“Excellent ESL Teacher!”
“My niece recently came to the US from Japan to learn more about US culture and to increase her knowledge on the English language. Laura has conducted several online sessions with her and has done a fantastic job. She is very thorough and thoughtful to her teaching approach. Every lesson day my niece is excited to do classes with Laura. From my experience she is a very good ESL teacher choice.“
