    (19)
    My background in English language training is extensive. I have a B.A. in English Literature, Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certification, along with ten years teaching experience in Europe and the Middle East. I also hold a MSc. in Biological Sciences. As a teacher, I recognize that all students have a predominant learning style, so I always work with each person as an individual, tailoring our lessons to discover and promote their innate abilities and interests. My area of special expertise is writing, I have published papers in academic journals, newspapers and popular magazines, as well as a novel. I can help anyone master the skill of expressing themselves effectively. I love grammar and can make it fun and easy to learn. These are areas of language training in which I excel: • Grammar • Reading Literacy (for both native speakers and ESL learners) • Business and Vocational English • Creative and Expository Writing • English Conversation • Exam Preparation (TOEFL, IELTS, MCAT) • Editing and Proofreading

    My son took Laurel ‘a writing lesson yesterday and he likes the teacher. He realized his problems in writing. Today, when he was doing his homework, he told me that he applied the skills Laurel taught him to his writing. Thank you very much. I hope he can learn more from you.
