Progress-Oriented, 8+ Years of Experience Teaching English! Hey there! I'm Storm (Joness), an English teacher from the U.S. (now living in Europe) who makes language learning exciting! With 10+ years of teaching, I've helped students from all over the world pass exams, master business English, and speak with real confidence. Language is all about connection with every conversation, email, and presentation being a chance to connect. That's why we focus on what matters: conversation, pronunciation, grammar, business English, writing, and reading. Whether it's IELTS strategies, sounding more natural, or learning to think in English, we'll build skills that stick. We mix grammar and vocabulary with real conversations, building confidence every step of the way. The goal? Speaking English comfortably and effortlessly. English isn't just a language: it's a gateway to new experiences and opportunities. I believe in interactive, personalized lessons, and I'm here to make the journey fun. My lessons are packed with engaging activities to prepare you for anything: interviews, daily chats, school, or IELTS. No boring drills as I tailor every lesson to your learning style. Learning a language can feel tough, but you're not alone! I'm patient, understanding, and I've been through it myself (living in Europe). I'll help you set realistic goals and build the confidence to reach them. Our first class is about getting to know your level and goals. Let's make it happen! (I only teach 15+)

IELTS, TOEFL, and General Conversation I was born and raised in the suburbs of New York City. I earned a B.A. in English Literature and Creative Writing from The University of Wisconsin- Madison. For over a decade I worked in the New York Television and Film Industry. My hobbies include watching television and film, reading, cycling, hiking, and traveling. For over a decade I have taught students of all ages and levels. My experience includes, but is not limited to, working as an IELTS teacher in Vietnam, a Conversational English Tutor at The University of Wisconsin- Madison, a New York Public School Substitute Teacher, and a Remedial Grammar teacher at a New York Community College. I believe the student should speak for about 75% of the class time. I genuinely enjoy improving my students' pronunciation. If necessary, I break down the words and syllables to the smallest sounds, so that the students know exactly what they need to improve. I do NOT teach Bu$iness English.

Learning a language can be frustrating. Especially if you feel like you’re not making progress. That’s why I make my lessons fun, interesting, and logical. I structure my lessons in a way that helps you build upon the vocabulary and grammar that you already know. I also provide resources and written transcripts to help you review. That way, you can look back and see your progress. I use scientifically proven study methods, such as spaced repetition and active recall to make our time together efficient and effective.

I am from Guangzhou, a city in south China.I am a native speaker of Mandarin and Cantonese. I mainly teach international students. In the class, I teach the language and share cultural and historical knowledge. I already have 6 years of experience in online teaching, with certification to teach Chinese and English to adults and children. Also, I have completed IELTS teacher training courses with a certificate. When I lived in New Zealand for a working holiday, I realized that learning their language is always the best way to know more about different cultures. That's why I want to help people who learn about the Chinese language and culture. At the same time, I am committed to supporting Chinese students in improving their spoken English and preparing them for studying and working in an English language environment. We can discuss whatever you need help with, whether reading, writing, listening, or speaking in the class.I like to personalize the content to suit better topics that you are interested in and keep you engaged. I used to work in the retail and management industry and enjoy communicating with people. We would have many topics for our conversation, such as travel, business, daily life, etc. I hope my class can make you feel comfortable practicing as much as possible. Materials such as PPT files, website articles, or language videos are provided. In addition, after class, there will have homework to guide your study if you like.

    I started having lessons with Abby before I began working in the U.S., and they've been super helpful. After talking about my goals and situation, she prepared customized lesson materials for me. We did about fifteen lessons using them and the they were exactly what I needed. She provided lesson notes in Google Docs so that I can review them later. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their English, especially those who have specific needs or goals. I'm looking forward to our future lessons. Thanks Abby!

    Eja is an amazing teacher! I’ve had more than 10 lessons with her since July, and I can already see a huge difference in my English. I use English every day at work, and not only do I feel much more confident, but my coworkers have also noticed my progress! Her lessons are completely personalized, and she explains everything step by step with patience and without any judgment. She brings great supporting materials, gives constant feedback, and pays attention to even the smallest details, from pronunciation to making your sentences sound more natural. What I love most is that you can actually see your progress. You always know what you’re improving and what you still need to work on. She also has such a wonderful energy that makes you feel comfortable speaking and making mistakes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IELTS exam?

IELTS, or the International English Language Testing System, is a standardized test designed to assess the language proficiency of individuals who want to study, work, or immigrate to English-speaking countries. The IELTS exam consists of four modules: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
There is a distinction between IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training. IELTS Academic is typically for individuals applying to higher education institutions, while IELTS General Training is often used for immigration purposes or for entry into vocational training programs.

What is the format of the IELTS exam?

The IELTS (International English Language Testing System) exam consists of four modules: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. Each module assesses different language skills and is designed to evaluate a candidate’s English proficiency comprehensively.
Listening: The Listening module consists of four sections, each with 10 questions. The recordings are played only once. The recordings include conversations, monologues, and discussions about everyday situations, academic topics, and social contexts. This module lasts for approximately 30 minutes.
Reading: The Reading module has three sections, with a total of 40 questions. Texts are taken from books, newspapers, magazines, and online sources. The texts vary in style and complexity, ranging from descriptive and factual to argumentative and analytical. Questions may include multiple-choice, matching, and True/False questions. This module lasts for 60 minutes.
Writing: The Writing module is divided into two tasks: Task 1 (Report Writing for Academic/General Training) and Task 2 (Essay Writing). Task 1 (Academic) includes describing and interpreting visual data (graphs, tables, charts, diagrams). Task 1 (General Training) includes a letter based on a given situation. Task 2 (Academic and General Training) includes an essay responding to a point of view, argument, or problem. This task assesses the ability to present and justify an opinion and discuss ideas. This module lasts for 60 minutes.
Speaking: The Speaking module consists of three parts: Introduction and Interview, Long Turn, and Discussion. Introduction and interview (4-5 minutes) include general questions about familiar topics such as hobbies, family, work, and studies. Long Turn (3-4 minutes) involves a task card with a topic, and the candidate has 1 minute to prepare and take notes before speaking on the topic given. Discussion (4-5 minutes) includes a more in-depth discussion of the topic in Part 2. This section explores the candidate’s ability to express and justify opinions. This module lasts for around 11 to 14 minutes.

For how long the IELTS score is valid?

IELTS scores are generally valid for two years from the test date. There is no pass or fail in the IELTS exam. Institutions and organizations set their own score requirements, and what is considered a good score may vary.
There is no negative marking in the IELTS exam. Test takers are not penalized for incorrect answers. If you don’t qualify, you can retake the IELTS exam as often as you wish. However, there is no specified waiting period between test sittings.

How can I maximize my IELTS scores?

Familiarize yourself with the format of each module and the types of questions you will encounter. Work on enhancing your overall English language proficiency. Focus on vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, as these aspects are assessed in multiple modules.
Build a diverse vocabulary by reading various materials such as newspapers, articles, and academic texts. This will help in the reading section and in expressing ideas more precisely in the writing and speaking module. Develop your writing skills by practicing essays and report writing. Pay attention to task response, coherence, and cohesion. Practice under timed conditions to simulate the exam environment.
Allocate specific amounts of time for each task in the Writing section. Develop a plan for organizing your ideas and writing efficiently within the time constraints. Listen to a variety of English accents and practice note-taking. Focus on understanding the main ideas, supporting details, and the speaker’s attitude.

How should I prepare for the IELTS exam?

Preparation for the IELTS exam involves familiarizing yourself with the test format, practicing with sample questions, and improving your English language skills. Many candidates find it helpful to take IELTS preparation courses or work with tutors.
