"I really like the boutique and bespoke nature of Laura's classes. She is an excellent teacher and I really enjoy our sessions". Mark Heywood, Banking.
"Laura's lessons are always so well prepared and the handmade cards really do help you to learn and also more importantly to remember the new content. The mix of conversation, your own interests and Spanish culture are intertwined with the necessary grammar and verbs so you hardly even notice them! I look forward to the next lesson I am going to have so incredibly I now actually enjoy Monday mornings!" Hannah Walker, Analyst.
"I thought I was too old to take lessons and learn Spanish, as I tried classes in Salamanca and learnt very little. But Laura’s individual lessons are very much fun and they move at my own pace. If something is not clear I can ask (even in English) until I understand. Lessons are well prepared and she always finds interesting subjects. Laura is very enthusiastic and really positive. This also affects the pupil, which in turn has given me confidence and I made substantial progress with my Spanish. Learning can be fun." Uwe Ploog, Director – retired.
"Sarah and I (daughter/father) have done 12 hours of Spanish with Laura and feel ready to engage in conversations on our holiday in Spain this summer. We have really enjoyed the lessons which have been fun, relaxed and carefully structured to meet our needs and interests. We are looking forward to more lessons in the autumn. Laura es una profesora excelente!" John Wilks, English teacher, university lecturer and Sarah Lynch, NHS Data analyst.
"My initial motivation to learn Spanish was purely business and I had very little time to learn it. But apart from just learning the language I wanted to understand the culture and Laura's classes were one of the few which at first glance reflected a sense of language plus culture. The one on one format is great when you want to learn fast. It helps pace out classes as per your individual understanding. Laura's teaching technique using cue cards and drawings is simply great. The sheer fact that within six classes you can construct complete sentences and pretty much describe places, things, people, locations is amazing. Recently on Laura's suggestion I visited Oaxaca and in the next class described the restuarant, food, ambience and the overall experience. Now that really helped guage how much I had learned in such a short time !!! In short: ˇMuy Bien!" Safiul Gazi, Investment.
"Laura is the best Spanish teacher I have had. Her classes are clear and interesting and focused totally on a student’s individual needs. On top of that she has a great sense of humour and I really enjoy learning with her. What more could you want from a teacher?" Jackie Wilford, Professional dancer.
"I have been massively impressed by Laura's approach to helping us learn Spanish. She has invested a huge amount of preparation time on designing her own teaching materials and lesson plans, which results in structured, enjoyable and beneficial learning. I recently went to Spain for a weekend and could not believe how much Spanish I had learnt in such a short space of time. An excellent teacher." David Steele, Chartered Tax Advisor.
