I love teaching because I believe English is what we need to reach our goals in life no matter what we study or what we do since English invaded our lives in every aspect. I also love it because it helps me meet new people and share experiences as communication is the goal of learning any language after all.

Teaching has been a passion of mine from a very early age. I love watching people benefit and change for the better due to the education they are receiving. I started helping people benefit from Biblical topics over twenty years ago and until now I have taught other things such as life values, English, and American Sign Language. I obtained my TESOL/TEFL nine years ago to qualify me to professionally teach English as a second language. I have been actively involved in learning and teaching ASL for 15 years.

    I find my lessons with Annette extremely useful for practising the speaking component of the OET. We manage to complete two scenarios in half an hour, and I can see that I am gradually improving over time. I really enjoy working with her, and I appreciate that she often extends the lesson by a few minutes to allow us to finish reviewing the corrections or to ask me whether I need any further advice on how to improve my OET performance.

    Under Naphan’s guidance, I learned how to speak English in a relaxed way—no rush, no pressure, no particular goal. Just chatting, going wherever the conversation takes us, and talking about whatever comes to mind. And suddenly, I realized I could speak more than I ever thought I could. I’ve come to understand that my problem was never really my mouth. It was my mindset. The more relaxed I am, the more naturally the words flow. Sometimes, the less you try to achieve, the more you gain. Thank you Naphan.

    I started Business English lessons with Joanna in October through the “Let’s Talk Corporate” programme, and the course has been tailored to my job from the very first session. She took the time to understand my daily work as a database engineer in the utilities sector, then built a twelve unit course around real topics such as metering applications, Oracle PL/SQL, billing logic and system architecture. Every lesson comes with conversation cards featuring realistic role plays between colleagues, with key grammar structures highlighted in context, vocabulary lists translated into Italian and useful professional phrases. A checklist of phrases to use during each session keeps the practice focused and measurable. Joanna is receptive, encouraging and always open to feedback, adapting the lessons whenever I suggest improvements. I would highly recommend her to any professional looking for Business English that is truly relevant to their work.
