It's been more than 7 months that my daughter has been taking classes with Miss. Laura. Teachers of children need a great ability to adapt their classes to unexpected moments - children all the time lose focus in class - and it is in these situations that I am impressed by Miss Laura's ability to keep the learning going even in such diverse situations. My daughter loves Laura's classes at the same time that I see the great development of her English. Thank you, Miss. Laura!
