Expert Teacher: exams, literature, professional communication in a supportive environment. My motivation as a teacher is to help my students be themselves in any language. We are all individuals and language is a tool for our individual expression. You may need a recognised language exam to move forward with your life, or you may want to use English for professional communication, or you might just enjoy expressing yourself in English. For those feeling anxious about their skills I have developed a framework based on cognitive awareness so that you can notice limiting beliefs and develop strategies to address language based anxieties. I will provide resources suited to your needs and can offer homework and self-study suggestions. I am student centred and love getting to know the aims and interests of my students. I have a varied background and have supported students with diverse aims. I spent eight years with an academic focus teaching English in secondary schools and helping students apply to British universities. Prior to that I supported international students at a British university enrolled on a wide range of courses from undergraduate Nutrition to a PhD in Sculpture. I have devised and run short courses for groups of students visiting the UK with cultural interests as well as helping students to develop language for specific job roles. I am experienced, organised and kind. I will prepare the lessons to suit your needs.

Joanne is a very active and friendly tutor. She always prepares suitable materials based on your needs and requests for each class. She is well-organized and professional. At the beginning of every session, she asks if I have any questions or issues with the previous lesson. At the end of each lesson, she provides a helpful summary of what we covered, including my mistakes and extra tips to follow, which I appreciate. This makes practicing the lesson clear and effective, and it's easy to revisit the material for review at any time.

Brilliant. We talked about virtue ethics by using a YouTube introduction program. It is great fun to explain books which I am reading in this topic in English , such as After Virtue by MacIntyre, though it is a bit difficult.

I've been working with Joanne for years, and I feel grateful to have her as my English teacher. She has not only introduced me to literature, especially the beauty of poetry, but has also encouraged me and helped me gain confidence in my English throughout our lessons. I can see my progress step by step, such as in my ability to write literary analysis essays. Highly recommend! 👍

Thought-invoking! We talked about various issues including Encyclical letter of Leo XIV recently issued, which discussed AI and the rule of technology. Great!
