Hi, I’m John — a certified English instructor and IELTS/TOEFL speaking coach.
I help learners become more confident, fluent, and natural in English, especially when speaking under pressure in exams, interviews, or real-life conversations.
With me, you will:
✅ Improve your IELTS/TOEFL speaking performance
Learn how to structure answers, develop ideas, use better vocabulary, and speak with more confidence.
✅ Think and respond in English more naturally
We use real-world topics, stories, videos, and practical speaking tasks — not boring memorization.
✅ Fix grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation gaps
You’ll get clear, personalized feedback so you know exactly what to improve.
✅ Build fluency through guided speaking practice
You will speak a lot, repeat useful structures, and learn how to express your ideas clearly.
As a multilingual teacher who speaks Armenian, Russian, and French, I understand how frustrating language learning can be. I know why students hesitate, translate in their heads, or feel stuck when speaking — and I’ll help you overcome those problems step by step.
Book a lesson if you want practical speaking practice, honest feedback, and a clear plan for improvement.My teaching material

John is one of the best teachers I've ever had! It was hard for me to start speaking English, but in our lessons, we had a lot of practice and questions to which I had to respond. I learned new vocabulary, and now it’s much easier for me to start conversations on various topics. Also, he helped me prepare for the IELTS, provided feedback, and shared valuable advice for my essays and speeches, which significantly improved my score. I absolutely recommend booking lessons with him. Thank you, John, for all your support!

Uygulama üzerinden bir kaç öğretmen ile ders aldım. Ancak john ile aldığım dersler inanılmaz eğlenceli ve verimli geçiyor. İngilizce konuşurken kendime olan özgüvenim çok arttı. Kelime ve gramer bilgisi olarak yanlışlarımı düzeltmesi ve iş için gireceğim sınava beni çok iyi çalıştırması gerçekten çok verimli oldu. Kesinlikle tavsiye ediyorum. Bir öğretmen olarak italki üzerinden kesinlikle tavsiye edebileceğim biri.
