"Laura is a wonderful teacher. She makes all the lessons interesting and fun. She is very encouranging and I really feel I’m making progress. We wanted to learn Mexican Spanish so it’s great for us to learn Mexican phrases and about Mexican culture." Liz Wigglesworth, Stenographer.
"Learning Latin American Spanish with Laura made so much easier with her very skilled and informal approach. Laura makes things fun and has bags of patience – always willing to answer questions. You don’t just feel you are learning a language with Laura, but the culture too." Dan Beadle, Support worker.
"Laura is a fantastic teacher who makes learning Spanish thoroughly enjoyable through her diligent preparation of interesting sessions. I am trying to bring myself up to a strong conversational level and Laura has tailored a structured programme which has taken me through all of the key elements, while building my vocabulary. I look forward to my lessons each week and am excited about going abroad to practice! I have got the confidence back to speak in Spanish." Steve Hollander, Banking.
"I enjoy Laura’s lessons. She plans them around topical issues which makes them interesting but at the same time covering all the basics of grammar and language. I have made better progress than I imagined possible in the time." Caroline Britton, Accountant.
"I always thought that learning Spanish would be extremely difficult and time consuming. I wanted to meet someone who I could connect with and who would help me learn the language in an easy way. When I first met Laura I realised quickly that by using her excellent method of learning I would be able to pick up the language. What helps is the informal setting (a Central London cafe), picture cards to help you learn the words, and Laura's patience in making sure you get the pronunciations right. Laura also uses topical events like the World cup to help you get your words right!!! If you want to learn Spanish with someone who really cares about your progress then choose Laura." Neil Henderson, Journalist.
"I enjoy my Spanish lessons with Laura as she is well prepared and her topics for the lessons are innovative & relevant e.g. a couple of lessons on the World Cup (shame it didn't go to plan for England or Mexico). I will be continuing with the Spanish which is a compliment to Laura." Stephen Hicks, Statistician.
"I found Laura's Spanish classes extremely helpful and fun!! Each class was not only presented in a professional, efficient way but was made to be enjoyable as well. I learnt a lot and made me want to learn more!" Valerie Macdonald, Secretary – retired.
"I think the brilliant thing about Laura’s Spanish lessons is that she takes a lot of trouble to prepare for each lesson, carefully considering my interests and areas I need to work on. She tailors the classes to suit me and researches into different topics for discussion, always making it fun and relevant. Each class is varied with a mix of grammar, conversation and games while trying to put into practice what I have learnt in previous lessons." Ella Porter, Magazine Writer.
"The lessons are fun especially when you are learning with a friend! Laura is very well prepared for her classes and always brings wonderful resources. We are both teachers and I think it must be difficult to try to teach two teachers!" Jocelyn Lewis, Secondary School Teacher.
