Jo Baffour

My teaching approach focuses on learning, practical application and conversation. I emphasise new vocabulary and concepts and understanding language structure and grammar, reinforcing learning through repetition and targeted exercises.

Lessons should be adapted to the individual. Whether you prefer a more structured approach or conversational practice, I am happy to tailor our sessions to your learning style and objectives.

I think there is great importance on continuity between lessons. I have a strong memory, so we can revisit previous topics and identify areas for improvement and building on what we have already covered. I can incorporate literature, speeches, articles and other interesting reading into lessons to develop vocabulary if you would like.

I understand that confidence can be one of the biggest barriers to learning a new language, particularly when using English in professional or unfamiliar environments. I aim to create a relaxed, encouraging and positive learning environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, ask questions and challenge yourselves.

My goal is not simply to teach you English, but to help you feel confident using it independently!
