Stella Louise Jones
About
I’m a TEFL-certified English tutor with over 3 years of experience teaching both children and adults online. I specialize in Conversational English, Business English, English for Travel, and English for Kids. My lessons are supportive, engaging, and tailored to each learner’s goals and interests.
In addition to my teaching qualifications, I hold a Diploma in Educational Psychology, which helps me understand how learners develop, stay motivated, and overcome challenges in the learning process. I also have a Diploma in Social Media Strategy, giving me strong communication and content planning skills — valuable for keeping lessons interactive and relevant to real-world contexts.
My strengths include adaptability, clear instruction, and creating a positive, student-centered learning environment where every learner feels confident and supported.
Teaching Style
My teaching style is supportive, engaging, and adaptable. I focus on building confidence through conversation-based learning, personalized feedback, and practical language use. I create a relaxed environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions. Lessons are structured around each student’s goals, interests, and learning pace, with a mix of speaking practice, vocabulary building, and real-life examples. I also use visuals, activities, and prompts to keep lessons interactive and enjoyable for all ages.
Curriculum
My teaching method is student-centered and goal-focused, designed to build confidence, fluency, and real-world communication skills. I use a communicative approach, combining structured lessons with open conversation, vocabulary development, and practical grammar. Lessons are customized based on each student’s level, needs, and interests. I also incorporate visuals, discussion prompts, games (for children), and real-life scenarios to keep learning relevant and engaging.
For younger learners, I focus on interaction, repetition, and play-based learning. For adults, I emphasize fluency, accuracy, and confidence in both casual and professional settings.
I use a combination of trusted ESL resources and personalized materials, including:
- English File series (Oxford University Press) – for general English and conversation
- Business Result (Oxford) – for Business English learners
- National Geographic Life or World Link – for real-world vocabulary and topics
- English for Everyone (DK) – for grammar, vocabulary, and practice
- Custom worksheets, slides, and conversation guides tailored to the student’s goals
I also recommend online tools such as Quizlet for vocabulary review and Google Docs for real-time collaboration during lessons.
