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.

Certificaten
Exam Preparation - The TEFL Org - 2024In this course, I widened and deepened my understanding of the most common English proficiency examinations around the world and how to assess my students' exact needs throughout their preparation time. To pass this course, I created a suite of four lessons designed to be implemented halfway through a Cambridge exam preparation course, before using one of these lessons to craft an in-depth step-by-step lesson plan considering students' individual needs and how best to prepare them.
