Hi! My name is John, and I teach English here at Italki. I'm originally from the United States and I'm currenly living in Mexico City, where I study economics and teach English in-person. I love traveling, talking about culture, history, and languages, photography, and music. I also love to cook, but for your health and safety, I'm not going to share.Me as a Teacher
Before moving to Mexico, I got my degree in social studies education and taught in an American high school for four years. I use this experience - plus my TEFL certification - in my private English lessons to create engaging material for A0 - C1 students. My lessons & teaching style
I don't believe that copy/paste teaching is effective, so I craft each lesson to the needs of each student. In our first lesson, we'll discuss your language level, interests, and goals, which lets me create personalized lessons that will as practical as possible.My teaching material

I highly recommend this teacher. The teacher is very thoughtful, explains lessons clearly, and speaks with standard American English. I really enjoy his classes.
