Laura Jane in a nutshell
In my lessons, I focus on creating an engaging and inclusive environment that empowers students to think critically and independently. I use a Socratic approach, encouraging students to question, analyze, and connect new ideas with their prior knowledge. This method fosters both confidence and problem-solving skills, equipping students to face real-life challenges. I also love using peer teaching...
In my lessons, I focus on creating an engaging and inclusive environment that empowers students to think critically and independently. I use a Socratic approach, encouraging students to question, analyze, and connect new ideas with their prior knowledge. This method fosters both confidence and problem-solving skills, equipping students to face real-life challenges. I also love using peer teaching, where students explain concepts to their classmates, which reinforces their own understanding and boosts self-confidence.

My experience in British international schools across Qatar, Shanghai, Italy, and Prague has allowed me to teach children from diverse cultural backgrounds. I always strive to tailor lessons to meet individual needs, particularly for bilingual or EAL students, by using visual, interactive resources and differentiated tasks. Positive reinforcement is key in my behaviour management approach, where I encourage children to take ownership of their learning and behaviour in a supportive atmosphere.

In my lessons, students feel safe, respected, and inspired to explore new ideas. Whether teaching online or in the classroom, I ensure my lessons are dynamic, fun, and filled with opportunities for active participation. With my background in yoga and mindfulness, I also integrate moments for reflection and creativity, helping students stay focused and engaged throughout the learning process.

I cannot praise Laura Jane highly enough: as a family we have so much to thank her for. She tutored my daughter twice weekly for 14 months, ahead of an important private school entrance exam. During that time, not only did my daughter's English skills progress beyond our expectations, but her self esteem and social confidence also rose. By the time of the examination, my daughter was well prepared, relaxed and confident. Needless to say, she passed, and is now doing well in a super school where she's very happy! Laura Jane is a skilled and experienced teacher, a wonderfully kind and empathetic human being and I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her as a tutor.

We first met Miss Laura during distance learning when she was tutoring online. She has a real knack for connecting with kids, especially those learning English as a second language, thanks to her experience in international schools. Her lessons were always fun and really focused on what our daughter was into, which made learning not only effective but also enjoyable. Our daughter couldn’t wait for the next lesson and loved how Miss Laura made everything so interactive and interesting. Miss Laura also put a lot of effort into giving us detailed feedback. She would thoroughly mark our daughter’s homework and classwork, giving us clear insights into what she was doing well and where she could improve. On top of that, Miss Laura offered some great tips for helping our daughter continue progressing. Thanks to Miss Laura, our daughter’s confidence and love for learning have grown so much. It’s really helped her start the new school year feeling much more comfortable with her English skill
