I teach: Business English, Conversation Practice, Idioms for Professionals and Daily Life, Slang and Grammar.

Jeff is an amazing teacher — professional, friendly, and very open-minded. From the very first lesson, he made me feel comfortable and confident. Every mistake I made, he noted and gently corrected, explaining in detail and giving clear examples of how to say things correctly. I truly appreciate his structured approach and the way he turns learning into an engaging and enjoyable process. I’m glad that iTalki has such outstanding teachers as Jeff. Highly recommended!

Jeff has a very good teaching approach. He gives a lot of constructive comments and alternative expressions that native speakers offten use. I'd like to have more lessons with him.
