Hello, my name is Jon. I'm from USA. I love traveling, hiking, photography, and writing music and of course, learning languages like French and Chinese! Exploring new cultures and connecting with people around the world is something I'm truly passionate about. Language learning has opened so many doors for me, both personally and professionally. I enjoy experimenting with fun, creative, and effective ways to learn. Whether it’s through music, storytelling, or real-life conversation, I believe learning should be engaging and meaningful. I'm always happy to share tips and methods that have worked for me. Let’s enjoy the language journey together and make it something you truly look forward to!Me as a Teacher

I'm always thankful for all our conversations with Jon. Most of the lessons are full of deep discussion, some of them funny and some of them serious. It is really interesting how the level of language is increasing naturally through the fluent dialog with fascinating agenda and passionate partner.

Jon customizes lessons to my needs, focusing on conversation, vocabulary and helping me to improve significantly in speaking fluency. He provides clear explanations, practical exercises, and useful tips that I can apply in real-life situations.
Additionally, Jon creates a friendly and supportive environment, which makes it easy to ask questions and stay motivated. I truly appreciate his dedication and professionalism.
I highly recommend Jon to anyone looking to improve their English skills. He is truly a fantastic teacher!
