Helping curious, thoughtful learners speak British English with confidence.

Hi, I’m Jo, a British English teacher and content creator based just outside London. I work with adults from all over the world who speak English as a second (or third!) language and want to feel more fluent, expressive, and like themselves when they speak English.

What I offer in 2026

One to one conversation classes
Personalised sessions that are adapted to your goals, your lifestyle, and the situations you actually need English for.

A monthly group session (conversation club and bookish discussions)
A relaxed, supportive space to practise speaking with other learners, explore interesting topics, and build confidence through community.

Listening and learning content you can use between lessons
Weekly YouTube videos, blog posts, natural British expressions, and practical resources from my shop, so your English keeps moving even when life is busy.

A newsletter that feels like a friendly nudge, not a sales pitch
Tips, topics, language notes, and occasional freebies, sent with a bit of warmth and encouragement.

My Approach

I offer personalised one-to-one conversation classes that are adapted to your needs, your lifestyle, and your goals. My lessons focus on real communication, not perfection. You don’t need to sound like a textbook to express yourself clearly and powerfully.

In our sessions, we talk about things that matter:

• Your work, your relationships, your wins and your challenges..

• What’s going on in the world.

• What you’re reading, watching, or thinking about.

Expect interesting conversations, practical vocabulary, and a calm, encouraging space to practise your speaking and build genuine confidence.

Why I Do This

Before I started teaching English, I worked in mental health and that background really shapes how I teach. I bring empathy, patience, and a strong belief that learning a language is deeply personal, not just academic.

Over the past five years, I’ve worked with more than 350 learners one to one, and I’ve built a lovely community of English learners online through Instagram, YouTube, and this website.

If you’re wondering if this is for you

You’ll probably feel at home here if you:

• are an intermediate to advanced learner

• want British English that sounds natural, not robotic

• care about confidence, self expression, and real connection

• enjoy thoughtful conversation and meaningful topics

• want support, structure, and gentle momentum

Let’s Work Together

If you’d like to practise speaking with me, you can book a conversation class and we’ll talk about what you need.

If you have any questions you can send me an email at jo@learnenglishwithjo.co.uk

I’m looking forward to hearing from you
