About Me
italki teacher since Nov 29, 2021InterestsTechPets & AnimalsMedical & HealthcareScienceFilms & TV Series
Hello!
I'm Laura, I'm 41 and I live in Yorkshire in the north of England. My day job is creating stock imagery for book covers and I'm an online English tutor! I have a degree in Media & Psychology, a 120 hour TEFL certificate and a 30 hour IELTS preparation certificate.
I love TV series (I used to work in television), movies, music, walking in the countryside, pub quizzes, I play the piano and I have 2 dogs and 2 ducks! I'm also learning to code for fun in my spare time.
I'm (very slowly) learning Spanish and I've taken lessons on italki, so I know what it's like to be the student. I'm a native English speaker with a neutral northern English accent.Me as a Teacher
I'm told that I'm very easy to talk to with a casual, friendly teaching style. Students tell me that my accent is easy to understand and that I speak clearly. It's important to feel at ease with your teacher and to enjoy lessons. The more you enjoy them, the more you learn!
I understand that life happens, so don't worry if you need to cancel or rearrange a lesson, even at the last minute.
Remember that I teach and speak in British English rather than American English.
My lessons are for adults aged 18 and over.

*If you are booking your first lesson with me, please book a 30 minute lesson*
Lessons are tailored to your needs and your level of English :)
I can help you to improve your English in various different ways! Simple conversation is such a great way to learn and practice. I love teaching British idioms and slang in every day conversation but I can also help you with grammar, pronunciation and corrections. I will note down helpful corrections as we talk, I will review them with you at the end of the lesson and then send my notes to you in a screenshot. I can also help with interview prep, reading and writing skills.
We'll focus on whatever it is that will help you to progress and learn!My teaching material

I just finished a class with Loura, and it was fantastic! We covered various topics, and I learned so much. Loura is incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and makes learning enjoyable. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their English skills!

Laura is an excellent teacher, I'm quite fortunate to have stumbled upon her profile. From the very first lesson there was a hundred percent match in vibe and attitude towards certain subjects. I can feel that I'm making a lot of progress with her. I would highly recommend Laura as an exceptional English teacher and an outstanding person.

I had my trial lesson with Laura. After 30 min chatting, I got a feeling like I found a help, so I am going to be a new student and hopefully move on with my English. Thank you 😊
