Hey, I’m Jay 😄 A personal growth nerd, and I love working with people who absolutely want more out of life and are willing to work for it. When I am not helping you achieve your English goals, I trade the Forex market, exercise for longevity, and meditate like a monk with a side hustle. If you're chasing big goals and want to upgrade your life (and your English), let's do this -- I'd love to meet you!
Me as a Teacher
🧡 I value authenticity, soooo —I sometimes drop the occasional spicy word when I’m excited, shocked, or just enjoying our conversations/ lessons. 😄
🤔 I ask a lot of questions. I love exploring big ideas with my students—like being an employee vs. an entrepreneur's life, what beliefs we follow that we didn't reason into following, intermittent fasting wins (or fails), and yes… why women should definitely fart more. Let’s get curious!
My lessons & teaching style
🎯My lessons
✅Very conversational with you doing most of the talking, not because you will be forced, but because I am genuinely interested in your perspective on different areas of life.
✅I do have PPT's for A1, A2, A3 and B1 students but after that I'd like for us to talk, and have real conversations while I guide and correct your English.
😎My Teaching Style:
✅I touch-type +/- 40 words a minute, so I like to type corrections in the chat so that I don't interrupt you speaking.
✅If you continue making simple mistakes when speaking, I will on occassion interrupt you to ask you to use the present perfect, for example, if you used the past simple incorrectly in the context of your words.
