About Laurie

Hello! I'm Laurie, and I'm excited to help you build confidence in your English speaking skills.
With a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and years of experience as an elementary and middle school substitute teacher, I understand how people learn and adapt to each student's unique style. I've traveled extensively and worked with people from cultures around the world, so I'm comfortable with different accents and cultural backgrounds.
As a mother of four adult children, I bring patience and the ability to explain things clearly. I genuinely enjoy meeting people and learning about your goals and interests. Whether you're preparing for work, travel, exams, or simply want to improve your conversational English, I'm here to support you.
My teaching style is relaxed and encouraging. I believe the best way to improve is through natural conversation about topics that matter to you. I'll gently correct errors and help you sound more confident.
I look forward to chatting with you!

About the lesson

I believe the best way to learn English is through relaxed, meaningful conversation about topics you care about. With my background in psychology, I understand how adults learn best - through practice, encouragement, and real-world application.
A Typical Lesson
We start by chatting about your goals and interests
I listen to your natural speech and identify areas to strengthen
We practice through conversation, focusing on pronunciation, vocabulary, or grammar as needed
I provide gentle corrections and helpful phrases you can use immediately
What Sets Me Apart
My psychology background helps me understand each student's learning style and build confidence. As a substitute teacher, I'm flexible and adaptable. As a mother of four adults, I'm patient and encouraging.
Who This Is For
My lessons are perfect for intermediate to advanced adult learners who want to improve conversational fluency, business English, or feel more confident speaking naturally.
