About Joan

Hello there!

My name is Joan Meyer. I am a certified teacher with diverse work experience. I have a passion for working with children and young people as well as a love for the English Language and its literature.

I hold a Professional Graduate Diploma in Education with a specialization in English language and literature with additional coursework in English as an additional language, which I obtained at the University of Edinburgh. I also graduated with honours from McGill University, majoring in English and Art History.



I have previously worked as a High School English teacher, an ESL instructor, a private English and French tutor, and a creative writing and visual arts instructor to bilingual classes at local educational centres. My students have ranged in age from 5 to 18, some native English speakers and other not, many have had learning difficulties such as Autism, ADHD and Dyslexia. In order to meet the needs of all these different learners, I have completed a series of continuing professional development training and courses. I also work closely with ESL and student support departments in local schools as well as special education centres.



Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I have completed additional training in remote teaching so that I am able to do this work as effectively virtually as I would in person.
