I highly recommend Jon as an IELTS instructor. His humorous and approachable teaching style makes learning enjoyable, and his extensive experience with Chinese students truly sets him apart. Jon deeply understands our learning habits, weaknesses, and thought processes, allowing him to tailor lessons to each student’s needs.
Thanks to Jon’s guidance, my English accuracy and fluency have improved significantly, and, more importantly, he has helped me develop stronger logical and critical thinking skills. Even during setbacks, Jon remained supportive, helping me analyze mistakes and create effective strategies for improvement.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, experienced, and understanding teacher, Jon is an excellent choice!
