About Lauren
Hi, I'm Lauren! I'm a CELTA-qualified English teacher with a background that combines academic training, professional writing experience, and hands-on classroom time with students of all ages.
I hold a CELTA certification, the internationally recognized standard for English language teaching, and I studied journalism, which gave me a strong foundation in grammar, clear communication, and breaking down complex ideas into something simple and understandable.
My teaching experience is varied and grounded in real classroom and one-on-one work. I volunteered as an English tutor in Spain, worked with School on Wheels supporting students navigating housing instability, and spent time as a children's reading grader and tutor at Kumon. Each of these experiences taught me how to adapt to different learning styles, build trust quickly, and create a space where students feel comfortable making mistakes as part of learning.
I bring patience, structure, and genuine warmth to every lesson. Whether you're just starting out or working to refine advanced skills, I'll meet you where you are and help you make real, steady progress.

My Teaching Method and Techniques
My approach is conversation-first and student-led. As a CELTA-qualified teacher, I focus on building real communication skills rather than memorized rules. I use TPR (Total Physical Response), visual aids, and natural repetition to help students absorb English without relying on translation, keeping lessons interactive, low-pressure, and genuinely engaging.
A Typical Lesson
I usually start with a warm-up to gauge energy and comfort level, then move into the day's focus, whether that's vocabulary, grammar in context, or free conversation. I build in plenty of speaking practice, gentle correction, and positive reinforcement, and I always leave room to follow a student's natural curiosity if a topic sparks their interest.
What Sets Me Apart
I studied journalism, so strong writing and grammar have always been a core strength of mine. That background gives me a sharp eye for the mechanics of English and a natural ability to explain grammar clearly and simply, without making it feel like a lecture. I'm patient, adaptable, and genuinely enjoy tailoring each lesson to the person in front of me, whether that means slowing down for a beginner or challenging a more advanced student with nuance and idiom.
Who My Lessons Are For
I work well with learners of all levels, from young children building foundational vocabulary to adult professionals refining fluency for work or travel. I especially enjoy helping students who want practical, conversational English they can use immediately, not just theory.
