CELTA-Certified Business English & IELTS Teacher | Confidence for Professionals Hi, I'm Jaron from Boston, USA. I've been living in Hong Kong for 10 years. For five years, I taught English in both international and local schools. Shortly afterwards, I pivoted to business, working in marketing and project management at small tech startups, and trading and investing in the financial markets. I also run a tech YouTube channel called "Aldaron Hardware," reviewing niche tech products and services. Outside of work, I'm into bodybuilding, fantasy writing, writing and playing music, traveling, D&D, football and spending time with my family. Between teaching and business, I've spent years working alongside second-language English speakers. That gives me a practical understanding of how English is actually used at work. Our first lesson will begin by evaluating your English level and goals. Then we will work towards confidence and competence towards fluency in any of the following areas below: - Speaking skills for presentations, interviews, negotiations, or small talk. - Reading and vocabulary skills to understand complex business language. - Writing skills for improving grammar, editing, and proofreading. If you're not interested in Business English, send me a message and we can create a customized English plan to fit your needs.

TESOL certified with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and 10 years of teaching experience I like learning about language and how people develop fluency in several languages, and I like learning about different cultures as well as studying the industries and professions in which my students work. After teaching English to students from Japan, Brazil, Russia, Spain, France, Germany, South Korea etc for many years, I have learned a lot about the histories and cultures of their countries, as well as the economic and business environments. It's been immensely interesting and has helped me to provide customized lessons for my students based on their specifics needs and work/life situations. The idea is to have really engaging and interesting conversations about general and career topics while I offer feedback and corrections on students' pronunciation, grammar etc. The idea is to get students talking as much as possible for the lesson while I keep the conversation going. Topics would include travel, movies, culture, food, technology etc. I try to suggest as much natural language as possible during the discussion and type corrections for the student. I also like to focus in detail on pronunciation, listening comprehension, grammar, interview preparation and IELTS speaking preparation.

Certified TEFL teacher with more than 10 years of experience My first experience as a teacher was in my martial arts club in Pittsburgh. I taught for 10 years. Though this seems quite different from teaching a language, it was, in fact, excellent preparation for my career as an English teacher. Learning correct pronunciation involves learning unfamiliar movements. It is much more a physical skill than an academic exercise. To achieve fluency in speaking, one cannot carefully think about each word or phrase --- words and phrases must be automatic. To learn to speak automatically, one must practice regularly and diligently. I prefer to correct a student's mistakes immediately so that s/he is more likely to remember the correct usage.

    Ben is a great English teacher. Every lesson follows a clear plan built around my goals, so I always know what we are working on and why. He doesn’t waste time on small talk, and every minute of the class is focused and useful. We have worked both on general English and on TOEFL preparation, and he helped me with every section of the exam, from reading and listening to speaking and writing. His feedback is direct and specific, which is exactly what I need to improve. I would recommend Ben to anyone who wants real, measurable progress.

    My 7-year-old child is taking storytelling classes in English here. Rather than seeing it as a study session, my child truly enjoys this time as a chance to freely express their thoughts. Whenever my child comes across unfamiliar vocabulary, the teacher explains it in a way that is super easy to understand, helping them make the words their own. The teacher also encourages using a variety of sentence structures, which has really expanded my child’s expressive language skills. Best of all, when the class ends, my child always comes out with a big, happy, stress-free smile and asks me right away to book the next session!

    IELTS hazırlık sürecimin başından bugüne kadar İngilizce gelişimime en fazla katkı sağlayan öğretmenim Saj oldu. Derslerimiz son derece planlı, sistemli ve kapsamlı bir şekilde ilerliyor. Okuma, yazma, dinleme ve konuşma olmak üzere dört temel dil becerisinin tamamına odaklanan, düzenli ödevlerle desteklenen ve gelişimin sürekli takip edildiği oldukça etkili bir eğitim süreci yürütüyoruz. Saj yalnızca ders anlatmakla kalmıyor; eksiklerimi belirleyerek, ilerlememi değerlendirerek ve doğru yönlendirmelerde bulunarak aynı zamanda güçlü bir eğitim koçluğu da sunuyor. Bu sayede yalnızca ders saatlerinde değil, dersler arasında da öğrenmeye ve gelişmeye devam ediyorum. İngilizce öğrenimini rastgele çalışmalar yerine disiplinli, bütüncül ve sürdürülebilir bir süreç hâline getirmesi benim için son derece değerli. Emeği, ilgisi ve gelişimime sağladığı tüm katkılar için kendisine içtenlikle teşekkür ediyorum.

    Chris is an excellent teacher. I'll take IELTS soon and his speaking lessons have helped me to get the fluency and coherence that I noticed I did't have on my first attempt of the test. What I like the most about the lessons is that during the class he is encouraging you to practice the learned structures, vocabulary and strategies, useful by the way. He also created a personalized plan for me, according to those aspects that I needed to improve the most. There isn't a class for which he doesn't send you a detailed feedback with some identified small/important mistakes made and how you can fix it. Finally, but not less important, Chris is an experienced teacher and examiner for sure, respectful and friendly.

