About Joana

Years of experience helping students build confidence in English.

Certified by the University of Cambridge, with a specialisation in teaching Young Learners and adolescents, I have been working with children, young people, and adults since 2012. I believe that learning English is more than mastering a language — it's about gaining confidence, opening doors, and discovering new perspectives. Every student has their own pace. Every lesson, its own purpose.

Cambridge Certified Young Learners Specialist Since 2012
