Laura is a fantastic teacher! She is very easy to talk with, very positive, and very supportive. She is great at helping learners through both casual conversational practice as well as providing good instruction on grammar points, ver conjugation, irregular verbs, and more. She provides fun, easy to use materials that really help emphasize the lessons outside of class. Her attitude is always positive and her aim is to help, never criticize. I highly recommend Laura as your Spanish teacher.
Ian

I’ve been studying Spanish with Laura for 14 months. Laura helped me to overcome the speaking block (fear of speaking) in Spanish which I thought would be really hard if not impossible. Her classes are always really vivid with interesting dives in Spanish / Colombian culture. Laura’s proficiency, attentiveness, positive attitude and cheerful personality make me look forward to each class. I began to occasionally think in Spanish and my mental translations from English (which is not my mother language) to Spanish are constantly improving. I would highly recommend Laura to everyone who wants to start learning or improve their Spanish.
