Currently living in beautiful Malaga, Spain.
I have been teaching on Italki for akmost 4 years. My degree is in English.
The majority of my career has been either Teaching English or caring for elderly people/ disabled people.
I know how challenging learning a new language is because at the moment I am B2 in Spanish , and it is so hard to not make mistakes!
I enjoy hiking with my friends, having Tapas, dancing and travel.
Interested in social justice and engage in activism for fair health care.
I love meeting students from across the world and am knowledgeable regarding politics, current affairs and many interesting topics. I am an excellent listener.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I’ve taught English in Peru, Argentina, and Spain, and run Creative Writing workshops in the UK, helping everyone from older learners to those with learning disabilities tell their stories.
Patient, intuitive, and empathetic, I quickly understand what my students need and create a calm, engaging space where confidence grows. My classes blend clear communication, variety, and plenty of encouragement.
As a skilled speaker, freelance writer, and avid reader, I bring rich, eclectic resources to every lesson—so you’ll learn, enjoy, and make real progress.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
With 11 years of teaching experience, I tailor every lesson to my students’ personality, confidence, age, and fluency. I prepare thoroughly but also bring spontaneity, keeping classes fun, varied, and interactive—with a healthy balance of speaking and listening.
I use a wide range of engaging materials—articles, videos, grammar resources, games, and more—always relevant to your interests and goals. My passion for English fuels every session, so you stay motivated, challenged, and enjoying the journey.
Thanks to Joan, I feel at ease when I try to speak English. She's kind, patient, and helpful. Even if you can't clearly explain what you want to say, she immediately understands and helps you.

Good lesson and feedback. Joan suggested topics and materials tailored to my interests and needs, identifying possible exercises which help me upgrade my English, which is somewhat out of shape.
