About Me
italki teacher since Jan 28, 2025InterestsSports & FitnessFoodEnvironment & NatureTravelReading
Hello, I’m Laura, welcome :)
I'm from London, UK, but I now live in the beautiful French countryside 🌲 In my free time I enjoy hiking, running, cooking, music, travel, films, psychology, reading, learning...
I have over 6 years experience teaching private English lessons to children, teenagers and adults, and I have taught over 7000 English lessons online. I really enjoy teaching and helping my students progress.
I am calm, supportive and encouraging and I aim to create a safe and relaxed environment to learn in.
I'm learning French too, and I'm a student on Italki. I really understand how hard it is to learn a new language (and how scary it can all be!)
As well as teaching English, I also teach yoga and meditation and I have a guest house in my French farmhouse.
✨✨✨
As your teacher, I will guide you, support you and give you lots of time to talk. Along with corrections when needed of course, and explanations to help.
In our classes I'll introduce new vocabulary, phrases and grammar to help you sound more natural and grow your fluency.
I'm experienced in helping students move past the intermediate plateau. If that's you - let's find what you need and challenge you again :)
I offer different class types to support your learning, but all my lessons adapt to you and your goals.
⭐ Please check the lesson descriptions for more details ⭐
If you have any questions about which class type is right for you, please don't hesitate to ask. I'll be happy to help.My teaching material

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.
