Bonjour! My name is Laura, and I am from French Polynesia. For the past 10 years, I have been living in 4 different countries, which include French Polynesia, La Reunion, Mauritius, and the United States (more specifically, Hawaii). My favorite hobbies are learning, creating, and organizing everything.
The greatest lesson I ever learned in life is "If you want it, find a way."
Remember that, alone, you can go fast. But together, we can go far.
Me as a Teacher
After years working as a language teacher in a few different schools and countries, I am now working as a teacher of English as an international language in a multicultural university. I am also teaching French online, which has been a great cultural opportunity for the past 5 years. I truly enjoy meeting people from all around the world. I've had students from all continents and from different types of background. No matter where you come from and what path you are on, it is not too late to start and achieve your goals. My goal is to help people open the door of opportunities by learning a new language effectively. I may not be perfect, but what I do is simply my best. My lessons & teaching style
My teaching methods are based on academic and conversational exercises as well as fun activities, designed according to your personal learning preferences. I adjust my teaching to your personal learning goals and to your level. For example, if you are learning the language for the first time, I will help you start with the basics. If you are getting back to the language after putting a pause on your learning journey, I will help you review and expand your knowledge. If you are signing up for your child, I will use visuals and games to help them learn with fun. Whether you are beginner or a fluent speaker, I am ready to take the challenge to help you overcome your own challenges.My teaching material

Laura is a wonderful teacher! She keeps lessons fun and engaging while providing helpful lessons. She’s very encouraging and collaborative, and I’ve noticed significant improvements in my understanding of French since taking lessons with her! I strongly recommend her as a tutor.

Laura est une bonne prof! Chaque leçon, elle m'encourageait d'essayer les conjugaisons. Je pense que mon français est mieux chaque temps j'ai un leçon avec elle. S'il y avait des erreurs, elle me corrigait tout de suite! Aujourd'hui, J'ai appris l'imparfait!
