I'm a Colombian journalist who fell in love with english at the age of 9 and have loved languages ever since. My hobbies and interests include traveling, going to concerts, blogging about culture, trips and food. I also worked with children as an Au pair in the U.S. for nearly 2 years.
Soy una comunicadora social y periodista nacida en Colombia. Me enamoré del inglés a la edad de 9 años y desde entonces me encantan los idiomas. Mis hobbies e intereses incluyen viajar, ir a conciertos, escribir en mi blog sobre moda, viajes y cultura pop. Fui Au pair en USA por casi 2 años.
Ich als Lehrkraft
Growing up, I always helped my classmates with English tests and later on I started teaching children in my hometown English. I would love to continue sharing my beautiful language with foreigners, as well as helping Spanish speakers with their English, by having casual conversations and learning from them as well!

Desde que era muy joven siempre ayudé a mis compañeros de clase a estudiar inglés, y más adelante, comencé a enseñarle inglés y español a niños. Me gustaría seguir compartiendo ambos idiomas con aquellos que lo necesiten a través de conversaciones casuales en donde aprendamos mutuamente.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My classes will be primarily conversation based. I want you to feel like you're going to the Cafe to meet with an old friend who happens to be a Spanish speaker! I will do my best to adjust to your needs and answer any and all questions that you might have.

Mis clases serán como conversaciones. Quiero que sientan que están en un café charlando con una buena amiga que a la vez puede hablar español e inglés. Daré lo mejor de mí para ajustarme a tus necesidades y responder cualquier duda que puedan tener.
¡Una clase magnifico como siempre! Laura has worked tirelessly to help me articulate myself better in a wide range of topics. I always feel more confident in my level of speaking after every class!

Laura is the perfect Spanish teacher. Her lessons are fun and she is very patient and supportive. We mostly speak in Spanish during our lessons, but she speaks perfect English so we can switch over when I need a bit more help understanding something. She has solid academic knowledge of language (both Spanish and English) for when that is necessary. Highly recommended.

As always, I had a wonderful lesson with Laura! I have been working with her for almost six months and I attribute a lot of my progress in learning Spanish on the work we've been doing together. She's extremely patient and supportive, and always comes prepared to our lessons. It's been a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend her as a teacher.

I reserved a class with Laura in order to learn as much as possible about Colombia. Tomorrow we're having a presentation in a local library about Colombia and I wanted to learn a little before the presentation. At my age I seldom get surprises any longer, but Laura surprised me tremendously. She had a presentation ready for my class, a type of Power Point one, and showed me a large number of photos of Colombia, explaining the makeup of the people there, the interesting areas, the foods--just everything she could cram into one hour. My only regret is that I did not record the class with her. For those of you who haven't visited Colombia before, even if you never plan to visit that country, and for those planning a visit, do yourself a favor and book Laura for an hour. You won't regret it. You'll learn so much about a lovely and interesting country. Speaking of lovely--------.
