Native speaker ~ TEFL & TESOL Certified ~ All ages - All levels I’m Jean, a native English speaker and certified teacher from the UK with 15+ years of global experience—from Malawi to Colombia! I specialize in IELTS prep, Business English, and conversational fluency, helping students of all levels sound natural and confident. My lessons blend real-world examples from my tourism business background, making language practical and engaging. Whether you’re preparing for exams, work, or daily life, I adapt to your goals with a relaxed, personalised approach. Let’s turn mistakes into progress—and have fun while doing it! I have been teaching one-to-one online since early 2020. I can help with: pronunciation, conversation, general English, business English, IELTS preparation, reading, writing, and listening skills, academic English, and English to support your kids with their homework, grammar and useful phrases.

After that, we focus on a certain skill: e.g reading, writing, listening or speaking, or an area of grammar that you find challenging. To finish off, I’ll set an activity or activities for you to do outside of class to keep your momentum. In my lessons, we will use a range of activities such as exercises, realia, videos, games, flash cards, actions, sound...

It's been a pleasant chat with Jean, enriched with some pronunciation corrections that she gave me at the end of the class and that I truly appreciated.

Jean, your method stands out from others that I'd been taught since 2023. I hope that they will help me make strides going forward in learning English.

This is the best teacher I’ve found on italki. She’s incredibly kind and full of affinity, she also has a wide range of knowledge even like Wikipedia! I’m really glad to have this lesson.

Wojtek, my 14-year-old son, loves lessons with Jean. He always looks forward to them and thinks about the topics to discuss in advance. After each lesson he gets a summary of words and expressions covered, which is a great way to expand his active vocabulary.
