Joanne Taylor

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.

My English journey with Joanne has reached 100 lessons! The lessons with Joanne are always inspiring, interesting and informative. She introduces many poems, and I really enjoy reading them and discussing them with her. I also found that my writing skills are improved a lot. I am quite satisfied with my English progress and love reading poetry. :)

Nice talking as always. We talked about various issues by using the BBC interview with Zadie Smith. In addition, we talked about a film ‘perfect days’ , the setting of which is Asakusa, Tokyo where I am living. Fascinating!

Joanne is an amazing teacher! She is always ready with the materials, examples, and she answers all my questions. She's also funny, very friendly, and professional at the same time.

Stimulating! We talked about issues which I tackle in the workplace and current issues. In addition, about an ethnic and ideological group, such as Maoists in India!

Brilliant, we talked about my recent reading, a multicultural fiction called White teeth by Zadie Smith and some books on cultural anthropology and history. Really stimulating! Thanks.
