Hey! What's up!? I'm Lawrence. But you can call me LJ. 😄
Language has always been more than a subject to me — it’s culture, identity, and connection.
I’ve been teaching English online for over 6 years, working with learners from many countries and backgrounds. Over time, I noticed the same pattern: students understood English well, but still felt blocked when it came to speaking naturally.
That curiosity led me to focus on how fluency actually develops in real life — through meaningful input, emotional connection, and consistent use — not memorization or shortcuts. That philosophy shapes everything I do as a teacher.Me as a Teacher
I’m a calm, thoughtful, and highly conversational teacher. I don’t rush lessons or overload students with rules. Instead, I help you understand why English works the way it does, so you can use it with confidence.
I work best with intermediate and advanced learners who want to express themselves clearly, think in English, and feel more at home using the language. I value patience, curiosity, and long-term growth over quick results.
If you’re serious about fluency and willing to engage thoughtfully, you’ll feel supported here. My lessons & teaching style
Lessons are built around real conversation, relevant topics, and your personal goals. Grammar is taught through use and patterns, not drills. Vocabulary comes from your interests, work, and daily life.
We focus on speaking with clarity, developing confidence, and reducing overthinking. You’ll practice responding naturally, not reciting prepared answers.
My goal is to help English feel usable and sustainable — something you live in, not something you constantly study.My teaching material

TESOL - International Open Academy - 2019Through this 120 hour TESOL course, I learned the basics of linguistics, strategies that would help me use a student’s primary language to teach them a new language, and how to motivate students who are new to the English language.

Teaching experience
2015 - 2019
Private Adult ESL TutorFor four years, I worked as a private ESL tutor for adults who were moving from other countries to the United States for education and secular work opportunities. Many of these ones had a basic level of English, so to assist them with the transition to a new country, they were assigned to work with a tutor to improve their skills in basic communication and pronunciation.
Education
2015 - 2017
Bachelor’s - Early College/General StudiesAs a high school student, I was dual-enrolled in a college, allowing me to earn college credits and complete a college degree by the time I was 18 years old.
Work Experience
2015 - 2017
ESL TutorFor two years, prior to receiving a professional English teaching certificate, I worked as a tutor for students at the local community college who acquired English as a second language. We focused mainly on academic English - grammar concepts and improving our conversation skills. I had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of students from different backgrounds, though the majority of my students spoke Spanish as their native language

I had a really great time with Lawrence. He's very friendly, smiley and joyful! He makes you feel relaxed and comfortable while speaking a new language. Also, he's very prepared on the topic of learning a new language. He has a method that makes you progress fast along your journey of acquiring a new language. He knows what he does and I'm looking forward to have more lessons with him! Thanks for today :D

He’s a good teacher and he listens to you, but what I liked most is that he speaks calmly, clearly, and slowly.

The lesson with Lawrence was awesome! I really enjoyed it. We covered so many different topics, and the conversation just flowed naturally.
Lawrence is super supportive and genuinely fun to talk to. He creates such a comfortable atmosphere that you’re not afraid to make mistakes or just speak freely.
Already looking forward to the next lesson!
