Laura Dockery
Writing and Study Skills Tutor
Laura found her passion for teaching and tutoring in a second career, following 25+ years in marketing communications. She began coaching 11th and 12th graders on their college entrance essays, then joined Teach for America and taught tenth grade English in Oklahoma City until COVID hit in 2020. She returned to the Twin Cities and began teaching/tutoring in study and writing skills. She developed summer refresher courses in both for The Blake School, and has taught English to ELL students through Independent School District 271. Laura’s philosophy on tutoring is to be a side-by-side coach helping each student find their strengths and build their confidence, then introducing skills to create a solid framework for repeated use.
Laura enjoys time with her family while also XC skiing, swimming, and playing pickleball. She also writes for Medium.com.
