"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 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 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.

"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.

"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.
