Hey there! I’m Storm (Joness), a certified IELTS/TOEFL specialist from the U.S. (now living in Europe) who makes language learning exciting!
With 8+ years of teaching, I help adults ace exams, master business English, and speak confidently. Language is all about connection: we can focus on conversation (small talk is key!), pronunciation, grammar, business English, writing, and reading. Whether it’s IELTS strategies, natural pronunciation, or thinking in English — Let’s build skills that stick.
English isn’t just a language, it’s a gateway to new experiences! Hope to talk to you soon!Me as a Teacher
Learning a new language—or even perfecting one—can feel like a challenge, but guess what? You’re not in this alone! I’m patient, understanding, and here to help you set realistic goals while building the confidence and skills to achieve them. Even if you’re already fluent, keeping your English sharp is key (trust me, I know from my own language-learning journey!).
My lessons are packed with engaging activities to get you ready for anything—school, job interviews, daily chats, or IELTS. No boring drills here! I tailor lessons to your learning style, making them fun, effective, and totally worth your time. Let’s make English an adventure—see you soon!
* I only teach adults.My lessons & teaching style
Your lessons? Unique to YOU! Our first class is all about getting to know where you’re at, what your goals are, and how we can achieve them together. I love helping students expand their vocabulary, but more importantly, I’ll help you think in English—so those new words and grammar rules actually stick!
We’ll mix things up with fun grammar and vocabulary lessons, then put them into action through real conversations. I’ll set up discussions where you naturally use what you’ve learned, building your confidence every step of the way. The goal? To have you speaking English comfortably and effortlessly. Let’s make it happen!My teaching material
