English (Foreign Language) and Study Skills Tuition in Milton Keynes

Hello, I'm Joanna and I teach English language, and study skills (for all subjects). I also help with CV writing.

I currently work full-time as a study skills tutor mainly in Higher Education for Open University, London Metropolitan and SOAS University of London students. I was previously an Academic Educational Adviser for the Open University in which I provided in depth information, advice and guidance for students entering and continuing Higher Education.

Tutoring Experience

Over the past 20 years, I have worked in many one to one teaching and support roles which has given me a tremendous experience of working with adult learners, children and with learners with disabilities. My support and tuition has taken place in various subject areas: in ESOL classes, in literacy and numeracy and in a wide range of academic subjects as a study skills tutor.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is student-centred: I take time to get to know how you like to learn and what you want to achieve. From my working roles and personal life, I have a good understanding of how to help students balance studying with personal responsibilities and overcome any barriers to learning. My calm, patient and empathetic approach has frequently been commented on by both students and colleagues.
