Over mij

Hi Everyone!
I´m a professional English teacher from the UK and I spend my time between two places I love dearly, South America and Ireland!
I was born and raised in England, then when I was 15 my family moved home to Ireland. I love travelling and have lived in many parts of the world.
I received a grammar school education and continued on to study at the University of Portsmouth UK, graduating with a BSc Hons in Biology.
I started learning Spanish in South America, so I am familiar with the typical barriers students can face when learning a foreign language. I love to motivate my students and give them advice on how to get better.Ik als leerkracht
In 2008 I enrolled on a teacher training course in Peru and I have been teaching English ever since. I am familiar with the latest TEFL techniques and I will help you learn my language whatever your level. All you need is a little dedication and perseverance!
I love my job and I mostly teach adults but also children from age 9 upwards. I have a neutral, easily understood British accent, perfect for teaching English. I have a lot of patience and I am particularly proficient in teaching English to native Spanish speakers, but it really doesn't matter where you are from.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
The most popular class I teach is conversation. Basic / Pre-Intermediate students may find book-based courses are easier, and I use the best literature available for this.
I also teach business English and prepare students for exams (TOEFL / IELTS etc.) and job interviews. I'm trained in phonetics and correcting pronunciation is an important part of my classes.
I take very detailed notes on a shared whiteboard and I always ensure my students are speaking around 80% of the time. Every so often we go over any grammatical errors and mispronounced words. This helps my students solidify the grammar rules very quickly and highlights their problem areas.Mijn lesmateriaal

Jon is an exceptional teacher. His patience, attentiveness and extensive knowledge make him stand out. He offers immediate corrections and guidance during conversations and provides detailed feedback at the end of each lesson. I highly recommend Jon - he’s not only a top-notch professional but also great to talk to.

Highly recommended speedy CAE preparation. I am a language teacher myself and I like the sessions effective approach. Work sheets, produce a particular layout to tackle each part of the Speaking Test, and thoroughly work on grammar mistakes. Also we work on the grammar structures CAE requires. I am very satisfied. Many Thanks!

It was a wonderful lesson. Since I'm more interested in grammar, John took my preferences into account! Thank you so much!

I’ve been having conversations with Jon for months now and I gotta say, he’s really good at what he does. He gives the best feedback out of any teacher I’ve had, and his lessons are totally worth the money, and on top of that it’s always a blast talking to him. Absolutely recommended.
