Meet the Owner

We’re Mark and Laura Ayasse, and we’ve lived in southeastern Massachusetts for more than 30 years. This is where we raised our family, and the families who come to us are our neighbors. Some of our favorite days are spent doing STEM presentations and hands-on projects in local schools, YMCAs, and other spots around the area.

Laura’s path into education started in chemistry research at MIT. After staying home to raise our kids, she went back to her original dream of teaching. She worked as a paraprofessional in local schools while earning her master’s degree and teaching certification, then taught chemistry for nearly 20 years. She knows what today’s classrooms ask of students, and she’s seen firsthand how differently young people learn.

Mark’s career was in software development, technical consulting, and training. Much of that work came down to explaining hard ideas and helping people build the skills and confidence to move forward. Along the way, he learned that knowing the material is only half of it. Listening matters just as much.

We started Tutor Doctor because it lets us bring those two paths together for the community we call home. We’ve both seen what happens when a student gets the right support at the right time.

When you reach out, we’ll start by listening: to your concerns and to what makes your student tick. From there, we’ll work with you to find the right tutor and the right plan, and we’ll stay in your corner as your student grows in skill and confidence.

We’d love to hear about your student. Contact us for a free consultation.
