About Me
italki teacher since Oct 24, 2016InterestsSports & FitnessFoodReadingWritingArt
** Just returned to italki - GOOD AVAILABILITY **
I am a CELTA-qualified English teacher with nearly ten years of one-to-one online teaching experience. I love learning foreign languages and meeting people from around the world. Over the years, I've studied lots of languages, so I appreciate the rewards and challenges you can meet on the way! I also work as a professional theatre director and coach business people in public speaking.Me as a Teacher
I started on italki as a student, learning foreign languages, so I know how valuable online sessions with a good teacher can be. I am an enthusiastic and encouraging teacher. I want you to meet your goals – and go further! – and I know we learn best when you're relaxed and having fun. It's important that we practise the English you want to be able to use, so I'll be guided by your needs, interests and passions.My lessons & teaching style
I offer a few different lessons: structured lessons at pre-intermediate and intermediate levels, for you to learn the language and practise your skills; conversation practice, where we focus on building your confidence and fluency in natural conversation; presentation/interview practice, tailored to prepare you for a professional or academic goal; and, for upper intermediate and beyond, I welcome you into my personal passions in English, by offering classes on Shakespeare and modern English theatre. Whatever you need English for, I’m excited to help you!Education

What a great chance to learn and appreciate Shakespeare's work of art! I've never had such a unique and interesting lesson in a long time. Jon is an expert in his field, he prepared well, having great passion for teaching, and was very patient with students. I highly recommend him and his class!
