Hello!
My name is Jo and I live in the beautiful city of Brisbane! I have lived here for 10 years, but I am originally from the UK and speak with a neutral English accent.
I teach at a prestigious university in Brisbane helping students improve their English before starting their university programme.
I love 'bush walking' which means walking in the countryside. I also love travel and my hobby is studying and practising SpanishMe as a Teacher
I have been a qualified English language teacher for over 25 years.
I have a wealth of experience teaching many different types of English, especially Conversational English, General English, IELTS and English for Academic Purposes.
I am able to help you with all aspects of your journey to improve your English and I can teach from beginner to advanced levels.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are relaxed and friendly. We will work together at your pace, so you can build confidence and work on the areas where you need more help.
I try to keep my lessons simple. We won't be using many digital apps etc in the classroom. You can use these in your own time. I believe that the majority of students want a natural interaction with a teacher during their lesson. Therefore, I will use some material to support your learning, but the most important resource in our sessions is you and me!
I will provide clarification in the chat box where necessary as a record of vocabulary and grammar structures we use in the lesson.
I look forward to supporting you with your English learning.Certificates
