Hi, I’m Jon, a UK English educator with 10+ years’ experience helping ambitious learners make clear, measurable progress.
For IELTS candidates, most improve by at least one full band, and no student I’ve coached has ever scored below 6.5. For professionals, academic learners, and general students, I focus on building confident, natural communication that works in real life - whether that’s career advancement, university study, relocation, or everyday fluency.
I hold a Master’s in Finance, conducted doctoral research at the University of Queensland, and worked as a Senior Fund Accountant at Citi. I bring academic rigour and real-world precision into every lesson.
I work with exam candidates, university applicants, and professionals who need English as a serious tool for advancement.
My approach is structured and performance-focused. We build argument clarity, vocabulary depth, pronunciation precision, and confidence under pressure. Whether preparing for IELTS, interviews, academic writing, or workplace communication, we focus on practical progress — not random conversation.
Having lived and worked internationally, I understand the challenge of performing in a second language.
Every lesson is built around a clear objective and structured system. You receive detailed feedback on writing and speaking, reusable frameworks, and specific targets for improvement.

I highly recommend Jon as an IELTS instructor. His humorous and approachable teaching style makes learning enjoyable, and his extensive experience with Chinese students truly sets him apart. Jon deeply understands our learning habits, weaknesses, and thought processes, allowing him to tailor lessons to each student’s needs.
Thanks to Jon’s guidance, my English accuracy and fluency have improved significantly, and, more importantly, he has helped me develop stronger logical and critical thinking skills. Even during setbacks, Jon remained supportive, helping me analyze mistakes and create effective strategies for improvement.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, experienced, and understanding teacher, Jon is an excellent choice!
