About Me

italki teacher since Jul 29, 2019

InterestsWritingReadingHistory

I have a Bachelor's degree in English and writing, worked 23 years as a paralegal and continue to freelance write. I stay current with world events and my reading and writing focus on political-socio-economics, history, literature and philosophy.

Me as a Teacher

With me, students continually progress into greater English fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and structure. Lessons are tailored to each student's needs and goals, and focus on moving from simple to complex. During lessons I introduce new vocabulary, and correct grammar and pronunciation. I use online tools, including discussion topics and questions, current news and the student's interests. I give lessons in comprehending and appreciating literature. I give writing lessons, including first drafts to completion of essays and stories, editing previously written documents and preparation of cover letters, resumes and CVs.

My lessons & teaching style

Lessons are individually, comprehensively and progressively structured to improve fluency in spoken and written English. If you want to improve your English language arts, I very much want to teach you.

I truly enjoy taking classes with Ms. Joan ! Her lessons are always engaging and allow me to practice many different aspects of English. Sometimes, when you've been learning English for a while, you start craving new challenges, and Joan really provides that. She not only helps me improve my speaking skills, but also introduces thought-provoking topics like logical fallacies, which connect to reasoning and critical thinking. I find those discussions especially fascinating, as they make my thinking and teach me how to express complex ideas more clearly in English.

The teacher’a work is excellent. There is always a topic to talk about, she makes you different interesting questions and not only corrects your pronunciation, but also gives you new vocabulary to learn. Excellent!
