Ich als Lehrkraft
I teach children and adults of all ages and levels

In my classes we:
- role play
- make puppets and have puppet shows

My teacher superpower is teaching kids to read through phonics!
I LOVE phonics!

and more!
I use worksheets, slideshows, online games, scavenger hunts, puppets, paper crafts and origami in class!
Classes will be
- 30 minutes only (60 minute lessons available on invitation)
- 23-27 minutes long
- Progress reports will be sent every 3 - 6 lessons
***INFORMATION ABOUT TRIAL LESSONS***
- Trial lessons are 25 minutes long
- They are an assessment of your child's ability in speaking, listening and reading.
- Some trial lessons will include a phonics assessment.
- These lessons are designed to help us plan future lessons and NOT a stand alone lesson.
It's been more than 7 months that my daughter has been taking classes with Miss. Laura. Teachers of children need a great ability to adapt their classes to unexpected moments - children all the time lose focus in class - and it is in these situations that I am impressed by Miss Laura's ability to keep the learning going even in such diverse situations. My daughter loves Laura's classes at the same time that I see the great development of her English. Thank you, Miss. Laura!
