Nervous about using English?
Need to pass a speaking exam with flying colours?
Not sure you can hold a conversation with a native speaker?
I'm Laura and I can help you gain the conversational confidence you need!
I was born and grew up in London and the South East of England, so I teach English with a 'Standard Southern British' accent. Alongside being a teacher, I am a writer, and in my spare time I love to learn languages, travel, cook, and keep fit.
