About Me
italki teacher since Jun 14, 2021
Hi there! My name is Laura and I’m a filmmaker from Bogotá, Colombia. I love having new experiences, travelling the world and connecting with people from all sorts of backgrounds, this is why I decided to learn English and currently I’m learning German. I consider myself a responsible, respectful, kind and curious individual, and all these are traits I try to bring to class with me as a tutor.
Me as a Teacher
I have experience teaching Spanish as a second language in informal settings to foreigners, from beginners to advanced ones. Because I’m not only a tutor but also a learner, when I plan my classes I try to keep in mind what practices have helped me learn better and what I have enjoyed the most when learning another language so I can use those ideas to nourish your learning experience as a student.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are focused on your goals, needs and interests. I will use material from different sources (such as videos, books, articles, etc.) and we will revise topics that fit you and are level appropriate and useful. I believe it is important to invite Spanish into your life as much as you can so you can get used to it, because of this we will speak Spanish as much as possible from our first lesson, and if you would like it I can provide self study activities that we will check together on further sessions. It is a goal of mine that you learn something new every lesson so you can perceive progress and also that you enjoy the process of learning this language.

To prospective students, having studied under Laura's tutelage for some time now, I can say: she will quickly assess your level, meet you there and invest the time it takes for you to understand different elements (grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, etc.) confounding you. That, and she has an abundance of patience, which is the ultimate currency necessary for a good teacher. Because learning languages involves a lot of failure and practice, she encourages you to speak, speak, speak - but she corrects mistakes with kindness and in a manner that doesn't inhibit progress. For these reasons and more, I think you'll get a lot out of your classes with Laura.

Laura has taught me so much. I can never thank her enough, especially in the area of pronunciation. I'm not there yet, but I would have never gotten this far without the exquisite and precise teaching style of this marvelous teacher. Good luck, Laura.

I talked REAL slow today. Trying to improve my pronunciation.
Laura didn't mind at all. And she helped me along every step of the way. So supportive!

Laura is so wonderfully precise. She wants to help you get your pronunciation right. That is why she is so great to study with.
