Creating my own English company has enabled me to not only return to the 'classroom' but also move things forward by working with the amazing options which technology now provides us. Every student is different and my teaching reflects that. After an initial assessment, I work with the student to identify their key needs and set targets so that we both know what we are working towards and how we know we are succeeding. I understand the difficulties that students have learning English and the problems created by often having to learn it quickly to pass an exam, or to better cope with other curriculum subjects taught in English. It can feel overwhelming. I believe in interactive and relaxed classes and make Skype classes feel as natural as if they were face to face. For this, I use a variety of software to allow me to present lessons and mark and edit work with the student in real time.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the teacher's students.
Perfect! Online lessons delivered in his friendly & engaging manner. Jonathan has taken me from IELTS 2 to 7 in a year. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to improve their English.
Perfect! It has been a pleasure to have Jonathan as a tutor. One can notice immediately his ability to communicate and make the student feel at ease. He made me increase my confidence as an English learner showing me my strengths and always suggesting how to improve in my weaker points, for example, explaining better ways of saying things or approaching tasks.
Jon is very professional and caring at the same time. I recommend him without any doubt, and I will contact him myself next time I need more lessons. Thank you, Jon,!- Virginia was a delight to teach. She is a natural linguist who uses language to an impressively high level. Her range of expression, use of vocabulary and accuracy of grammar is of the highest standard. The most impressive aspect of her language is her understanding of nuance, idioms and natural expression.See the response Jonathan :
She can move between general conversation to the most challenging aspects of academic work with ease.
Virginia is creative and ambitious in her use of language and has made significant progress, even in a short time.
I am sure she will succeed in any aspect of English language study, or use, that she puts her mind to.
I wish her every success!

I have been studying with Jonathan for eight months and I can highly recommend him. We started on IELTS level 2 and are now working to a target of passing all of the: Comprehension, Speaking, Writing and Listening IELTS exams to level 7. He is friendly, patient and explains things very well.
We have continued learning throughout the lockdown with online lessons via Skype.
