My name is Laura, and I'm from Oklahoma (USA), but I've been living in sunny Sevilla for more than eight years now. I fell in love with Spain while studying Spanish, so I decided to make Sevilla my home. Since then, I've been teaching English and finished two master’s programs. I understand that one of the best parts of learning a new language is getting connected to the culture, so that's why I love teaching my students about different traditions, holidays, and customs from my country. My absolute favorite part about working on italki is meeting people from around the world, and I hope I have the chance to get to know you!

Laura is the best speaking partner I’ve ever had! I took about 30 conversation lessons with her, and she’s the first teacher who truly got me talking. She’s incredibly supportive, always creating a safe space where you feel comfortable expressing yourself. Laura always shows real interest in what you say, asks thoughtful follow-up questions that help keep the conversation flowing naturally, and you never feel judged or afraid to make mistakes. At the same time, she somehow manages to take detailed notes during the lesson, and we go through them at the end — super helpful for learning. I always leave her classes feeling confident, motivated, and looking forward to the next one!

I've had fantastic English lessons with Laura. Each lesson is filled with engaging discussions on various topics. Laura creates a friendly and welcoming environment that made me feel comfortable expressing my thoughts and ideas. I highly recommend Laura as an English teacher. Her teaching style, combined with her friendly approach, creates an enjoyable and productive learning atmosphere.

Hi Laura, I found our lesson today particularly productive and really liked the way you helped me go through new words and differentiate their nuances. I also learnt many colloquial expressions like "wing it" and "white as a sheet". Thank you! It feels quite different from simply looking up words in the dictionary or on chatgpt, where I often forget the meaning of a word immediately afterward. I believe our brains tend to associate things with emotions and real-life contexts, which helps with memorisation. We should do it again besides our conversations.
