Our Tutors

Lauren graduated Cum Laude from Duke University with a B.A. in Environmental Science & Policy and Cultural Anthropology. She was also a member of Duke's highly selective Alice M. Baldwin Scholars women’s leadership program. During her time at Duke, she engaged in numerous teaching experiences like tutoring for America Reads, America Counts, co-creating and teaching a course titled "Empowering Women at Duke and Beyond," helping run a conservation camp through Duke Engage, and conducting climate change workshops for the Quebec-Labrador Foundation. Lauren is from Plainfield, New Hampshire, and has a passion for the environment that stems from growing up in a rural area and working at Edgewater Farm. In college, she was able to explore the academic side of environmental issues through professional research and writing. She conducted research and wrote policy briefs for the Nicholas School of the Environment, Duke SciPol, the Sabin Center for Climate Change Policy at Columbia University, and the Jane Goodall Institute. After graduation, Lauren decided to combine her love for the environment and teaching. She taught about gardening and healthy food during her AmeriCorps service term in Ronan, Montana. After her service term, she remained at the school to teach 4th-grade. Lauren also has significant experience teaching middle school science. Lauren is enthusiastic about the intersection of STEM and humanities and believes that all children should have a holistic and thoughtful understanding of both. She is excited to be at STEM Club and hopes to foster students' curiosity for all subjects. At NYC STEM Club, Lauren teaches elementary and middle school Math, and elementary English and Language Arts.
