Hello, I'm Jon, an IELTS teacher from the UK. I've been working as an IELTS teacher for about 8 years, and my main focus is to assist students in successfully passing their IELTS exam, gaining admission to prestigious universities like Oxford or Cambridge, and enhancing their assignment grades throughout their university degree.
Whether you find yourself at 5.5 in IELTS and don't know where you are going wrong, or you're facing challenges with your university assignments, I offer personalized feedback and strategies that guarantee you attain your objectives.
Please note that I do not teach students under the age of 16.
Me as a Teacher
I take a personalised approach to my lessons and customise them towards the specific needs of my students. Every student is different, so it is important to take this approach in order to ensure that every student can achieve the outcome that they're aiming for. Whether you are preparing for IELTS or struggling with your university assignments, I will provide tailored feedback and instruction that is focused on improving your weaknesses and further developing your strengths.
It's really important to me that my classes are comfortable and friendly. I'm very open-minded and welcoming, so I encourage students to ask me about anything during our classes without any worries.
My lessons & teaching style
I've guided approximately 1,600 students in reaching their target IELTS score thus far, and most of my students have attained a score of 6.5 and above. In our sessions, I demonstrate to students precisely what they need to execute to impress the examiner and secure a higher score.
I aid students in improving assignment grades and securing entry to renowned universities. I've guided students to achieve high merits, distinctions, and admissions to esteemed institutions like Oxford, Cambridge, King's College, and UCL. My sessions focus on enhancing academic writing skills, perfecting personal statements and preparing students for interviews.

Jon is the best English teacher I have ever met! Not only does he have a very high level of teaching and can improve students' English skills in all aspects, but he is also a very honest, friendly and caring friend. I took English classes with Jon for a year and a half, he not only helped me pass the IELTS exam, but also discussed social phenomena and life planning with me and other in-depth topics, in such valuable and meaningful conversations, I have grown a lot, I am very grateful to Jon for all the help he has given me!

This is the first time I have booked a lesson on italki, the teacher is very professional and at the same time very humorous, and the atmosphere in the class is very good. The teacher was able to pinpoint the main issues affecting my score and was able to guide me to express myself for a higher grade. The course experience is very good, and I will continue to learn from the teacher in the future. I was very nervous 😮💨during the class Just like the exam, I hope that my mentality and speaking will improve after a few more classes.

It was a bit surprising that the teacher sailed on a boat during our lesson, but it was good:)

I took the IELTS speaking lecture from John from February, and I took the test in April. He gave me a speaking lecture that was appropriate for the IELTS test. I learned through the template that fits the IELTS, which was very helpful to me, and greatly contributed to making the score I wanted. I always thank John.
