As a former finance professional (Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan) turned language enthusiast, I deeply understand the challenges of mastering a new language - just like my Mandarin journey in China! Now, I help adults like you gain fluency and confidence in Business English, test preparation (IELTS/TOEFL), and real-world conversations. Having lived in Kunming, China for 5+ years, I combine cultural insights with practical vocabulary, so you sound natural in meetings, interviews, or travels. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me cycling, hiking, or working on my cooking skills!

Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
I'll support you by correcting your grammar and pronunciation, and teaching you really useful vocabulary, phrases and idioms. Whether it's general speaking, business English or test preparation, I've got you!
I am a patient, friendly and supportive teacher, so if you feel anxious about speaking English, especially with native speakers, don’t worry! I’m certain you will feel comfortable talking with me - just check my feedback for some comments from existing students.
I believe learning should be enjoyable, and I will help you build your confidence so you can use your English skills effectively out there in the real world.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I offer four class types:
1. Intermediate to advanced level conversation practice.
I can help you by correcting mistakes, suggesting new phrases, vocabulary and idioms, and helping you improve your pronunciation or British accent.
2. Business English classes
From CVs, cover letters and interviews to networking, negotiating and presenting, I can help you to get ahead in an English business environment.
3. Test preparation classes
I can help you prepare for IELTS, TOEFL and other English tests, and have helped many students achieve their goals.
4. Language essentials / freeform class
We can dive into grammar, vocabulary, idioms and phrases, or work on anything else you need help with.

Jonathan is very knowledgeable, and open-minded about others cultures and backgrounds.
That makes it easier to learn, and have a conversation with him.
