About Me
italki teacher since Sep 24, 2018Interest topicTravelBusiness & FinanceSports & FitnessTechMusic
After graduating in Economics in the UK, I worked in finance in London until moving to China in early 2017. There I studied Chinese in sunny Kunming before moving back to the UK five and a half years later in late 2022. I love China, and learning mandarin has been one of the most rewarding things I've done. I love eating delicious food, and keeping fit by running, cycling and hiking. I also really enjoy travelling and have already been to many places in China.Me as a Teacher
I'm from the South of England and my accent can be considered as "standard" British English. Because I am also learning a language right now, I totally understand the challenges involved.
I am a patient, friendly and supportive teacher, so if you feel anxious about speaking English, especially with native speakers, don’t worry! I’m certain you will feel comfortable talking with me - check my feedback for some comments from existing students. Above all, I believe learning should be enjoyable, and I will help you build your confidence so you can use your English skills effectively.
***Please note: Sorry, but I don't offer classes for kids***My lessons & teaching style
I offer two main types of class:
1. Intermediate to advanced conversation practice.
I can help you by correcting mistakes, suggesting new phrases or vocabulary. This is also a chance to brush up or perfect your spoken English and learn some more advanced vocabulary, idioms and useful phrases. I can also help you improve your British accent and pronunciation.
2. Freeform classes.
In these classes I can help you with whatever you need. For example, I have successfully helped many people with IELTS, Cambridge and other English exams, interview preparation, CV checking or cover letter writing, finance-related English, essays, marketing, understanding British culture and many other things.5.0

Jon is a brilliant teacher who understands the needs of students. This point can be clearly percieved even if I just had one lesson of him. He is very talktive, can guide me to talk further and prevent the conversation to become cold.(Yes, you can see that he knows the struggles of a primary learner who can't fluently organise sentences so he keep asking and guiding.)
I am very willing to have more lessons of his.😀

John is very patient, helps me correct my grammatical errors, and finds ways to make my expressions more authentic. We talked a lot and imagined many scenarios from daily life. Highly recommend! Best teacher ever
