After graduating from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, with two Bachelor’s degrees, Jo Jones headed straight into her teaching career as an English Teacher. Jo has a wealth of experience teaching English to people of all ages and to people from a diverse range of backgrounds. Jo has taught in both primary and secondary schools in Australia as well as in coaching colleges (similar to “cram schools”) in Sydney. A large proportion of her students have had English as a Second Language and this has fuelled her passion for helping foreigners learn English.
One of Jo’s most interesting and rewarding positions was as a Tutor with Bond University on Australia’s Gold Coast teaching a subject she helped develop: Business Communication Skills. This course was aimed at helping business people improve their communication skills in English. Jo prided herself on ensuring every single one of her students was provided with personalised, detailed feedback in order to guarantee progress in the course.
Jo’s passion to help business people improve their English communication skills is still as strong as ever and she is extremely happy to head up BRIDGEOVER’s wonderful new course.
