I'm a native English speaker who grew up in the southeastern United States. For many years, I called the vibrant and historic city of New Orleans, Louisiana my home, immersing myself in its unique blend of music, cuisine, and traditions. My professional journey includes a background in broadcasting and entertainment, which has helped me sharpen my communication skills and allowed me to develop a clear, neutral American accent that's easily understood by English language learners. I love learning languages as a hobby, and in my spare time I enjoy watching movies, series and sporting events in my target languages.

Ich als Lehrkraft
I’m here to guide you, motivate you and encourage you on your language learning journey. My experience as both a language learner and an EFL teacher gives me valuable insight into the learning process that we can utilize to help you to reach your goals. As a native speaker of English, I can help you express yourself more effectively for business, travel, education or everyday communication. We can have free-flowing conversations or I can customize lesson plans to meet your needs and adapt them whenever it's necessary. I've taught thousands of lessons and helped hundreds of students improve their grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation along with their ability to express themselves in English.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I believe that language lessons should serve the wants and needs of the learner. If you want to improve your English by engaging in conversation, we can talk about any subject that interests you. If you have specific skills you want to improve like grammar, vocabulary or pronunciation, I can customize lesson plans to suit your needs. I'll encourage you to speak as much as possible in every lesson. If you're unsure about where to start, we can begin by assessing your skills. Why not see for yourself the difference that learning with a native speaker who has real-world experience as a communication professional can provide you? I look forward to helping achieve your language learning goals.
Jonathan is an amazing teacher, he´s very knowledgeable and able to explain not just the grammar but also the nuances of vocabulary and subtle difference between word meanings. He´s also a very entertaining person and this makes time fly during the lesson as learning feels very fun!

Jonathan is my favorite teacher on italki. I am absolutely happy with each class. I like that he corrects the speech, the pronunciation and also offers some sentences how to express yourself in a better way. After each lesson he sends the notes he is taking during the class with problematic points that require attention. Moreover, Jonathan is very multitasking. He helped me a lot with English grammar, conversation, with preparation for an job interview as well as preparation for a nursing NCLEX exam. Sometimes we just have an interesting conversations about various things. I am happy that my intuition helped me to find Jonathan. Jonathan has a great personality, he is kind, patient, helpful, have a nice sense of humor. And I really see a progress in my overall English skills. I do strongly recommend Jonathan as a teacher.

After three months of learning with Jonathan, I successfully completed my IELTS exam. He was amazingly helpful in increasing my speaking skills and preparing me for the IELTS speaking task. I would recommend taking lessons with him because he has plenty of useful advice and can prepare you very well. Even though I've already finished my IELTS preparation, I am still going to continue with our lessons to improve my English skills, and I trust that with Jonathan, I will reach my goals. Thank you very much!!!

It was really nice to meet Jonathan and have a conversation with corrections today! Jonathan corrected any mistakes that I made during a conversation and even gave me exercises on pronunciation. He fixed my pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary mistakes. And he was kind, nice and had a good mood so there was a lot of humor and I really enjoyed the class becuase it was a lot of fun! He took notes on my mistakes during the class. I hope to see him again soon! It was amazing!
