High School English teacher with a Master’s in Teaching from USC specializing in college essay coaching and guiding students to be exemplary readers and writers.

I was Ms.Kerkhoven's co-teacher support in ELA 9. Her ability to focus on a skill, build complexity, and provide scaffolds as needed made her one of the best English teachers I have worked with. Something that makes her teaching feel unique to her is the presence and attention she commands in a room, which makes sense once you get to know her affinity for theatre.

I’ve known Laura since childhood, and I’ve always known her to be incredibly caring, patient, and dedicated. She genuinely cares about her students and their success, and she has such a patient and encouraging way of working with students of all ages. She makes students feel comfortable, supported, and confident, and I know she puts so much thought into helping each student learn in a way that works for them. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful tutor!

I highly recommend Laura! She was my writing coach and helped me a lot with job applications, especially my cover letters. She always gave thoughtful and constructive feedback that made me a better writer. She is highly educated, passionate about teaching, and just an amazing person to work with. You would be lucky to have Laura as your Superprof.
