I've been teaching for over twenty-three years. I'm British, a photographer living in France, and I really like to help people who are learning English to achieve the best they can.
Me as a Teacher
One of the biggest hurdles to learning is low confidence. I offer patient, well-paced, appropriate teaching to students that seeks to raise confidence, and motivates great conversation. Over twenty years I've gained a strong reputation for quality online teaching, and a high professional standard of delivery and support.
My lessons & teaching style
Lessons are typically discussion-based (free talk), and offer points of grammar, and discuss idioms. We'll read, talk, and listen, together. My teaching adapts to the needs of the student.

AMAZING teacher. I've tried different English teachers on Italki, and Laurence is, without the shadow of a doubt, the best I've encountered so far.
Is agreeable and very knowledgeable, and is always able to come up with high level conversations or articles to read and to comment about.
Absolutely suggested, you won't be disappointed!

This English teacher's teaching style and approach truly stand out as exceptional. From the very first class, it was evident that their dedication to fostering a strong grasp of the language was unwavering. Their lectures were not just informative, but also engaging and interactive, which made learning a delightful experience.
One of the teacher's strengths lies in their ability to explain complex grammar concepts in a clear and concise manner. They skillfully broke down intricate rules into manageable components, making it easier for students to understand and apply. Moreover, their incorporation of real-life examples and practical exercises helped solidify the learning process.
The teacher's passion for English language and literature was palpable in every session. Their enthusiasm was infectious and inspired students to actively participate in discussions, share opinions, and ask questions.

Laurence is one of those rare gifted teachers who make you feel comfortable from the very first hour. Lesson after lesson I feel much more confident, and I suspect it is mainly due to his ability to put you at ease. Not judgmental, careful, competent, professional...his lessons are always a pleasure and an opportunity for growth, not only linguistic, but also personal. Thank you very much indeed!
