Hello! My name is Johan. I am a native English speaker with a British accent, and I am from London in the UK. I am CELTA certified, and have obtained a master’s degree in history to the level of distinction. My hobbies include reading, cycling, martial arts, and I enjoy learning languages.

Me as a Teacher
My approach to teaching English focuses primarily on actively using and speaking the language while progressively addressing points for improvement. Each student is different, with distinct goals, unique strengths and specific areas that they need to work on. I encourage every student to learn at their own pace and push the limits of their English in a relaxed and friendly environment.
My lessons & teaching style
Build your confidence and feel more comfortable speaking in English in my conversation practice classes. In my General English classes, students study exercises and handouts with me to focus on pronunciation and grammar. Improve the precision and organisation of your English in my writing classes, where I offer live correction or out-of-class asynchronous correction. Students have the opportunity to practise their English in mock presentations, interviews, and telephone calls in my Business English classes.
NOTE: I only accept lesson bookings from adults. I do not teach people aged below 18. I do not help with test preparation and I do not work with test preparation material or coursework.

He is the finest teacher who really knows how to put into students perspective. He has a fine combination of generosity like a mother who knees down to meet her eyes to her kid’s and a charisma like a martial art master who lets his actions teach.

Johan is definately the finest English instructor in italki! What truly elevates him is his encyclopedic mastery—he seamlessly intertwines World War I chronicles (from trench warfare’s ethical labyrinths to propaganda’s psychological warfare), philosophy, and interdisciplinary wisdom into every single lesson.He dissects my stress errors with laser-guided accuracy (spotting phonetic micro-shifts even linguists overlook!), yet wraps each correction in a warmth that turns fear into fuel.If you seek a mentor who doesn’t just teach language but unlocks global perspectives, Johan is definately your best choice.

I’ve been taking Johan’s class for six months. He’s dynamic, responsible, and professional. Over the past six months, we’ve worked on various topics, and my English has improved a lot. I highly recommend him and you’ll find he’s excellent.

His teaching is impeccably well-structured. He always knows how to put students in a right direction for better. Although you can get many takeaways from his lessons, nothing beats his razor-sharp insight. His bottomlessly deep knowledge sparks in every lesson, thus, you will always find it stimulating in his sessions.
