Hello everyone! I am Laura from England in the United Kingdom.

I am an experienced Teacher and have been teaching for 10 years now, 7 in UK schools and 3 online. I have worked with children aged 4 -11 in various year groups. I have been on multiple phonics and reading training courses and have taught children how to read for years. I am a very calm but confident teacher and love to see children progress through their learning. 

I am also a fully qualified Emotional Literacy Support Assistant and have been working with children in a primary school ages 5-11 for the last 8 years helping with all aspects of their emotional literacy. I have worked with both groups and individuals depending on their individual needs. I have experience in behaviour management, anger, anxiety, bullying, relationship building, self-esteem and more. 

I was a Mental Health First Aider in my last practice and hold a Level 3 Teaching Assistant Qualification, Level 3 Health and Social Care Qualification, Art Therapy Trained and I have almost completed my Child Psychology Degree. I also have a Level 5 TESOL certification. 

 I believe children should have fun whilst learning; as happy, confident children are more likely to succeed in what they set out to achieve. 

Fun fact about me - I have just moved to Turkey to experience new culture and I cannot wait to share my passion and expertise with children from all over the world with Outschool.
