Hello! My name is Jo McGrath, and I’m an experienced ESL teacher from Ireland currently living in Italy. I have over 10 years of teaching experience working with children, teenagers, and adults from a wide range of cultural backgrounds.

I specialize in IELTS preparation, Cambridge ESL (A2–C1), and Cambridge GCSE and A Level courses, and I have successfully helped over 50 students achieve their target scores and improve their English with confidence.

My teaching style is warm, friendly, and highly interactive. I believe students learn best when lessons are engaging and supportive, so I tailor every lesson to each student’s individual needs.

I also integrate AI-powered tools into my teaching to provide personalized feedback, targeted practice, and extra support outside of lessons, helping you make faster and more effective progress.

Over the years, I’ve taught both online and in classrooms across Europe and Asia, including exam preparation courses, conversation classes, and grammar and writing lessons. My background in psychology also helps me understand how students learn and stay motivated.

Whether you want to improve your speaking confidence, prepare for IELTS or Cambridge exams, or develop your grammar and writing, I design personalized, goal-oriented lessons with exam strategies, targeted practice, and detailed feedback to ensure you make clear, measurable progress.

Book a lesson with me, and let’s work together to build your confidence and achieve your English goals. I look forward to meeting you!
