Mastering American English: Fluent Conversations and Cultural Connections

Hey!

I offer personalized English lessons online and around Leipzig (4km ratio from Johannapark) . I am a native English speaker from the USA, with over 4 years of teaching experience and TEFL certification.

I focus primarily on working with adults, especially those who feel fear of the language barrier. In the past two years, I have taught business courses, but also courses for employees of cultural institutions, students of fine arts departments and employees of the US embassy.

During our sessions we delve into engaging conversations while focusing on grammar and new vocabulary. The comfort of the students is key for me, and in order to track progress, we regularly conduct short tests.


A little about me: I was born and raised in Chicago, so English is my first language. I have completed Visual Art and Creative Writing studies in Poland and courses in teaching English, and as of October 2023 I have started postgraduate studies at HGB in Leipzig.

I can also issue invoices for the classes.

Languages spoken:
English - Native
Polish - C2
German - A2

Learn Russian and English with an individual approach
As a language enthusiast, I have a natural tendency to teach you that language with great inspiration. I would accept any offer when it comes to homework, translations, various projects, or simply teaching the language. I prefer to design lessons in such a way that everyone can develop the inspiration for language through songs, games, videos, poems, and so on. The best way to learn the language is when the lessons are exciting and visually designed. I am really happy when we can experience the adventure into the world of language together.

Laura
French Lessons And Tutoring for Children and Teens. From Beginners to Advanced Levels.
A class in French to learn to speak, read, and write in French. The learners are encouraged to speak in French when answering questions to learn proper sentence structure and pronunciation. A curriculum can be developed to match the learner's levels and goals with homework and a test at the end. No need to purchase books, I provide the pdf's. I am also available virtually for any questions that your learner may have during the week. This class can also be as a tutor to support the learner's current curriculum in school is also doable. Reach out with any questions, or days and times you might prefer if you don't see anything that matches your preferences. What parent's say?: My 7-year-old daughter's confidence in her French has grown significantly in Laura's French class. She attends a trilingual school and was initially struggling to keep up with all the languages. Laura's teaching has not only boosted her confidence but also improved her participation, as noted by her French teacher during our recent parent-teacher conference. Laura ensures that every student, no matter the class size, has a chance to speak a significant amount during her lessons, and her caring approach to diverse learning abilities is impressive. Both my sons, 17 and 16, have been taking French lessons with Laura, and she is an exceptional teacher. She's patient, fun, interesting, personable, understanding, and on top of it. We are hoping she offers more classes that we can sign up for :) My daughter has loved taking French from Laura for the last year and a half. And I can honestly say that if I had a teacher like Laura when I was in my high school French classes, I would still be speaking French. She has a great way of communicating with the kids and helping them feel comfortable learning and loving a new language. Outstanding teacher! Great with kids and very organized lessons! Laura is always supportive of the students. I saw my student progress in French and my student felt more confident in French language study. She attempts to make it a mostly immersive experience, but never leaves students confused about what she is saying.
