Hi, my name is Jake. I'm originally from Chicago, however I live in Sofia, Bulgaria where I teach English online. I have a passion for music and I play guitar and bass. I also love to ride bikes, go hiking, cook, travel and juggle.Me as a Teacher
I started teaching English in Cuzco, Peru in 2008 after I got my TEFL certificate. I later lived and taught in Colombia, Korea, Spain and finally Turkey where I instructed at university for almost ten years. I have taught all ages and levels of students from basic to advanced.My lessons & teaching style
As a teacher I'm fun and energetic and I seek to create a warm supportive atmosphere in my classes. I always encourage my students to make learning English a hobby by listening to lots of music, watching films and reading.My teaching material