    When I first met my teacher, I could barely speak English, had almost no confidence, and wasn’t at the level I needed to apply to university. Today, after more than 70 lessons and a lot of practice, I finally applied for a degree at the International School, and a huge part of that journey is thanks to her. It starts with the lessons, the patience, the confidence she gives you, and the fact that the learning plan is adjusted to your goals. She is the most professional teacher I have ever had, with challenging, interesting lessons that have improved my English dramatically. But what makes her special is the feeling that she genuinely wants you to succeed, believes in you, and pushes you to become the best version of yourself. The support, materials, and effort continue even after the lesson ends. I would recommend her to anyone who truly wants to improve their English, gain confidence, and learn with a teacher who really cares. Book a lesson as soon as possible, you won’t regret it.

    I want to share my wonderful learning experience with Kylan. First of all, Kylan is extremely experienced in IELTS preparation. He can quickly pinpoint my weak areas and provides practical techniques and effective strategies to help me improve. Second, what I appreciate most is his inclusive and encouraging teaching style. Like many Chinese students, I used to be a typical "silent English" learner. With Kylan's patient guidance and encouragement, creating a safe space where mistakes are just part of the process. Third, Kylan is genuinely dedicated and responsible. He assigns targeted practice after every class and always gives timely, detailed feedback with clear points for improvement. Last but not least, his charismatic, humorous and easygoing, which makes for a relaxed and pleasant learning atmosphere. If you're looking for a teacher who combines real expertise with a genuinely fun learning experience, I highly recommend Kylan. Learning English with him is truly enjoyable!

With your continued help, I am sure I will leave the language barrier far behind. Highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the TOEIC exam, and what does it measure?

The TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) is a standardized test designed to assess the English language proficiency of non-native English speakers, especially in a professional or workplace context. The TOEIC exam measures a test taker’s ability to understand and use English in a business or work-related environment. It assesses listening and reading skills, which are critical for effective communication in international business settings.
TOEIC scores are not typically used for immigration purposes. These scores are primarily used for employment and educational purposes.

How is the TOEIC exam structured?

The TOEIC exam consists of two main sections: Listening Comprehension and Reading Comprehension. Each section is further divided into parts, and the total test duration is approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. The Listening Comprehension section includes tasks related to conversations, talks, discussions, and conversations with a question-and-answer format. Test takers listen to audio recordings and respond to questions assessing their understanding of spoken English.
The Reading Comprehension section involves reading various texts, such as articles, advertisements, and workplace-related documents. Test takers answer questions that assess their understanding of written English.

How is the TOEIC exam scored?

The TOEIC exam is scored on a scale of 10 to 990 points. Each section (Listening and Reading) is scored separately, and the total score is the sum of the two section scores. The score report also provides a separate indication of performance in each section. The TOEIC exam does not have a passing or failing score. The score assesses proficiency levels, and institutions or employers set their own score requirements. The good scores on the TOEIC exam vary depending on the context and purpose. Generally, a score above 700 is considered proficient, while scores above 900 indicate advanced proficiency.
TOEIC scores are typically valid for two years from the test date. After this period, the scores expire. There is no limit to how many times you can take the TOEIC exam. However, checking with test centers for availability and scheduling details is advisable so you don’t miss out on a chance.

Are there any specific strategies to excel in the TOEIC exam?

Successfully navigating the TOEIC exam requires a combination of language skills and effective test-taking strategies. Before listening to the audio, quickly read through the questions. This helps you focus on specific information while listening. Utilize the provided scratch paper to jot down key points, numbers, and keywords during the listening passages. This can assist in answering questions accurately. Train yourself to listen actively. Focus on the main ideas, details, and speaker attitudes. Regular listening practice in English can enhance your comprehension skills. Pay attention to how words are pronounced and the intonation used by speakers. This can provide additional clues about the meaning or emphasis of a sentence.
Quickly skim through the text to understand the main topic, headings, and structure before delving into the questions. Identify and underline keywords in the questions. Look for these keywords in the text to locate the relevant information. Read the passages carefully. Note how the information is organized and know the relationships between sentences. Allocate a specific amount of time to each set of questions. Avoid spending too much time on a single question, as this could impact your ability to complete the entire section.
Work on expanding your vocabulary to express ideas more precisely during the speaking tasks. Take a few seconds to organize your thoughts before responding to a question. This helps in delivering a coherent and well-structured answer.

How can I prepare for the TOEIC exam?

Various preparation materials include official TOEIC preparation books, practice tests, and online resources. Some test takers also choose to enroll in TOEIC preparation courses. TOEIC preparation courses provide a detailed understanding of the test format, structure, and types of questions that will be encountered in each section of the exam. This familiarity helps reduce anxiety and boosts confidence.
Qualified instructors in TOEIC preparation courses provide expert guidance on language proficiency, test-taking strategies, and best practices. They offer valuable insights into what examiners look for in responses.
