Read your Way to Better English

Hello, I’m Joanne, a professional English language teacher and writer. I create story-based books for both learners and improvers of English through characters, curiosity and the joy of reading. Books slow us down in this fast-paced world, develop our imagination, grow our vocabulary and support concentration and long-term language skills.
My mission is to make English learning more effective and more human through story-based books that support learners, guide parents, and give teachers creative resources they can trust.

A Word From The Author
I’m Joanne Glen, a native English language trainer from the UK. I have been teaching English as a certified trainer for more than 20 years. I teach university courses, do in-company language and cultural training and I write both educational and fiction books. When I’m not working, I like to get out onto the tennis court…or simply lose myself in a good book.
