LAURA ALVARADO
English Tutor and Teacher
Personalized. Friendly. Meaningful.
LESSONS AND SPECIALTIES
PRIVATE ENGLISH & SPANISH LESSONS
Lessons are tailored to the student's needs and objectives using the methodology Teaching for Understanding. Options are endless. We could decide to follow a book and additionally include diverse material such as podcasts, TED Talks, published articles, movies, and songs, among other resources.
ENGLISH TUTORING FOR TEENS
Using the methodology Teaching for Understanding, sessions are planned based on the students' needs and objectives, and in close collaboration with the school's team if necessary. I emphasize confidence-boosting activities by using positive growth mindset strategies. As a reference, I've got experience tutoring students from ISE and Dutch schools.
IELTS PREPARATION
IELTS measures your reading, writing, listening and speaking skills, and assesses your ability to communicate for work, study or life in an English-speaking country. If you're taking the IELTS for the first time or improving your score, we can work on it by targeting all the required skills, knowledge, and abilities.
BUSINESS ENGLISH
Job interviews, communicating with colleagues, or writing emails can be overwhelming. I make learning interesting and interactive through a variety of engaging activities accompanied by a specialized book when needed.
SKYPE LESSONS
Online lessons are available for children, teens, and adults.
PROCTOR
A Proctor is an authorized supervisor that monitors a student when the test is taken at a location other than the official one.
