About Me
italki teacher since Jan 28, 2025InterestsReadingFoodSports & FitnessTravelEnvironment & Nature
Bonjour! I’m Laura, a Londoner living in the French countryside with 6+ years of teaching English and learning French the hard way!
Alongside my teaching businesses, I run an eco-friendly guest house and project manage the renovation of my 19th century French farmhouse (clearly I love a challenge and more than a little chaos!)
When I'm not teaching, I love hiking, cooking, travelling, practicing yoga and reading.
My own language journey means I understand your struggles - let’s turn them into real progress together with warmth, support and some fun! Ready to build confidence and skills? See you in class! 😊Me as a Teacher
If you are searching for a friendly, supportive teacher who cares about your goals, you're in the right place. Honestly!
As your teacher, I will support you, guide you and give you lots of time to talk and practice. I aim to create a safe and relaxed environment to learn in. After all, we learn best when we're relaxed and can take risks :)
I have gained a lot of teaching experience the last few years, teaching students from around the world, but I am also continually learning and developing my teaching skills - once a teacher, always a student!
My students say I’m helpful, warm, funny and calming when they are nervous or unsure.My lessons & teaching style
I am calm, understanding and supportive, and enjoy bringing some smiles to classes too :)
The structure and type of our lessons all depends on your goals and what you'd like to focus on - I offer natural, friendly conversation with helpful advice (think vocabulary, phrases and idioms), targeted skills classes using my library of great resources, flexible and effective business English classes, and fun and supportive kids classes - take your pick!
And if you are not sure? No problem! I'll help guide you so that you get the most from our time together.

It's truly a pleasure to have a conversation with someone so patient and who gives so much confidence and good energy, in addition to the grammatical corrections and advice. Thank you so much for your conversation. ;)

Laura has this calm and kind presence that instantly puts me at ease. I used to feel anxious speaking, but with her, I feel much more relaxed and confident. She’s really good at keeping the conversation going and always finds something interesting to talk about. I’m really grateful for her support.
