I have 16 years experience as a college chemistry professor, with a MS from the University of Notre Dame. I have taught General Chemistry I and II, as well as organic chemistry lab and forensic science on a regular basis. I have also worked as a private tutor for 20 years to students ranging from middle school through college to students of all ability levels. I love tutoring because it allows me to really connect with an individual student while helping them achieve subject mastery.

"Laura is a wonderful tutor. She has gotten my daughter to like chemistry. Prior to my daughter getting tutored by Laura she was very frustrated with chemistry and was struggling in class. Laura has helped her immensely. My daughter has an A in the class now and is more confident. I highly recommend Laura!

I have been playing tennis all of my life, and have played pickleball for the past 2 years. I am ready to get you up to tournament level.

Every session I combine technical rigor with a warm, encouraging approach to help athletes develop skill and confidence. I have taught baseball for several years, specializing in hitting mechanics, defensive fundamentals, and game-sense development to help players reach their potential.

Igniting a love for the game is my mission. While relatively new to teaching, my deep understanding of pickleball strategy and technique allows me to effectively guide players of all levels. I'm dedicated to fostering a fun, supportive learning environment where you can reach your full potential.

Whether you're learning your first dink or chasing your next DUPR goal, I combine high energy coaching, strategic instruction, and a fun learning environment to help players improve faster, compete smarter, and enjoy the game more.

"I’ve worked with Alicia Reed and what sets her apart isn’t just that she’s a great player, it’s that she’s an exceptional teacher. Coaching is a completely different skill set than playing, and Alicia truly excels at it. She doesn’t just feed balls and say “good shot.” She actually sees what you’re doing, explains why it isn’t working, and shows you how to fix it. She pays attention to paddle position, footwork, timing, and mechanics, and she makes corrections in real time. She doesn’t stop for long speeches or overcomplicate things. She shows you what to do, has you do it immediately, and keeps you engaged the entire lesson. What I appreciate most is that if something isn’t clicking, she finds another way to teach it. She has a gift for breaking things down in a way that makes sense and helping you feel the difference right away. In a short amount of time, Alicia helped me go from a 2.8 to a 3.5 player. Her years of coaching experience really show. Being a great player and being a great coach are two different things, and Alicia is an excellent coach. If you’re looking for someone who can truly develop your game and help you improve, I highly recommend her.

I competed as a sprinter for the University of Pennsylvania Men’s Track & Field team, where I developed a strong foundation in sprint mechanics, race strategy, and high-performance training. Following my collegiate career, I transitioned into coaching and have worked with athletes at both the high school and middle school levels. I coached at University City High School in Philadelphia and currently coach at Cantwell Middle School in Middletown, DE. In addition, I spent three years as an ACE-certified personal trainer at Philadelphia Sports Club, where I gained experience in strength, conditioning, and injury prevention—skills I incorporate into my coaching to help athletes improve performance safely and effectively. My coaching focuses on developing proper technique, building speed and confidence, and helping athletes understand how to train and compete effectively.
