Hi, everyone! My name's Layla and I'm a native Californian here to help you improve your language skills here on iTalki. My degree is in French and Philosophy and, in my spare time, I enjoy studying languages, traveling, and hanging out with my cats, Mila and Tačka. Currently, I'm studying for the LSAT, the exam you need to take to get into law school. (RIP!) Being a student of French and Serbian (and dabbling in Russian and Portuguese), I understand the need to practice with native speakers in order to maintain and improve your language skills. In my experience, the best thing for you to do is SPEAK. My students have described me as patient, helpful, encouraging, and assiduous. :)

Layla is a great communicator. She was especially good at letting me continue speaking. I was comfortable throughout the class. She also showed me how I could paraphrase what I said to sound more like native speakers. Awesome tutor!

I've booked a lesson with Layla for my 14-year-old son. The teacher managed to make him speak most of the time (though it was his first experience in talking with a native speaker). Layla is great at creating a friendly and comfortable atmosphere at the class which is very important for successeful language learning. We are very lucky to have Layla as a teacher. Highly-recommended!

I liked our lesson a lot!:) It was comfortable and relaxed, and it's important for me, because usually I always in a rush, and with Layla I feel I can take my time, do not run, but take a pause and have an enjoyable talk with someone very attentive. So I felt welcomed and more peaceful inside than usually

We have discussed recent tragic events all around the world, a bit of politics, and traveling. If I'd had as many red marks and corrections on my homework in the 3d grade, my father would have spanked me. Despite (or thanks to) this fact, It was the best lesson I have ever had. Thank you, Layla!
