About Me
italki teacher since Feb 14, 2022
Hello everyone!
My name is Jonathan, but you can call me Teacher Jon. That nickname was kindly given to me by my students. I grew up in a small town in the northeastern corner of the United States. Currently I live in Brazil and I am fluent in both English and Portuguese. I am a Mechanical Engineer and I have been teaching English for the past eight years.

Me as a Teacher
During my first six years of teaching English, I taught groups of all ages and levels from children to elderly students, basic to advanced English. For the past two years I have been teaching online and now here I am to teach you English on italki! What I most enjoy sharing with my students is the wisdom that comes from experience. I have many years of experience teaching English as a second language. I also have experience in mechanical design, project management and mobile network infrastructure. In life I have experience as an entrepeneur and an investor. These last two are my favorite topics to discuss!
My lessons & teaching style
English is best learned through practice, and that is the focus of my classes. I act as a coach and teach my students how they can learn English by themselves. I also keep myself available for my students to ask all the questions they will have along the way.
My English teaching method is very simple and efficient:
- Want to learn to read? Just read!
- Want to learn to write? Just write!
- Want to learn to speak? Just speak!
I will be here to act as your training wheels while you’re getting all the practice you need to master the skill.

Jon is a fantastic teacher with a learning method of his own. I have no doubt that his classes are really useful and that is why I will continue learning with him.

Jon knows exactly what his students need and can quickly help them solve their puzzles. In the face of sudden doubts, can quickly organize language and ideas, orderly teaching. Amazing experience.❤️

Professor Jon is very patient. I don't know how to speak English very well, but he gave me tips to learn more easily. Now I'm studying more grammar and arranging the models into mind maps.
