Laura Mesa

Hi! I'm Laura, I'm a foreign language tutor with more than 4 years of experience teaching online and in-person English, Spanish and French classes for kids, teens and adults. I love teaching and also learning about different cultures and languages. I'm passionate about helping others achieve their goals at their own pace and find a way to connect deeply with the language they are learning. I also love music, cooking, listening to podcasts and traveling.

I like to explore with different methodologies according to the needs, goals and interests of my students, but I always try to help them improve in every language skill in a balanced way. I usually use both authentic and created materials in my classes depending on the topic and level of my student, but I always encourage them to practice daily by getting immersed in the language and I give them some tips to do so. I also like giving them homework to practice and apply what they learned.

I have a Bachelor degree in Modern Languages: English and French, 4 years of teaching as a private tutor (English and French), 2 years of online and in-person French teaching at the Alliance Française of Bogotá for kids, teens and adults, and I've also worked in France as a Spanish language assistant in middle schools.

I have always worked as a language teacher (English, French, Spanish), but I've also had some opportunities to work as an interpreter in conferences and other events. I have sung and played the guitar at some events as well.
