Hi, I'm Laura.

I work with people worldwide to craft effective and enjoyable learning experiences, both online and in person.

With a background in teaching and research, plus a lifelong love of learning, the BlackbirdLXD approach to creating a great learning experience is:

  • Curious: Observing, relating, reflecting, considering, and asking incisive questions.
  • Creative: Thinking laterally, looking through different lenses and making new connections.
  • Collaborative: Respecting and welcoming the valuable expertise and experience of others.

Services

We’ve worked with Laura on a range of projects and she’s always incredibly professional, brilliantly organised and super fun to work with. From pedagogical input to research to voiceovers, she brings high standards, new approaches and a rigour we all appreciate.

It was a fantastic experience working with Laura. Her expert comments and constructive feedback on my research resulted in a great end-product. It's rare to find someone so knowledgeable about teaching and research in a wide range of areas of ELT.

As a freelance writer, I worked with (or for) Laura on a number of different projects during her time at Cambridge University Press. Her knowledge, efficiency and professionalism couldn't be faulted. I hope we work together again before too long.
