A leading expert of the Sephardic art song genre, Lori is the first ever to catalogue this repertoire that comprises Western classical settings and arrangements of the traditional Sephardic folk literature. She is also the first to create a Ladino diction guide exclusively for singers who would like to sing Sephardic songs in their original language.

I work with students ranging from teenagers to adults focusing on classical, musical theatre, and contemporary styles. Meanwhile, I perform in a diverse spectrum of styles and genres, mainly classical, musical theatre, and jazz, both in the United States and abroad.

A student’s learning experience should be fun, exciting and inspiring, as well as stimulating and challenging. I firmly believe that the teacher’s constructive feedback accelerates the learning process. Through creating a positive, energetic atmosphere, and establishing a safe, friendly environment, I always aim to encourage students to ask questions, share their thoughts and feelings in their learning process, and to exercise their creativity. These explorations are as crucial for the discovery of one’s voice as they are for the development of self-confidence and artistic expression.

I look forward to working with you!

I am a Spanish native teacher, with extensive experience teaching Spanish to foreign students at from primary and secondary levels and higher education. I have taught American and UK students over the last seven years, whilst pursuing my studies in Spain and in the United Kingdom. I was recently awarded my PhD, through which I learnt methodological aspects of teaching different types of public from different backgrounds.

My classes are dynamic and centred on the student's progress, carrying out different interactive activities, role-playing and exercises that will make the student increase his/her confidence with the use of Spanish, whilst learning grammar and vocabulary. I usually give the students the opportunity to send me writings that I correct at home, and I recommend listening activities that will help the student to improve his/her understanding of the language during lessons. My complete proficiency of the English language makes it easier for the student to ask specific questions or to understand how some expressions work in Spanish, having my English explanation at hand (in order to make them fully understand the most difficult aspect of Spanish).

If you want to improve your Spanish in a quick and efficient manner, do not hesitate to get in touch and discuss options with me.

As a native French speaker living in such a cosmopolitan and diverse city as London, I believe that a lot of people would like to learn French.
we would evaluate your level with a simple conversation to get to know each other and see if we’re compatible as a student/teacher, and start planning a timeline for your objectives.
Then I will adapt the class depending on your level, your expectations.
It could be either conversations to practice speaking, more school-oriented classes, more work-oriented ones...

Acting is not just for the stage — it can also be a powerful tool for personal development. There are many wonderful exercises that help you connect with yourself, your body, your emotions, and your energy.
Have you ever wondered why your voice shakes, or why you get a stomach ache before speaking in public?
It’s not all in your head — it’s a complex mind–body connection.

I have a background in theatre, having studied theatre directing and completing my PhD in 2015. Even during my studies, I was fascinated by acting exercises and attended many professional training sessions on the subject.

Gradually, I began teaching. My clients were not only artists, but also managers, IT professionals, doctors, teachers, and many others. I quickly realized how valuable these exercises are for both professional and personal development.

Over the years, I ran a school called everydayACTOR in Bratislava, where I taught more than 2,500 clients.

Currently, I teach young teachers at KPH Wien how to integrate drama into their lessons.

I also offer private coaching to the public. If you’d like to improve your confidence, presence, or communication skills, I would love to work with you!
