Joy

Hello! My name is Joy, and I have taught English in Italy and the UK. I studied English Literature at university, then worked in culture organisations in the UK, including museums, theatres and a literary agency. I am also a creative writer and journalist, and my writing is published in magazines in the US and UK. I started teaching English later in life, and it is the best job I have ever had! I love to meet students from all over the world and help them learn English using fun and creative activities. I have experience teaching General English to young learners and adults, as well as KET and PET exam preparation classes. Alongside teaching English, I am writing my second book, supported by a grant from Arts Council England. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading books, watching films, doing yoga and walking in the beautiful British countryside.
