Meet Lori

Lori Baker

Founder • English Language Coach

Lori founded Lori's Language Lab around a simple belief: learning English should feel personal, practical, and connected to the life each student is actually trying to build.

Her approach goes beyond grammar and vocabulary. Lessons are shaped around the person behind the goal, whether that means speaking more confidently at work, navigating life in the United States, succeeding in school, or feeling more comfortable in everyday conversations.

As the Language Lab has grown, Lori has built a team with different backgrounds and areas of focus so students can receive support that better matches their age, learning needs, and goals. That personal connection remains at the center of everything the team does.
