Bonjour ! I am a native French speaker and have been joyfully teaching my language and sharing my culture with students from all over the world for 10 years.
I was born, raised, and educated in Paris. Over the past 13 years, I have divided my time between France and various other countries. Currently, I am based in Costa Rica.
I hold two Master's degrees in Business and Public Policies. After working in marketing for Peugeot-Citroën, I transitioned into research at Rio de Janeiro Federal University. Eventually, I followed my passion and became a French teacher.
In my free time, I enjoy surfing, reading, meditating, and engaging in conversations about different cultures and life stories.
Me as a Teacher
With 10 years of experience, I have been teaching French both as an online tutor and at the Alliance Française.
My unique teaching method, which I have personally developed, has received excellent feedback. I not only teach the language but also provide guidance on effective study techniques.
Known for being supportive, patient, and enthusiastic, I create an environment where my students feel comfortable asking questions, sharing their doubts and engaging in French conversations.
***Please keep in mind that I kindly request a minimum of 4 days notice for any lesson rescheduling. Your understanding is greatly appreciated. ***
My lessons & teaching style
What sets my method apart is its focus on both the assimilation of theoretical concepts and the practical application in real-life situations.
Through interactive activities and engaging discussions, I empower my students to quickly apply what they learn, enabling them to gain confidence in their language skills and effectively communicate in French from the very beginning.
My materials ensure a comprehensive learning experience as they are structured, clear, and engaging, with a specific focus on improving both written and oral proficiency.
Specific details regarding the materials used are provided in the reservation section.

Laura is a true professional! She has a very well-structured teaching approach and has clearly put a lot of time and energy into developing an extensively organized collection of valuable lessons. So impressive! I had a first session with her as a trial run, and will most certainly be booking with her again. Highly recommended teacher without question. Merci, Laura!

I've had several French tutoring sessions with Laura and she has been nothing short of fantastic. I like how each of Laura's lesson is a continuation from the last. What I mean by that, is even though you may be doing a new lesson, Laura still incorporates some of the other previous lessons you've done before and will periodically test you in both speech, writing and spelling. Personally I think this is a great way of learning as it cements what you learn to memory and assist you in recalling words and vocabulary until it becomes second nature.
Overall in my opinion, I think Laura has a very well rounded and effective way to teaching French. I wholeheartedly recommend Laura and I look forward to more lessons from her.
