"Laura is a fantastic teacher: patient, supportive and understanding of other commintments. She makes it more than just learning a language bringing stories and knowledge of Mexico and her travels. Laura brings a relaxed informal feel to each class that makes me really look forward to each lesson (even when I haven t had time to do my homework!). I couldn t recommend Laura highly enough!" Alex Ede, Accountant.

"I have been having one to one tuition with Laura for over two years. I find the lessons fun and stimulating. Laura takes the lessons at my pace and slowly builds up my vocabulary and understanding of Spanish grammar. The material Laura uses is interesting. I would recommend her as a teacher!" Cindy Maula, Social Worker.

"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.

"Laura is a brilliant teacher, very patient and I look forward to my lesson every week. As a complete beginner to Spanish, I feel this has been perfect for me, as Laura has built up the course content gradually and in a very comprehensive way. It s been tailored specifically to my requirements, abilities and relevant interests, which has helped me a lot." Caroline Farrant, Fashion producer and soon to be mum !

"I first started to learn Spanish in Guatemala during my gap year when I was 18 but following that year did not keep it up. Then in 2011 I made it my New Year s resolution to start learning Spanish again and I am so glad that I did. At first I was quite nervous about speaking as I knew my Spanish was pretty basic but Laura made me feel at ease, encouraging me to try and correcting my mistakes. I really enjoy my lessons with Laura, she adapts the lessons to her student s interests and she uses a mixture of exercises - you can never predict what you will end up doing in a lesson. My Spanish has improved significantly and I am now able to use a much wider range of tenses. Laura strikes a good balance pushing and challenging me whilst making the lessons fun and interesting. I would highly recommend her as a Spanish teacher whether you are a real beginner or someone who is fairly fluent but just wants a bit of extra practise." Lizzie Peto, Youth and children s worker.

"Learning Spanish has been incredibly challenging but Laura has made it as easy as possible. Our one-on-one lessons are perfectly tailored to my level of knowledge and my way of learning. We stick to topics that I find interesting so the lessons are always fun and never a chore. Thanks for all your help! Paul Watkins, Accountant.
