Hello!
I'm Laura, I'm 40 and I live in Yorkshire in the north of England. I'm a professional photographer and online English tutor! I have a degree in Media & Psychology, a 120 hour TEFL certificate and I'm currently doing a 30 hour IELTS prep course.
I love TV series (I used to work in television), movies, music, walking in the countryside, pub quizzes, I play the piano and I have 2 dogs and 2 ducks! I'm also learning to code in Python & Swift in my spare time.
I'm also learning Spanish and I've taken lessons on italki, so I know what it's like to be the student. I'm a native English speaker with a neutral northern English accent.
Me as a Teacher
I'm very easy to talk to with a casual teaching style. It's so important to feel at ease with your teacher and to enjoy lessons. The more you enjoy them, the more you learn.
I understand that life happens, so don't worry if you need to cancel or rearrange a lesson, even at the last minute.
Remember that I teach and speak in British English rather than American English.
My lessons are aimed at *learners aged 18 and over*
My lessons are for adults aged 18 and over.
I am currently studying to offer IELTS prep in the near future.
I do *not* give consent for screen recording during lessons.
My lessons & teaching style
Lessons are tailored to your needs and your level of English :)
I can help you to improve your English in various different ways! Simple conversation is such a great way to learn and practice. I love teaching British idioms and slang in every day conversation but I can also help you with grammar, pronunciation and corrections. I will note down helpful corrections as we talk, I will review them with you at the end of the lesson and then send my notes to you in a screenshot. I can also help with interview prep, reading and writing skills.
We'll focus on whatever it is that will help you to progress and learn!

Laura is an excellent teacher, I'm quite fortunate to have stumbled upon her profile. From the very first lesson there was a hundred percent match in vibe and attitude towards certain subjects. I can feel that I'm making a lot of progress with her. I would highly recommend Laura as an exceptional English teacher and an outstanding person.

I love our lessons, we speak about everything. She is comprehensive and patience. She makes me fell relax during our class, no matter how many mistakes could I make. I feel more confident with the language since we met.

Super teacher. I would like to leave a review to make it nice. But I don't want other students to read it, and then there will be no free time in the schedule to book for myself ). I recommend )
