About Laurie
The crisp resonance of a well-pronounced vowel indicates a mind attuned to the subtle mechanics of French. My teaching character relies on high expectations and clear, logical explanations of grammar and verb conjugation. I completed an MA Applied Linguistics at RMIT to formalize my understanding of how languages function in the brain.
Over 13 years of experience, I have developed techniques to refine accent and intonation. I enjoy working with intermediate learners, advanced learners, travelers, and hobbyists who appreciate methodical study. We look at writing skills and idioms to bridge the gap between textbook French and real life.
My professional background enables me to treat interview preparation with the seriousness it demands. I focus on steady, incremental improvements that remain sustainable for long-term growth.

Initial meetings allow us to identify your specific hurdles and set a sustainable trajectory for our work. I review weekly conversation recordings with you to ensure every sound is precise and every sentence is structurally sound.
Because I hold an MA Applied Linguistics from RMIT, I analyze your speech patterns using proven linguistic frameworks. My 13 years of experience ensure that travelers and hobbyists receive the same level of rigorous attention as formal students. We use these recordings as a baseline to measure how your accent and intonation evolve over time.
This process creates a direct link between practice and improvement. Are you ready to begin our structured review process?
