ABOUT ME

Hello! I'm Laura, a passionate English teacher with over 20 years of experience. My journey with English began in Boston, MA, where I lived for six years. It was there that I discovered my love for helping others unlock the power of language and communication.

These days, when I'm not teaching, I enjoy exploring the city with my furry friend Argos!

Teaching Background

School Teacher (2008-2016): I honed my teaching skills in a school setting, fostering a love of learning in young minds while teaching English, Philosophy for Kids, and Art & Music Appreciation.
Registered Freelancer in Eindhoven (Since January 2018): Currently, I operate as a registered freelancer in Eindhoven, Netherlands, offering personalized English language support to a diverse clientele.

Who I Help

Children & Young Adults: I provide tutoring for students from Dutch and international schools who want to improve their reading, writing, and organizational skills.
Expats in Eindhoven: I understand the challenges of adapting to a new country. My lessons help expats build confidence, improve fluency, prepare for interviews, and feel more at home in Eindhoven.
Online Learners from Around the World: The world is my classroom! I also enjoy working with learners from other countries who connect with me online. Whether you're looking for general English improvement, exam preparation, or business English skills, I can tailor my lessons to your specific needs.
Spanish Language Learners: I'm happy to work with Spanish-speaking adults who are looking to improve their English language skills for personal or professional development. Additionally, I have experience working with IB students and can tailor my lessons to help them succeed in their Spanish language requirements.
