About Me
italki teacher since Nov 20, 2017Interest topicTravelScienceHistory
I’ve always loved to learn languages ever since I was young. I would often go to our city library and read books on as many languages as possible. As I got older, my love for languages only grew stronger. Now, I have a bachelor’s degree in linguistics with a minor in Arabic, a Russian language certificate and a certificate for teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL). I’m a native speaker of English, and I speak Russian at the C2 level. I’ve also studied numerous other languages, including Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, French and German, and I’m learning new languages all the time.Me as a Teacher
As a student of languages, I know what study habits are the most effective. I can also explain grammar in simple terms and provide conversational practice, which you need in order to speak the language well. I have experience teaching to people of different backgrounds, age groups, and levels of English. I'm flexible and I can adapt to your individual needs and goals.My lessons & teaching style
Teaching Style
I offer both informal tutoring and professional lessons. With informal tutoring, we can choose a topic to discuss, and I will write feedback in the chat. This type of lesson can also be used for asking questions and checking your writing, among other things. With professional lessons, we will follow the course of a textbook, which will include reading, writing, speaking, listening, grammar, and homework.
Cancellation Policy
I allow a maximum of two last-minute cancellations for each student per month. After that, all lessons must be canceled at least 24 hours ahead of time, through the Italki platform.My teaching material

John is an excellent English teacher. He is punctual, calm and friendly. He helps my son to communicate without fears and shyness; it makes the learning process much more successful. I strongly recommend him.

Learning a second language is difficult, but when you find the right person, it becomes easier. After talking with John, I realized that my English has improved a lot since I started studying it, five and a half years ago. His classes are not bored, we practice real English, which is the best part for me. At the end of the class, he gave me some feedback, so I could see where I made mistakes and now I can fix them. Are you looking for a good teacher? Book a class with him, you will not regret it.
