Real English with Lara

Casual conversations to build fluency

About Lara

I have been teaching online since November 2021. I have taught over 10,000 classes to over 2,000 students and have a 5.0 rating. I was born in California but have been living in Virginia for over 20 years. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, Master of Theological Studies, and 120-Hour TESOL Certificate.

I have worked with students of all ages at every level. Currently, I offer classes to children and adults at the intermediate level and up. It is such a joy to meet each person and help them develop and improve their English. Teaching ESL also allows me to do three things I love: make a genuine connection with others, help others, and make their day brighter. 

My goal is to provide support to each and every person. I want our lessons to be beneficial and fun. I enjoy photography, art, and learning about the world. I look forward to learning more about you and what brings you joy. I hope we can meet soon! 

ESL Tutoring Services

Conversational English

I provide conversation classes in a relaxed and fun manner. I enjoy discussing a wide variety of topics. We can talk about your interests, current events, or whatever is on your mind that day. My first goal is to understand your message and then I will help you express it. I want to be a resource for you as you develop or maintain your English fluency.   

Courses

I offer lessons with different curricula depending on the needs of the learner. I also supplement the courses by providing helpful expressions, idioms, and cultural context when needed. Most importantly, I want each person to have a good time. I am here to support and help you gain new knowledge and understanding through each lesson. 

Reading Practice

We can focus on developing reading skills. We can also discuss the material and ask each other questions about it. Using a variety of resources can help develop and improve pronunciation, vocabulary knowledge, and inspire many interesting discussions.
