About Johanna
Hailing from Buenos Aires, I received a fully bilingual education in French and Spanish at the Lycée Franco-Argentin, where I also studied English. The pleasure of learning languages from an early age led me to complete degrees in language education, literature and linguistics, and I’m currently a PhD student in Linguistics at the University of Edinburgh.
As a researcher, I am particularly interested in how we acquire language as children and adults, and whether certain linguistic patterns are easier or harder to learn. As a language teacher, I take pleasure in helping students with the challenges posed by the characteristics of their first language when learning a new one. If you’re an English-speaking learner of Spanish, you’re likely to despair at some point or another at the distinctions between “ser” y “estar” and the intricacies of grammatical gender. But fear not, we can work on these together!
I am myself a keen language learner and have taken courses in Italian, Portuguese, German, and Czech. As a language student as much as a teacher, I know that learning a new language can be both thrilling and daunting, so I will do my very best to make you feel at ease in your language journey.

My approach to learning is student-centred and student-led: I believe knowledge is built through exchanges between teacher and learner, not something that the former passes on to the latter. I have probably learnt from my students as much as they have from me! Our sessions will be driven by your own objectives and motivations to learn Spanish. Whether you’re preparing for an exam, looking to improve your speaking skills, interested in reading novels in Spanish, or want to study a new language for the pure pleasure of it, I will provide you with the tools and materials that are best suited to your goals. I have taught students of all age groups and with diverse backgrounds, offering children an early exposure to Spanish through storybooks and songs, helping young visitors to Latin America navigate daily life exchanges, and assisting adult learners seeking to brush up on their school Spanish. Each educational experience has been unique, such as all learners are. In our first free lesson we will get to know each other and establish the regime and methodology that suit you best, be it informal conversational exchanges, going over practice papers for your Highers, following a textbook of your choice, or reading magazine articles together. I look forward to working with you and help you achieve your language learning goals, whatever they are!

I have had the pleasure to work with Jo, who’s an incredibly hardworking and helpful colleague. Her attention to detail and guidance when reviewing my funding applications helped me secure funding for my PhD. I will always be grateful to Jo for her guidance and I strongly recommend reaching out to her and working with her!
Gracias, Jo!Jo is honestly the best language teacher I’ve ever had. She’s not just good at teaching—she really cares. In our sessions, she didn’t just show me how to structure a paragraph or fix grammar mistakes. She inspired me to express myself more confidently and to enjoy the process of languages. I always left her classes feeling more motivated and somehow a little smarter.
What makes Jo so special is her personality. She’s warm, fun to talk to, and just has this amazing way of making people feel comfortable. You can be completely yourself around her, and that kind of atmosphere makes learning languages so much easier—and actually fun!
I’ve learned so much from her, not just about language, but also about how to communicate with heart. If you get the chance to take a class with Jo—do it. You’ll leave every session not just sharper, but more sure of yourself.
Johanna has been a kind, patient and enthusiastic French teacher. She tailors her lessons to the interests of her students, which has really helped my motivation and confidence. She is very encouraging and her love of language is truly infectious so you can really enjoy the journey of learning. As someone who is trilingual, Johanna appreciates and can draw out the similarities and quirks between languages to make for very effective lessons.
Johanna is a wonderful language teacher - patient, clear, thoughtful and an excellent listener. She is great at encouraging and motivating students while at the same time giving relevant and helpful feedback. She is always well-prepared, punctual and reliable. Her enthusiasm for teaching, knowledge and experience are evident in her work and she is a pleasure to spend time with! Very highly recommended indeed.
Johanna knows very well how to explain the difficulties of the language and to make them easy to understand. Her enthusiasm is contagious and so her lessons are very interesting and fun.
Jo really helped me get to grips with it and even made me fall in love with Spanish! I can't recommend her highly enough — great at explaining things, interesting to talk to and very professional.
Johanna has been teaching my little boy French for the past few months, both in a group setting and solo, and his vocabulary and confidence has come on in leaps and bounds. She weaves in fun songs and games to help embed learning and according to him, is "very kind and patient"!. Definitely recommend as a tutor :)
