About Me
italki teacher since Oct 27, 2021Me as a Teacher
As a teacher with over 13 years experience I am very good at quickly analyzing my students level then matching the students needs and building a lesson plan to suit. I am very picky about pronunciation and oral grammar as well as fluency.My lessons & teaching style
My lesson style is fun and relaxed while also being challenging and intense at times to give my students the best opportunity for success in real life English situations. I will do my best to activate my students knowledge and push them on fluency, grammar and pronunciation. The classes are always fun and upbeat. Unlike most teachers I am brutally honest in my assessment of your ability as I’ve taught 1000’s of students over the years. If you’re looking for a straightforward teacher and a happy class, I’m looking forward to seeing you in class.Work Experience

A big shout out to Jonathan, the best teacher in the world. Just got back my ielts result and got an overall 8 and 7 in speaking. Wouldn't get this score on the first try without the help from Jonathan. Thank you so much!

Jonathan corrected many of my grammar mistakes during our conversation, which was also very inspiring as I learned about American business culture. Moreover, he identified one of my bad speaking habits and helped me reorganize the sentence structure. Great class!

Thanks for always listening to me patiently and giving me all kinds of advice and responses. So grateful to meet you in this relatively tough year for me. I felt so happy and energetic talking with you. And kinda opened my mind and made me believe in myself. May you and your family and cute puppy have a happy year and a nice trip to China! Let’s meet afterwards cause I look forward to sharing more stories about my career with you in the future.
