Certified CELTA teacher Language is a social activity. As such, it is important that you have the means to interact with other human beings using in this case the English language. Therefore, I want students to practice reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Furthermore, I want students to practice informal and colloquial English so as to better comprehend and communicate with native English speakers. I also believe that active participation is a fundamental part of language learning. Therefore, my goal is for students to speak as much as possible during lessons. I will not judge you but I will help you to improve your English language skills through repetition and your active participation.

You Speak. I Correct, Guide, and Help You Improve. I find the mistakes you can't hear yourself and show you how to fix them. Corrections are clear, direct, and in the moment. Every student gets access to a lesson notes website. Your corrections, vocabulary and examples are saved after each lesson. It's interactive, so you can review and practise between sessions. A teacher might correct you 30 times in one lesson. Without notes, you forget most of it by tomorrow. We work with real language and real situations. Lessons are structured but flexible, with direct correction and clear explanations. I mainly work with professionals in international environments who need to explain ideas, handle meetings, small talk and speak confidently. Conversation lessons focus on fluency. You speak freely while I correct errors and improve clarity. Structured lessons build practical vocabulary and speaking skills using targeted materials, with lessons that connect over time. Interview coaching focuses on real job interviews. We practise questions, refine answers, and improve confidence. IELTS speaking focuses on high band performance, with direct feedback on task response, coherence, and delivery. Soft skills focuses on professional communication, including meetings, explaining ideas, and speaking clearly at work. Please note: I only teach adults aged 18 and above.

We manage to complete two scenarios in half an hour, and I can see that I am gradually improving over time.

    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.
