Laura Farage

Hello there! I'm a dedicated educator with a passion for empowering learners of all ages and backgrounds. With a diverse skill set and a wealth of experience, I specialize in English as an Additional Language (EAL) teaching, academic skills instruction, and have experience in youth mentoring.

My journey in education has been enriched by my responsibility to craft EAL courses and learning materials. I've had the privilege to design my own intensive EAL courses and specialised EAL courses such as learning English through Drama. I am an engaging facilitator and enjoy planning creative learning experiences tailored to various learning styles and needs.

One of my strengths lies in building strong relationships with my students, understanding and addressing their individual needs with empathy and patience. Whether working with children or adults, I strive to create inclusive and supportive learning environments where everyone can feel confident to learn.

My qualifications include a Masters in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) with a focus on Information and Communication Technology (ICT), additionally, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Education Studies and the Trinity Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (Cert TESOL).

I'm excited to contribute to the growth and success of learners while continuing to evolve as an educator.
