Hi, I'm Laura! I hail from a village near Cambridge in England (a true pueblarina) and currently live in Toronto, Canada. I am an actor, vocalist, and teacher. I trained for my BA in Musical Theatre at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, completed my MA at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London, and attained my PhD from the University of Birmingham. I hold a Level 5, 168-hour TEFL qualification and am passionate about teaching; I love helping others achieve their language goals. I have produced several films and shows with my NPO production company. I am especially interested in helping people from disadvantaged backgrounds and giving a platform to voices that are often over
Ik als leerkracht
I am an experienced teacher with expertise in teaching English as a foreign language, as well as English literature, LAMDA, drama, and classical/ESTILL voice. Every student is unique, so I tailor programs to fit each individual’s likes, interests, passions, and inspirations. My philosophy is that we learn more effectively when we are enjoying ourselves, often learning without even realizing it. I strive to incorporate content that engages my students, drawing from video content, podcasts, and news articles that address issues, current affairs, and topics of interest to them. For younger students, I have developed some highly engaging online reward systems.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
The road to achieving fluency and accuracy is through practice! In my lessons, I incorporate a variety of elements, such as reading, quizzes, free talk, and role-play, to make the learning process as fun and interactive as possible. My teaching is tailored to YOUR individual interests and needs, featuring personalized content. During the trial session, we’ll discuss your interests and language goals. Based on your responses, I will create customized learning materials to effectively suit your needs. My lessons are designed to be both challenging and enjoyable. With a personable and dynamic approach, I look forward to embarking on this learning journey with you!
