About Me
italki teacher since Jan 18, 2022
Hi everyone! I'm Joanna from Shanghai, China and I'm currently living in Canada. I am a certified English teacher in China and have taught English for 8 eights before I move to Canada. I did my Master's Degree at Western University in TESOL (Teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages) and have been working as an Academic English Program instructor at Western for more than 4 years. I am a part-time IELTS instructor too. I have 12 years' teaching experience and have worked with more than 500 international students all over the world. Hope I would have a chance to assist your English learning too! Looking forward to meeting you online!
Me as a Teacher
Teaching has always been my passion. As a teacher with international background, I know how hard it could be for students to step out of their comfort zone and try to communicate in a brand new language. I understand what the difficult points are in different learning stages only because I've been through exactly the same process like you and that's also the reason why I would be able to better assist your English learning! No matter your goal is to improve the academic skills or practice your oral speaking, I am always here to encourage and support you!
My lessons & teaching style
My class has always been fun, engaging, interactive and effective. I am able to apply different teaching methods based on individual needs and leave my students enough time to practice and process the skills learned in each lesson. I respect all cultures and have been trying to create an anxiety-free learning environment for every student. Can't wait to see you in my class!

Had a great time with Joanna in the trail class. She’s very helpful and patient. My English got stuck sometimes but she didn’t stop me right away. She encouraged me to move on which made me more confident to talk! Highly recommend this teacher!
