A LITTLE ABOUT LAURA:

I just finished my 21st year of homeschooling. I earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering from San Jose State University. I have spent much of the past 30 years teaching and tutoring.  I am passionate about helping students to see our great God’s hand in all of His creation, including Math and Science principles. I find it especially delightful to see a student’s eyes light up with one of those “aha!” moments, when a difficult concept finally clicks. I am also available to parents, to help them learn to better teach their students.
