Joanna Uba

I am a highly experienced English teacher with over 20 years of teaching in the UK and abroad, including online work with the British Council, Speak Up London, Escape Campus, and ESBM. I have taught students of all ages and levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners preparing for university and professional success. My expertise covers TESOL, IELTS, EAP, ESOL, and Business English as well as exam preparation and academic English.

My teaching philosophy is based on the belief that *there are no bad students – only teachers who have not found the right approach.That is why my lessons are student-centred and built around your goals, needs, and learning style. I use a direct approach to encourage communication from the very first lesson, focusing on practical language you can immediately apply in real-life situations.

I also strongly believe in task-based learning, where you learn by doing. My lessons involve activities, problem-solving tasks, and role plays that reflect real-world contexts. This approach not only improves your fluency and accuracy but also builds confidence and motivation. Each session is structured yet flexible, with clear objectives, interactive practice, and regular feedback to ensure visible progress.

I adapt materials and methods to suit every learner — from academic essays to workplace communication or everyday English. My goal is to make learning effective, engaging, and rewarding. With the right guidance, motivation, and tailor-made lessons, every student can succeed.
Every learner can succeed with the right guidance, motivation, and support.

I hope to see you soon !
