I was born in Peru and was raised in New York City. I have a BA in Spanish Literature from Queens College. I have worked as a Spanish High School teacher, as well as, an Executive Assistant in the financial sector. I also speak Portuguese, Italian and French.

I bring to the table different experiences in the academic, as well as, the corporate world and both have utilized my skills as a teacher, translator and interpreter. I am patient, creative and flexible. I want to get to know the person so that I can learn how they learn a language. Everyone is different. The session will be set up for him/her alone and their respective needs. I have taught from ages 8 - 45 and I love a challenge. There is nothing more rewarding than having a student finally achieve their goal of speaking and understanding a language and its nuances.

I do hope you contact me so that I can show you my expertise as a Spanish Teacher.

Approved Subjects

Spanish

Spanish

I was born in Peru, South America and my expertise as a teacher is in Spanish. I have taught Spanish to students from 8 years of age to adulthood. I pride myself in tailoring my classes to the student's specific needs. This is what makes it challenging and rewarding. Learning a language is fun and exciting and I like to express that in my classes.
Yoga

Yoga

I started my interest in Yoga at the age of 14 by buying a little Yoga book which embarked me on a path that would make me an Anusara Yoga Teacher, as well as, a Meditation Teacher. I have taught Meditation and Yoga privately for over 7 years which included Alzheimer patients in a nursing home. Anusara Yoga is a very heart-centered yoga. It improves your flexibility, balance, strength and releases stress. This also internally guides you to be a better human being.

A wonderful teacher

I’m so glad to have discovered Laura D. She is so kind and worked so well with my 14 year old son on Spanish 2. She was proactive in her teaching, not just going over his existing work but going beyond. He happily followed all her directions. At the end of the session, my son’s comment was “that was fun!”

Laura prepared a lesson based on my needs and interests. She gave me plenty of opportunities to practice and gave me good feedback, helping me improve and also not stress.

Michelle, 3 lessons with Laura

Great first lesson!

Laura was patient and warm. She put me at ease right away, and I felt more confident to practice conversing in Spanish. She slowed down and stopped to go over vocabulary when needed.

Knowledgeable and pleasure to work with

Ahead of my trip to Colombia, Laura gave me a quick refresher lesson on common Spanish language phrases I'd need to know, colloquial phrases that don't show up in a text book, and conjugations.

Phillip, 1 lesson with Laura

Extremely Knowledgeable tutor

I had a specific request for our lesson and Laura came prepared with the right vocabulary for business professional settings. She was extremely knowledgeable and personable. She emphasized on the correct pronunciation which was key. I look forward to future sessions so she can take my Spanish to the next level.

Knowledgeable and Fun

Laura was excited about helping my son with his Spanish basics and it showed. We have only had one lesson, but my son felt comfortable with her. She related very well with my 16 year old son.
