Let's make 2026 the year you improve your English! I am from a town called Bournemouth on the South coast of England but I moved to Madrid a year ago! I have lived in Spain before but also in France and Germany. I have taught students from many different countries and love learning about different cultures. I also enjoy reading, yoga and pilates, crafts, learning Spanish and I love animals. I have over 20 years teaching experience in teaching all ages and all levels (over seven years on Italki) I have a lot of experience in General English. and Exam English and I have helped prepare a lot of students for exams including the IELTS and Cambridge exams. I have taught in the UK, Spain and Germany, in schools, companies and at home. I have a very good knowledge of grammar and also very experienced in helping students with their vocabulary, pronunciation, listening, reading and speaking skills. Because I have learnt languages myself (French and Spanish) I totally understand what it is like to be a language learner and I hope this makes me a better teacher. I always make sure I plan my lessons very well. I want them to be interesting with a good variety of activities and materials. I also provide written feedback at the end of every lesson and at the beginning of each lesson we review mistakes from previous classes. The structure of the lessons very much depends on you. In the first class we will talk about exactly what YOU want and then we will go from there. You may be looking for a structured course or something more relaxed, ...

I've been learning English with Laura on Italki for several months now, and I can't praise her enough. Laura is incredibly attentive, friendly, and professional. She takes meticulous notes of my errors during our classes and provides thorough feedback afterward, which has greatly contributed to my progress. What also sets Laura apart is her ability to tailor each lesson to my specific needs and interests, always adapting our sessions accordingly, ensuring they are both enjoyable and productive. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking quality instruction. Thank you, Laura! :)

She utilizes effective educational methods. It is evident that Laura is a professional, and the lessons with her are worth it. I have been having lessons with Laura for over half a year now.

I’d like to thank Laura, she’s an incredible teacher who takes a responsible approach to her work and pays careful attention to detail. I can highly recommend Laura as an English teacher, especially if your goal is to feel more confident when speaking with a native English speaker. Laura never interrupts you and gives you the opportunity to speak for yourself, which I find crucial for improving your English. I’ve been studying with Laura for a long time and, based on my lessons, I can say that I’ve come to understand the speech of native speakers, especially British speakers, much more clearly, and I’ve become much more confident speaking with native English speakers myself. As for grammar, you don't need to worry, because after every lesson, Laura provides excellent, professional feedback, where you'll find all the mistakes you've made and recommendations on how to improve your English. Thank you, Laura!
