About Me
italki teacher since Jan 28, 2025InterestsTravelFoodSports & FitnessReadingMusic
Hello, I’m Laura, thanks for being here. I'm from London, England, but now living in the beautiful French countryside. I have over 6 years experience teaching private English lessons to children, teenagers and adults.
I love meeting new people, and I also teach yoga and meditation and run an eco-friendly guest house in my 19th century French farmhouse.
In my free time, I love hiking, cooking, listening to music, travelling, practicing yoga and reading.
I am a student on Italki too (I'm currently learning French) and I truly understand the challenges of learning a new language. I love using my experience, both professional and personal, to help my students learn too.Me as a Teacher

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.
