founder & principal
Founder & Principal of TLAS, Joanna, began her career in English Literacy as a teacher before serving as Head of Educational Research and Development at a leading international school in Petaling Jaya.
In 2016, she founded The Language Arts Studio to support students of all backgrounds in mastering English. Holding an M.Ed. from Canada and published in Australia, she values mixed-ability learning and stretching students’ potential.

At the Language Arts Studio, we spend half our time reading and half our time writing, with personal consultations each session.
Writing is a powerful tool for expression. Creative writing is approached as a form of art - a Language Art. This is where the studio draws our name.
While comprehension is a wonderful place to start at, learners are coached to move beyond simply understanding the explicit meaning in texts.
Learners from every education and linguistic background are welcome at the Studio. Support is available for learners in primary school, secondary school, and university.
Content for sessions is created and customised by our teachers.

*All sessions are fully hybrid so learners may choose to attend any of their scheduled sessions in person or online.
