About Me
italki teacher since May 4, 2020InterestsTravelFoodEnvironment & NatureHistoryArt
I'm a skilled, flexible and professional educator with a kind, patient and encouraging attitude. I love supporting students in their English language journey and in achieving their goals - whether it be improving conversational skills, doing business presentations, applying to university, completing coursework, getting a job, moving abroad, or traveling the world.
I'm a native English speaker with a neutral U.S. American accent. I have lived in six countries, traveled to about 70, and now make my home in sunny Miami Beach, Florida.
NB: I prefer to only open my availability ~2 weeks in advance in order to minimize cancellations and rescheduling requests due to changes in schedules.Me as a Teacher
I have an Advanced Certificate of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) and over six years of experience teaching English to adults. Since 2020 I have worked with italki students from 40+ countries. Before that I taught English in China for three years: in Beijing I taught English to adults at a large, multinational language institute, and before that I instructed over 2500 students as an Oral English teacher at a public high school for one year.
I am also a US certified Elementary Education (K-6) and Exceptional Student Education (K-12) teacher and worked as a public school teacher in Miami's inner-city for several years.My lessons & teaching style
During a trial or first lesson, we can discuss your motivations for learning English and make a plan together on how to achieve your goals. We will tailor lessons to your needs and I will try my best to always make them interesting, productive and also hopefully a little fun. :)
I especially love teaching conversational English to help my students improve their real-life English skills. We can practice conversation using discussion topics, role plays, PowerPoint presentations and various articles. Lessons will always combine instruction, practice and careful error correction within a context chosen specifically for you.My teaching material

I've had the privilege of working with Johanna for over two years now. Her meticulous attention to detail, multicultural background and extensive knowledge of various subjects make her stand out as an exceptional teacher. Johanna is dedicated and always goes above and beyond to ensure that I receive personalized attention.
Johanna provided invaluable support in various business-related tasks, from proofreading, editing, rewriting documents and emails to pitching. But we also had conversational classes, where her repertoire is extensive. I really enjoyed the classes on American culture, politics, history, and cultural heritage while practicing idioms, phrasal verbs, and sounding like a native. I highly recommend Johanna as a teacher. She'll be your secret weapon.

Johanna helps me so much on my English learning journey! I have been enjoying the fun and productive lessons. By learning with Johanna, I have improved significantly on my speaking and writing. Johanna helped me on my doctoral admission interview and visa interview. I successfully accepted by my dream university this April. I am so excited and I will continue my learning with Johanna!

Having had the pleasure of attending her English classes, I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her experience shines through in every lesson, where her patience and dedication to student success are evident. She always comes prepared with a wealth of teaching materials and personalized notes. Her ability to guide students through the complexities of the English language with ease and understanding makes her an exceptional teacher.

I highly recommend lessons with Johanna, especially if like me you want to move your English level from B2 to C1. It was really hard to find a teacher who would teach me at this level instead of just having conversations.
Johanna is always very well-prepared and I can clearly see that with her help I am finally progressing. And last but not least she is an amazing and open-minded person :)
