Hi! I'm Teacher Laura

Laura is a dedicated, passionate,  seasoned professional Teacher, Coach and Trainer with 30 years of experience. She is friendly, fun and patient. 

I welcome all learners from age 4-84 and specialize in teaching the periphery groups of learning disabled or gifted. I have taught internationally as well as throughout the US. 

I have two children of my own, and understand the importance of being able to confidently converse in other languages. When not teaching, 

I can be found hiking, reading, leading travel groups, and enjoying time with old and new friends. My favorite place is on a beach. My favorite indulgence is chocolate. Come join me in class!

Class Options

Specialized Private Classes

With private classes, the lessons go at the pace that meets the student’s needs. We focus on exactly what the student can improve on, and no time is wasted reviewing things that the student already knows.

Overnight English

This is for busy students who wish to have quick progress without classes. Twice per week students are invited to send a video or audio clip, up to 5 minutes in length. I will respond by video or audio overnight, with corrections and suggestions for practice. This option is available to only 5 students.

Conversation Practice

Conversation practice builds confidence in students. The teacher will ask lots of questions to keep the student talking, and be correcting grammar along the way. This is also a great option for students that resist textbook learning. The subjects will be tailored to the students interests, keeping them excited and engaged the whole time.

Reading Classes

It's very important for students to be confident in reading English if they will be pursuing higher education or international business. By reading out loud, the teacher is able to correct pronunciation and the student is able to better understand the usage of new words by seeing them in context. Reading out out loud builds confidents is students of all ages and levels.

After only a few sessions with Laura, my child's teacher asked what happened? She is so confident now! Laura's focus on my whole child and meeting her specific needs has done wonders for our whole family. Over the years she has helped each of my children and we are looking forward to her expertise again when we prepare for college.

My children adapted well to our new country and I made no friends because I was not comfortable talking. Laura put me at ease and taught me ways to join in the conversations. I am so excited to share my thoughts with others and make friends - in English! Join her class! You will love it!

Translate in English Class Time 2017-10-06 18:30 (Beijing Time) Unit 11 - Lesson 1 What is the weather today? 1【翻译结果由百度提供】The teacher was very patient and persuasive. Several times the child was absent-minded. I was angry when I sat next to him, but the teacher still encouraged the child to bring him into the classroom. I was very moved! A great teacher! thank!

hello, my dear Laura, thank you for your wonderful lesson. our students all love your lessons very much. i am happy that i am your friend now. i feel so glad. you did very well with the song "hello". our students are so happy with the song. thanks for telling me about yourself, my dear Laura. our students are about 7or 8 years old. most of them are 7 years old. they are Grade 1 student. most of them never learnt English before. Steven is the only one student who learnt English before. He is a clever boy. there are about 60 students in our class. it is a big class. we have a big classroom. but the camera is limited, i make some students sit at the back of the classroom. then everyone can see you. i don't know how many students in American's classroom. but in china, it is common that we have 70 students in a class. it is ok that you ask student stand in our class. we always ask students to stand when they answer questions. i think children will be happy if we sing and dance together. i want you can teach us many English songs. yes, next time i will make name tag for them. so you can see them clearly and ask them to answer questions. most of them can remember their english names very well. i am sorry that we don't have the large moniter. but i will negotiate this with our school. we are in lianyungang, jiangsu province. it is not so big as the Shanghai and Beijing. but people here are very nice. everyone can hear you clearly when we have class. don't worry about that. our days here are hot here. i hope it will be cool soon. my dear Laura, please take good care of yourself. say hello for me to your children. i look forward to seeing you next week. i will wait for your note on VIPKID. i hope we can communicate more. 🙂

I highly reccommend Laura. Laura is my teenage son's teacher. She makes all learning fun and interesting. She has been able to help my son learn in a few weeks things that he was unable to learn before for years. My son looks forward to his sessions and has gained great confidence.
