Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 13. Apr 2022Thema von InteresseEssenFilmeReisenLesenSchreiben
I’m Jean, a native English speaker and certified teacher from the UK with 15+ years of global experience—from Malawi to Colombia! I specialize in IELTS prep, Business English, and conversational fluency, helping students of all levels sound natural and confident.
My lessons blend real-world examples from my tourism business background, making language practical and engaging. Whether you’re preparing for exams, work, or daily life, I adapt to your goals with a relaxed, personalised approach. Let’s turn mistakes into progress—and have fun while doing it!
I have been teaching one-to-one online since early 2020.
I can help with: pronunciation, conversation, general English, business English, IELTS preparation, reading, writing, and listening skills, academic English, and English to support your kids with their homework, grammar and useful phrases.
My lessons start with a chat or warm-up, which allows us to communicate naturally, have a laugh, get to know each other, apply vocabulary and grammar that you already know, and also bring up and use lots of new vocabulary, phrases, grammatical elements and improve pronunciation too.
After that, we focus on a certain skill: e.g reading, writing, listening or speaking, or an area of grammar that you find challenging. To finish off, I’ll set an activity or activities for you to do outside of class to keep your momentum. In my lessons, we will use a range of activities such as exercises, realia, videos, games, flash cards, actions, sound...Mein Unterrichtsmaterial

It's been a pleasant chat with Jean, enriched with some pronunciation corrections that she gave me at the end of the class and that I truly appreciated.

This is the best teacher I’ve found on italki. She’s incredibly kind and full of affinity, she also has a wide range of knowledge even like Wikipedia! I’m really glad to have this lesson.

Wojtek, my 14-year-old son, loves lessons with Jean. He always looks forward to them and thinks about the topics to discuss in advance. After each lesson he gets a summary of words and expressions covered, which is a great way to expand his active vocabulary.
