About Me

Hello, I'm John, originally from New Hampshire, where I spent 11 years before relocating to Texas for several years. Currently, I am pursuing my passion for aviation with the goal of becoming a pilot. Alongside my studies, I have been teaching English online for over 7 years, a role I thoroughly enjoy. As a TESOL-certified instructor, I specialize in helping adult learners achieve conversational fluency and excel in exams like IELTS and TOEFL. I take great satisfaction in meeting new people and supporting them in reaching their language goals. Outside of teaching, my interests include travel, sports, films, and music—topics that often enrich our lessons. I exclusively work with adults.Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching English online for the past 7 years, holding my TESOL Certificate. I love teaching and helping students from all over the world. I have helped students pass their IELTS test to move or study abroad by improving their grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary and listening skills. Helping students reach their goals brings me so much joy. I am very diligent so I will correct you and focus on your weaknesses. I only teach adults. Thank you. My lessons & teaching style
I focus on students A2 level and above. I am a very patient Tutor. I focus on my student's mistakes and correct their mistakes when needed. However every student is different so I am very adaptive and structure each class depending on each student's needs. I believe that constant practice is key for improving. So by targeting your weaknesses and using structured lessons I believe this can help you. I offer 3 Type of lessons, send me a message if you have any questions. I only teach adults. Thank you.My teaching material

John is by far one of the best teachers on Italki! He helped me prepare for my TOEFL exam, and in just a few months, I went from an average school level in English to being able to speak with confidence.
He is very patient and kind, creating a comfortable atmosphere for speaking. His lessons are always tailored to address your weak points, making every session productive and effective.
Each of his lessons strikes the perfect balance between professionalism and a friendly atmosphere. It's always a pleasure to have classes with him.
I highly recommend him!

Amazing as usual! One of my favorites native tutors so far, one of the few people who can lead the lesson and let me focus on my speaking and not on the control 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Mi profesor fue muy profesional. Habló conmigo de diferentes temas y logró identificar cuáles son mis debilidades, me corrigió y ayudó a expresar las ideas que quería decir. Me dio ejemplos y un plan para las siguientes clases.
