Testimonials

She is supportive, so I can ask a lot of question. And her answer and explanation are always easy to understand.

Michi (Doctor)Japan

Joan helped me with a medical document (editing and proofreading) – and I can say that she’s professional, punctual and nice and friendly in general. Her suggestions and corrections were very helpful, and she was very patient with my attempts to explain some details in my broken English. I strongly recommend her as an editor and a teacher! If you need someone to help you with medical English, Joan is the person you’re looking for.

KiraRussia

When I booked lesson with Joan, I was looking for someone, who can really know the medical field and give me tips for everyday practice. I needed to train my speaking skill and to feel more comfortable in real life scenario. Moreover, I had to prepare for the OET exam and focus on my weaknesses.

Joan is professional, punctual, well-prepared, well-organised, clear, easygoing, smiling. Lessons with Joan were comprehensive and she helped me to be able to deal with everyday medical English.

I suggest working with Joan if you want a real doctor, who is also a really good teacher. The best result achieved from working with her was passing the OET exam at the first attempt. If you want to learn Medical English in an enjoyable and effective way choose Joan!

Shqipe (Pharmacist)Kosovo

I feel relaxed and comfortable in her classes, which is very important. I have been gaining more confidence in my communication skills and it has let me learn faster.

Words to describe Joan and her service:

Supportive, encouraging empathetic, friendly, nice and lovely

An excellent atmosphere to learn in.

Mauricio (Doctor)Chile

What I valued the most from the course was that she gave me an insight into medical English which is hard to learn from any textbook or ordinary English course. Moreover, she taught me some words in daily conversations which sound much more natural than those technical terms I learnt from books.

I feel more natural speaking in English and it sounds less odd when I ask my patients questions.

The words that I would use to describe the service are helpful, caring and tailor made. I would highly recommend Joan if you are in the medical field but not a native English speaker. She provides many ideas on how to speak more naturally and politely to English speaking patients.
