I’m an American businessman, educator, teacher and trainer that’s lived in China and SE Asia for over 15 years. Living in Asia for that many years and being able to understand cultural differences allows me to teach my students from an insiders prospective as I understand what real English speaking and communicating is. I also am fluent in Chinese so I know the ups and downs of learning a second language. At this stage of my life I enjoy helping students reach their goals whether it’s a businessperson involved with a multinational company or a student looking for a 7.5 in IELTS. I do enjoy going to the beach, riding motorcycles, snowboarding and hanging out with friends.

Yo como profesor
As a teacher with over 13 years experience I am very good at quickly analyzing my students level then matching the students needs and building a lesson plan to suit. I am very picky about pronunciation and oral grammar as well as fluency.
Mis clases y método de enseñanza
My lesson style is fun and relaxed while also being challenging and intense at times to give my students the best opportunity for success in real life English situations. I will do my best to activate my students knowledge and push them on fluency, grammar and pronunciation. The classes are always fun and upbeat. Unlike most teachers I am brutally honest in my assessment of your ability as I’ve taught 1000’s of students over the years. If you’re looking for a straightforward teacher and a happy class, I’m looking forward to seeing you in class.

Jonathan is an amazing and interesting teacher! Very helpful for my working life!
When I received the all-English speaking work task, I don’t think I have the ability to do it. Fortunately, I found Jonathan, and he quickly and completely understood what I was doing. Then helped me get it done. Amazing!
Thank you so much Jonathan.

A big shout out to Jonathan, the best teacher in the world. Just got back my ielts result and got an overall 8 and 7 in speaking. Wouldn't get this score on the first try without the help from Jonathan. Thank you so much!
