Over 7550 lessons! 25 years teaching experience. A kind, funny, patient, native English speaker. Huge thanks to all my lovely students. 7550 iTalki lessons and more! I've been teaching for over twenty-five years. I'm British, a photographer living in France, and I really like to help people who are learning English to achieve the best they can. I help adult learners speak English confidently in real conversationsโ€”without translating in their head. My lessons focus on fluency, correction, and helping you sound natural when you speak. One of the biggest hurdles to learning is low confidence. I offer patient, well-paced, appropriate teaching to students that seeks to raise confidence, and motivates great conversation. Over twenty-five years I've gained a strong reputation for quality online teaching, and a high professional standard of delivery and support. Lessons are typically discussion-based (free talk), and offer points of grammar, and discuss idioms. We'll read, talk, and listen, together. My teaching adapts to the needs of the student. I especially help students who feel stuck understanding English but struggle to speak naturally.

Teacherโ€™s pick
Laurence remains undoubtely the best teacher I ever had in all of my years of studying. He clearly is intelligent and fully qualified. His way of talking enables you to speak at your best. No anxiety, no pression. He always proposes some kind of activity, whether it is watching a short video or reading an extract. You are sort of "put on the spot" but in a positive manner... with the sole purpose of making you grow up.

His lesson was fantastic! I enjoyed it very much, because he was relaxed me and gave me confident to speak during lesson. I'm looking forward to next lesson.

Laurence is one of those rare gifted teachers who make you feel comfortable from the very first hour. Lesson after lesson I feel much more confident, and I suspect it is mainly due to his ability to put you at ease. Not judgmental, careful, competent, professional...his lessons are always a pleasure and an opportunity for growth, not only linguistic, but also personal. Thank you very much indeed!

When I took my first lesson with Laurence, I just knew that he is the kind of teacher I like. He has his own methodology and is really good at encouraging the students to speak. As an English learner for more than 15 years, I can feel that the pedagogies of him are helpful and well-founded. Looking forward to having another lesson with Laurence!
