I love scrolling around and talking about whatever catches my attention. I love to travel as well. I've been to London, Toronto, Washington D.C., Maryland, and Kuşadası, I have visited many Greek islands of course. I'm interested in psychology and spiritual life. I love children and their way of seeing the world. My favorite genres of books are children's and memoirs. I've always remembered myself helping people learn things, so I don't know what exactly makes me become a tutor for a living. I suppose I was born this way. Teaching makes me happy.
Me as a Teacher
Please, check out my YouTube channel to get an idea of my teaching style here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCInvwWepCj9--RpsjBsbimw
As a tutor, I'm patient and encouraging yet strict. However, I don't let any rule that I have set, prevent us from having fun. I have worked as an English Second Language Tutor for the last six years after I quit my job as a journalist and a digital editor with magazines and newspapers. Since then, I've been so happy thinking that teaching was always my calling. I give English lessons to little kids in Greece and Greek lessons to English speakers.
My lessons & teaching style
As a language tutor, I use a variety of sources, such as PDFs from physical books, my own YouTube videos on grammar, structure, listening, and vocabulary, as well as song lyrics and applications like Quizlet for having my students practice. I urge all of them to use what the have learned at a time without any fear. It's very important to me as a teacher, a student to build up confidence from the very beginning.

My lessons with Joanne always leave me knowing that I am making progress each week and that the steady work we do together is moving me towards fluency. I'm so grateful.

Fantastic class! We practised my reading skills and Joanne helped me improve it tremendously. She went quite a bit overtime, but she didn't want me to stop. Thank you so much! The class is always fun and time flies like crazy with her.

My partner and I had our first Greek lesson with Joanne. She's encouraging, patient, funny and made the class very enjoyable. We recommend her!

Τα ελληνικά μαθεύονται πολύ γρήγορα με την Ιωάννα, η οποία προφανώς αγαπά και κατέχει τη δική της γλώσσα. Η κουβέντα με αυτή είναι πάντα εύκολη, χαλαρή, ενδιαφέρουσα και χαρούμενη, και η Ιωάννα βοηθάει πολύ δραστήρια και προσεκτικά με τις γνώσεις ελληνικών.
