About Me

Language has always been more than communication to me. It's how we locate ourselves in the world — how we signal who we are, where we've been, and who we're becoming.
I'm LJ, the founder of The Fluent Framework — a methodology built on the belief that real fluency isn't memorized. It's inhabited. It grows from identity, culture, and the slow, intentional work of becoming someone who doesn't just speak a language but lives inside it.
My work sits at the intersection of language, culture, and human storytelling. And every student I work with brings a unique arc — a journey that deserves more than drills and repetition.
You found something different & special here. I'm glad you did.Me as a Teacher
My sessions aren't lessons in the traditional sense. They're consultations — guided conversations with direction, intention, and something to show for them afterward.
Before we meet, I think about you. Your goals, your patterns, the gap between where you are and where you want to be. When we sit down together, we don't fill time. We work through something real.
Every student I work with has a living file — a record of their journey that grows with every session. You're not starting over each time we meet. You're building something.
I believe the best teaching happens when a student feels seen, not evaluated. My job isn't to correct you into fluency. It's to guide you into it. My lessons & teaching style
I don't offer typical lessons. Every session we have together has a clear focus, a direction, and something concrete you take away afterward. You'll never leave feeling like you just talked for an hour.
When you book with me, you become part of a real program. I keep a file on every student — tracking your progress, your patterns, and your goals — so each session builds on the last instead of starting from scratch.
Not sure which listing is right for you? Start with The Orientation (Trial Lesson). One session that shows you exactly where you are, where you're headed, and how we get there together.
This isn't just a lesson. It's a plan.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!
