I have had the pleasure to work with Jo, who’s an incredibly hardworking and helpful colleague. Her attention to detail and guidance when reviewing my funding applications helped me secure funding for my PhD. I will always be grateful to Jo for her guidance and I strongly recommend reaching out to her and working with her!
Gracias, Jo!

Jo is honestly the best language teacher I’ve ever had. She’s not just good at teaching—she really cares. In our sessions, she didn’t just show me how to structure a paragraph or fix grammar mistakes. She inspired me to express myself more confidently and to enjoy the process of languages. I always left her classes feeling more motivated and somehow a little smarter.

What makes Jo so special is her personality. She’s warm, fun to talk to, and just has this amazing way of making people feel comfortable. You can be completely yourself around her, and that kind of atmosphere makes learning languages so much easier—and actually fun!

I’ve learned so much from her, not just about language, but also about how to communicate with heart. If you get the chance to take a class with Jo—do it. You’ll leave every session not just sharper, but more sure of yourself.

Johanna has been a kind, patient and enthusiastic French teacher. She tailors her lessons to the interests of her students, which has really helped my motivation and confidence. She is very encouraging and her love of language is truly infectious so you can really enjoy the journey of learning. As someone who is trilingual, Johanna appreciates and can draw out the similarities and quirks between languages to make for very effective lessons.

Johanna is a wonderful language teacher - patient, clear, thoughtful and an excellent listener. She is great at encouraging and motivating students while at the same time giving relevant and helpful feedback. She is always well-prepared, punctual and reliable. Her enthusiasm for teaching, knowledge and experience are evident in her work and she is a pleasure to spend time with! Very highly recommended indeed.

Johanna knows very well how to explain the difficulties of the language and to make them easy to understand. Her enthusiasm is contagious and so her lessons are very interesting and fun.

Jo really helped me get to grips with it and even made me fall in love with Spanish! I can't recommend her highly enough — great at explaining things, interesting to talk to and very professional.

Johanna has been teaching my little boy French for the past few months, both in a group setting and solo, and his vocabulary and confidence has come on in leaps and bounds. She weaves in fun songs and games to help embed learning and according to him, is "very kind and patient"!. Definitely recommend as a tutor :)
