Jani is a qualified teacher of English as a foreign language and is experienced in teaching General and Business English. Jani has taught group and one to one to business people of all nationalities at a Business College in Oxford. She also has extensive experience of teaching general English at all levels.
Jani enjoys current affairs and news, cooking, home life and yoga as well as outdoor activities.
Jani's husband, Brian, is an Industrial Liaison Manager, and travels around the world on business. Jani and Brian have two daughters and a son who all live away from home but visit regularly at the weekends. Jani has many interests that she is willing to share with her students.
Jani and Brian live in the quiet village of North Leigh, which is located in the countryside 20 minutes from Oxford. The village has a bus service where it is possible to take a direct bus to Oxford. The village of North Leigh presents beautiful country walks, two friendly local pubs and a football club. The village is in a good position to explore the Cotswolds, Reading and London which is only one hour away.
Jani prepares an individual one-to-one course for each student, which focuses on practising the language areas they are most keen to develop. Whether students want to improve their speaking, listening, reading or writing skills, or to concentrate on business English, general conversation skills or cultural discussions, Jani provides a series of intensive lessons which will maximise progress in those areas in the time available.
The Homelingua experience also offers much more than an intensive one-to-one language course. It embodies the belief that total immersion in the language is the ideal way for a student to develop their skills. Living in Jani’s home and sharing daily activities such as meals, shopping, trips to London, meeting friends and so on, students are exposed to the everyday English which occurs naturally in a range of typical situations. The result is often a dramatic improvement in students’ confidence and their ability to communicate by the end of the course.
The most convenient arrival airport if using public transport is London Heathrow. There is a regular bus service between Heathrow airport and Oxford. The nearest mainline railway station is Oxford with regular trains to London Paddington Station.
