Jo started teaching EFL in 2008 in Barcelona, spurred on by a love of language and adventure. Since then she has taught all ages and levels of student in Spain, Italy, Colombia, England and Ireland. She says that the best language teachers are language learners and so has attempted to learn Spanish, Catalan, Italian and French, to greater and lesser success. She believes the most exciting thing about being in the classroom is going on a journey with your students and helping them grow and gain confidence. Engagement and effort are also key to learners’ success. Having gained her Delta qualification, Jo has taught English for Academic Purposes to help students gain the skills needed in order to do their Master’s in an English speaking country and also tutored students for scholarships such as the Fulbright programme. She branched out into teacher training in 2017, providing training for teachers of adults and young learners alike. She loves teacher training because, not only do we teach, but we get to analyse the mechanics of the craft we do every day and that’s fun and exciting for her.
