My name is Laura and I'm from Mexico City... I was born and raised in the south of the city - the greenest, most colourful part. It was there that as a child I became attracted to different languages and cultures - a passion that led me to travel first around my own country and then abroad.
Working as a business trainer enabled me to visit Spain where I lived for months and got to know both Barcelona and Madrid. My experiences there not only helped me to learn about the many different cultures within Spanish society, but also gave me a deeper understanding of my own culture, seeing it from the outside.
But it was in London, in Blackheath, where I found my second home. It was here where I applied my teaching skills to languages and used language to help people learn about different cultures that I have lived in. I started off with just 7 students (1 each day of the week!), mainly people who travelled to Spain and/or Latin America for work or on holiday. The number of students increased very quickly and in addition to group classes and special events, I also taught 270 children in the most prestigious private and state schools in Blackheath and Greenwich. I've been treated amazingly well and meet the most interesting people in London. Although years have passed and the business has grown I'm pleased to say my 7 original students are all still among those taking classes with me :)

I'm a CRB checked and registered teacher at the General Teaching Council for England.
