Joanna's English Today Now
Hi! I’m Joanna
I teach practical English to adults.
Yes, grammar is important, but you don’t need to know everything about grammar to speak! And, you don’t need to learn every word in the dictionary.
Learn about 1,000 words to speak fluent English.
That’s 100 words a week
for 10 weeks!
What are your English needs?
- Shopping?
- Travel?
- Business?
- Taxi, Uber, Lyft?
- College, university?
- Job search?

From beginner to advanced—whatever your need—I can help!
I design useful lessons—just for you.

Refund policy:
I put a lot of work into tailoring lessons.
Sometimes life happens—maybe you’re sick, maybe you have other things to attend to, or maybe you just don’t feel like it—just tell me 24 hours in advance so I can plan accordingly. We can cancel or reschedule. No problem. (If you have an emergency, of course I will understand, but if you have multiple emergencies, we should pause our lessons until things calm down.)
My policy is to part from students who don’t show up.
Or, if you simply find you don’t enjoy the lessons or the lessons aren’t effective or things change or you find another teacher you like better, it’s all fine. Just let me know by email or text. If you have paid ahead of time, and for any reason cannot continue, I will refund you for all lessons you haven’t completed. No worries. Maybe you want to study on your own for a while, watch video lessons, and get back in touch with me later. Everything will be ok.

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.
Just relax and enjoy learning.
