It’s our new (roughly) monthly feature: turning the spotlight one at a time on the many wonderful members of Executive Moms…

Member Spotlight: Laurie Marvald

What’s Your One Line Career Description?
I’m an entrepreneur and creator of the NYC Teacher/Tutor Resource Group.

What’s Your More Than One Line Career Description?
After many years in the NYC School System, it seemed clear that I had the connections and resources to create a fantastic group for finding the right tutor for each student. It’s essential for students to feel confidence to thrive. Through my 15 years of navigating the NYC Schools I have gathered the most amazing teachers, as well as professionals and outstanding college students to work with students. I work with each parent and participate in creating each relationship to find what is best for each family, drawing role models, mentors and academic coaches — people who care about education and get great satisfaction from working with our children, one on one.

Fast Family Facts:
My husband and I are from New York, as are our parents and grandparents. We have 3 boys: one in his freshman year at Columbia, one who is a 9th grader and one a 6th grader.

One More Piece of Trivia About You:
While I run my own tutoring resource company now, I am an architect by education. I’ve worked as a designer in theater that led to years as a producer. I also worked as a freelance segment producer for NBC News… and I manage my children’s careers as performers as well.
