Laura Marks
Founder and Director
I consider myself very lucky, as I come from a mixed family, English and Spanish. Some of my best memories are from the summer holidays when I was little and it was time to visit my grandparents in Manchester, England. Are you familiar with the sweet sherbet? Have you ever had a Sunday roast? Have you tried the lovely scones with clotted cream and jam for afternoon tea by the river in Chester? I’ve had amazing experiences that have shaped who I am today and that is what I want to pass on to the students in my own school.
Because of my early interest in English, I took the Cambridge English Qualifications Exams and also the CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) from the University of Cambridge. For more than 10 years I have worked as a teacher and coordinator in many English-speaking schools and academies in Barcelona and in Bournemouth, England. Back in 2017 I decided to put all my knowledge and experience into practice at English Of Course!

Languages in general and English in particular have been my main interest since I started school. Maybe it is because I grew up being bilingual (speaking Catalan and Spanish), that I have a special love for languages. English, of course, is the language that attracts me the most and that is why I decided on studying for the Translation and Interpretation degree and later the MA in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), which I passed with Distinction at the University of Liverpool.
During the four years my degree lasted, I volunteered tutoring children with learning problems. Furthermore, every summer I worked as a leisure instructor and coordinator in an English summer camp in Spain. It was then that I realized how much I enjoyed teaching and how useful I could be for children. Once my Degree was finished, I was given a post as the Spanish Language Assistant in the Wallace High School in Lisburn, Northern Ireland and then as a Business Teacher in Liverpool. Back in Barcelona, I started coordinating language schools and leading groups of teachers, where I gained enough experience to run my own school.
