Laura is so awesome. She is super kind and an excellent teacher, and I appreciate the lessons she designs specifically for me and my language goals. I feel so great speaking Spanish and we both notice my progress as the weeks go on. I’m more fluent now than ever. So recommended! Such an amazing value! I could go on and on. :-)

Laura is the best Spanish tutor I could have asked for. She takes her time with the lessons and shows careful attention with grammar, pronounciation, and goes above and beyond to make the lessons very interactive and entertaining. Using various techniques from music to poetry to specific situational and cultural references, Laura has also helped me notice my own improvement. She keeps you very motivated to learn and always looking forward to your next lesson!

Laura is an exceptional tutor. She is highly patient and utilizes various learning modalities to help a student absorb and retain the Spanish language. Her methods work on comprehension, reading, writing and speaking. She spends time working on the diction and pronunciation of words. She customizes the lessons to your individual learning needs. Laura is also working on fine tuning some bad habits that I picked up over the years which is helping me re-learn the proper usage of the language. It is a process yet she will make it fun and engaging.

Laura speaks fluent English without an accent and Spanish with the accent from Spain. Both of these characteristics I find helpful. 1. It is difficult and tiring to speak to someone whose accent in English is hard to understand, and 2. there are differences between European Spanish (Peninsular Spanish) which is Laura’s “ lingua materna” and the Spanish of the Americas. Unless you have plans to be in a particular part of Latin America, I think it is better to learn “castellano”, the Spanish spoken by 99% of the people in Spain. Laura also is fairly fluent in Catalan the second most spoken language in Spain (17%). As well as teaching Spanish, Laura also works translating, proof-reading and copy-editing Spanish to English (and visa versa) for business purposes so that the communications read right, so she not only teaches you to speak Spanish, but to read and write it well. So she is not just someone who speaks both languages, but someone who speaks both with style. Laura is from a middle-class academic family. She is young, cheerful and energetic, pleasant to be around, and very smart. The lessons always take their point of departure from something that interests you, in my case that is bird-watching. So she on her own initiative found and brought to the lessons several articles in El País, the Newspaper from Madrid, that had feature articles about birds. I was surprised to find how much more willing I was to puzzle over translating something in the bird article than some other texts. (Something that Google Translate was unable to do, by the way.) This is just one of the many initiative she has taken to bring Spanish home to me. She always appears with a laptop. She is very adept at finding all sorts of things of interest like derivations or conjugations and other resources. I also find her knowledge of grammar very useful, but I had grammar in junior high school, perhaps it's no longer taught. She is always encouraging and never critical, and surprises me with how accepting she is of my deplorable Spanish. What she does in my lessons suggests that she has done a lot of teaching and understands well the strategies for learning Spanish. It is basically, as I understand it, to start where I am and go in the direction I want to go in. I don’t think you can find a better teacher than Laura. Go for it!

I needed to learn Spanish for work, and came to Laura with a very limited background from college. With her help I was able to immediately develop my reading comprehension, speaking, and writing skills. Laura structured and adapted lessons to my specific needs, and meeting with her was never a chore and never felt like “work”. Thanks to Laura I significantly improved my relationships with Spanish speaking clients and coworkers.
