for just one month and a half, but I already feel much more confident in my communication and understanding skills, which is exactly what I was looking for when I started with her.
Furthermore, the lessons are very enjoyable and entertaining, so you can both have fun and learn English at the same time!"
- Cris Fernandez Cespedes (from Oviedo, Spain)
Laurie Wiegler is more than just a tutor. In my opinion, tutors help students study what they seem to not be understanding from their teachers. Laurie is an educator. She will not only help you with what you are failing to understand, you will learn more things with her. She's also a mentor. She is someone a young child can not only learn English and writing skills from, but life lessons we learn through conversation with wise people. If she's your tutor and you're above age 18, she'll also become your friend. She is someone who not only lives to change and touch the lives around her through her writings and lively experience, but she is someone who enjoys it! People have jobs all the time to just make money. She enjoys educating and so you'll truly benefit from her services. She was my tutor starting around the age 5/6, and to this day at the age of 20, she is still teaching me and showing me it's possible to live your dreams even if its amongst nightmares we face in life. Hire Laurie to be your tutor, you won't regret it.
