Hi everyone, I am a professional and native Spanish teacher. Knowing a different language than my own has allowed me to meet new people, cultures, and places. I will be happy to help you with a warm conversation. I enjoy a lot of traveling, reading, writing, and being in contact with all kinds of arts. I will be happy to talk about any of them and make our lessons comfortable.

My lessons & teaching style
I try to focus on my students' goals, no matter how simple or advanced they could be. I like to develop a fluent and good pronounced language, so in this way, they can get on easily and really enjoy speaking a new language.

Laura is my first tutor on this platform and she set the bar extremely high.
Laura teaches by grammar topic instead of vocabulary topics, which I find to be an awesome structure to follow. Learning vocabulary on my own is easy, but understanding the way the language works is not something I can do very well on my own and Laura has helped immensely with that. She always answers my question on when and how to apply these grammar rules.
Laura has been more than patient with my mistakes and corrects me on even the littlest things (such as using the wrong gender or forgetting plurals) which I appreciate so much. I do not want to get into the bad habit of thinking those are not important.
She has always given me homework (writing, listening & reading) and for the few odd times that I didn't do the homework, she was willing to go over it with me during the class. She is flexible in understanding that I am not the perfect student. I look forward to learning more from her.

Laura is an absolutely fantastic teacher. I've been taking classes from her for 6 months now and my Spanish level has improved dramatically. She is incredibly patient, no matter how difficult or slow my learning process was. She will converse with you to make sure you understand the topic at hand, but also that you can use it properly in the correct manner. She does a great job of personalizing the classes for you and your particular needs, also she's extremely kind. I've really enjoyed all my classes with her. I could not recommend her more!

Having missed Laura's group class on "inclusive" language, I booked an individual class to talk about that very topic. Laura provided me with an article and two videos that served as starting point for the discussion, during which she kept her focus on (unobtrusively) correcting my mistakes and helping out with vocabulary. A productive and interesting class! I wish I had more time for this hobby of mine, i.e. studying the Spanish language.

I did a trial lesson and enjoyed Laura's class time. We discussed my goals and even with my very limited Spanish speaking skills we were able to have a bit of conversation. She's patient and explained things well. I plan to continue taking lessons with her.

I recently had a trial Spanish class with Miss Laura on italki, and it was an excellent experience. From the beginning, she was warm, friendly, and made me feel comfortable, which is especially important for beginners like me. Her teaching style is clear and engaging, and she tailored the lesson to match my goals and current level of Spanish.
Miss Laura is patient, encouraging, and explains concepts in a way that’s easy to understand. She also introduced practical exercises that made learning fun and interactive. I appreciated how she focused on
