Hi there! I’m Jonathan, originally from Newfoundland, Canada. With over a decade of teaching experience and a CELTA certification, I’ve had the privilege of helping countless students achieve their IELTS Speaking goals—many of whom have successfully reached a band score of 7.0 or higher. My teaching journey has taken me across the globe, from Canada to Korea, Japan, Vietnam, China, Germany, and France, where I’ve gained firsthand insight into the unique challenges faced by learners in each country. What sets me apart is my passion for creating customized English for Specific Purposes (ESP) materials tailored to professionals in fields like nursing, medicine, human resources, and business.

What would I do without you? Jonathan is the best teacher ever. At first, I thought it would be kind of easy because it was a basic level, but it was difficult to describe the pictures after looking at them. So I think I have to start from scratch. That's why I need his lessons more than anything. Because he teaches me useful ways and important things to use in real life. :)

He sent me a file with corrections after the first lesson. We’re in the same time zone, so I’d like to recommend him other Japanese students. 韓国とは時差がないので日本の皆さんにもお勧めします！

I'm absolute beginner at english and speaking english is always annoyed for me. But during this class, I never feel pressure about speaking english. Because he makes me comportable and make me more participately. Today also, i had a good time in his class.
