I believe language learning should be as fun and practical as possible. I always begin lessons with new students by asking them what their goals are and what they hope to achieve by taking English lessons. This enables us to create a learning plan tailored specifically to your desired outcome. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about other cultures. I've had the privilege of living in eight different countries and visiting many more. I speak Spanish and Portuguese, and I enjoy reading about computers, anthropology, economics, history, linguistics, and philosophy.

Me as a Teacher
I'm a certified English teacher with over five years of English teaching experience. I love teaching English and believe learning a language should be fun!
My lessons & teaching style
I believe the most effective way to learn a language is to begin speaking it immediately. Lessons with me will always focus first on speaking English and second on developing specific English language skills such as pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, idioms and expressions, etc. I believe it is important to practice English by focusing on reading, writing, listening, and speaking about topics that you find interesting or relevant to your life.

It was our 111th lesson! And just like I always am, I am delighted with my classes with John! During this time, we analyzed many grammatical points, discussed tons of articles on various topics, and began to practice writing and work on a very advanced textbook “Doing Grammar” by Max Mohrenberg, which explains how the English language works. I see excellent results and am going to move on😎

John has an incredible gift for teaching. His classes seem like play but there is a lot of serious learning going on. Classes with John have been so worthwhile! John has an amazing way of breaking things down so that they are understandable, and always keeping it light and fun. He is very patient — which anyone that takes a language needs – and it’s very comfortable to practice conversations, which is also a huge plus. John's manner of teaching is so wonderful and refreshing! I recommend him highly.

I’m so happy I found you, MY teacher! You’re the most patient, supportive, and encouraging teacher I’ve ever had. I never feel bad when you correct my mistakes. It took me about two years to figure out that big progress in learning a new language doesn’t happen overnight. It takes a lot of regular practice. I see it clearly that you’re the perfect teacher for the long run!

John is excellent, and my son really enjoys his lessons. After adjusting the teaching platform, the results have been truly impressive. We will definitely purchase more comprehensive lesson packages in the future.
