About Laurel
I am a curious, keen teacher with a BA cum laude in Asian Studies and history from Pomona College, a secondary-level US teaching qualification in English and History and a Master's in Psychology with distinction from the University of Glasgow.
I enjoy supporting others in their personal journeys and foster a growth mindset. I have lived in several East Asian countries (China, Japan and Vietnam), since I majored in Asian History as an undergraduate. I now reside in Scotland.
I have taught students of all ages (primary, secondary and university students) and abilities online and in-person for many years, including neurodivergent language learners. I am confident I can help meet your language-learning goals.
| Education & Qualifications |
Strong humanities background with research in history and social sciences:
• MSc in Psychological Studies (conversion) with distinction – University of Glasgow
• Secondary Education (7-12) in English and History (2021) - Point Park University
• Fulbright Fellow at Ritsumeikan University, Kyōto, 2018-2019
• BA in Asian Studies and History (distinction in both majors) cum laude – Pomona College (2018)
• Summer semester coursework in modern Japanese - Columbia University Kyōto Consortium for Japanese Studies at Dōshisha University (2016)
| Interests & Learning Philosophy |
I enjoy connecting with learners from around the world and will make an effort to tailor self-development practices based on your unique goals and stated interests.
I have helped students earn admission to top schools in the US (Ivy and peers) and abroad, and I gain a lot of satisfaction in seeing students progress in their individual development, whether through demonstrated results in standardized tests, quantifiable improvements in language ability or being able to read and understand media in the source language.
In my spare time, I like cooking, exploring art and cinema, reading, running and writing.
| Language Studying Experience |
I have studied French in high (secondary) school; Ancient Greek, Japanese, Korean and Latin at university; currently, I am working on learning Mandarin Chinese. I'd like to work on my basic Cantonese.
