"Honor is really great to work with and challenges me yet makes the classes fun! She is patient but continues to give me work that is rewarding and I feel
like I'm slowly starting to get it...hebrew is hard but if it weren't for her great attitude and patient demeanor I would be lost. I'm going to get more classes!"

"I have worked with Laurel for several years for editing and language projects. She is warm, patient, professional, and very efficient. She sees problems q
uickly without making you feel hurried or overwhelmed, but when it comes to meeting deadlines she gives just the right amount of support and encouragement. Laurel is excellent at finding your own pace and I know that many many people can benefit from her services, for learning English as well as perfecting anything you've written."

Hello!
I have been teaching on and off for many years, usually on a one-to-one basis. I have taught teenagers and adults. I tailor my lessons to each student's individual needs and I am always ready to go above and beyond the basic lesson. I try to make learning a language fun, through news, stories, and songs.
My graduate educational background is in architecture, followed by an MBA in finance.
My native language is English; I learned French when I was nine years old and attended my first French school. Until my MBA, my degrees were all French: the high school diploma (Baccalauréat) and my architecture degree. I also attended high school in Germany, in a German high school, for several years.
