Hi, my name is Joanna
I teach English language and literacy skills to children and adults—online and in person.
I create lessons that are engaging and focus on your interests and needs.
Learning to read and speak English isn’t easy. It takes hard work, persistence, and dedication. I would love to help you with this important goal.
“Her work is a testament to her dedication and commitment to making the world a better place for everyone.”
