About Jonathan

Masters degree and 4 years experience teaching English in China. Worked with students aged 3-15 in both group and 1-1 lessons online and offline. I hold a TEFL certification as well as TKT levels 1-3 as well as Young Learners and CLIL.

About the lesson

♜ MY METHODOLOGY ♜
You’re here, looking for an English teacher, because you have a particular goal in mind.

I want to get to know exactly what that is, and help guide you to reach it.

No two lessons are alike, because I provide a 100% personalized approach to each one of my students. However, these principles are the foundation of all my lessons:

1 ♟ CONSTANT PROGRESS
We will break down your goal into manageable steps and make steady progress towards it in every lesson.

2 ♟ SIMPLE EFFICIENCY
I use a couple of easy-to-use tools to take advantage of the online medium. This helps make the lessons effective without making them too complicated.
-A digital whiteboard to clarify any questions
-A chat room where I share corrections directly with you, so you don’t have to take time out of our lesson to write them down

3 ♟ RELAXED ATMOSPHERE
My students often tell me they feel very comfortable in our lessons because I’m very approachable. It’s difficult to learn from a teacher who you feel too formal with, so I encourage all students to talk to me honestly on a human level.

4 ♟ OPEN COMMUNICATION
We will start our collaboration with an in-depth conversation of your goals. You’ll explain to me your vision of what you want to achieve, and together we will find the right path for you. I also regularly ask throughout our lessons for your input and feedback to make sure that you are happy with the lessons and that you are making the best progress you can.

5 ♟ FLEXIBILITY
I don’t insist on using the same textbook for every student just to save some time. In fact, I don’t like using textbooks at all. They have a cookie-cutter approach and usually completely off track of your goals. I use materials from a wide range of sources, adapted specifically to your goals.

6 ♟ ENGAGEMENT
I believe you benefit most when you put a part of yourself into the lesson too. So I encourage students to bring some of their own material to lessons too — articles we can talk about, topics we can discuss, or presentations we can practice. This creates a true collaborative atmosphere where you have decision-making power in how you would like your lessons to be.

7 ♟ GUIDANCE
I provide homework to help you review things after the lesson. But also, I can give you guidance with anything else you need regarding the English language or cultural differences between languages and countries. As you can read in my biography section below, I have lots of experience I can offer and share!

8 ♟ FOCUS ON GOALS
You’ve probably learned some things in school that you never used again. My lessons are not like that. I want to make sure that everything you learn with me is useful to you and your goals. I have an extremely wide range of experience through visiting over 25 countries and working in jobs from restaurants to archeology sites and universities. So I can understand a very wide range of perspectives and put myself in your shoes to find the right activities for our lessons.

9 ♟ IMMERSION
You’re looking for English lessons to learn English — not speak about English in your own language! To help you make the most progress possible, my lessons have 100% linguistic immersion. We will make sure to go at a comfortable pace for you. This way you can:
-Practice listening to a native North American accent
-Gain fluency with maximum progress
-Take full advantage of having 1-on-1 lessons

10 ♟ POSITIVITY
I personally love languages and I want to share that love with you. (Nothing can be learned through anxiety and stress!) That’s why I work hard to create a positive atmosphere in my lessons. I provide realistic encouragement to keep you motivated, but also give you a realistic idea of your strengths and areas to improve.

I have only wonderful things to say about Jonathan's work as an English teacher and tutor. I have known him for nearly 10 years now and the whole time he has definitely been the most hardworking person I know. He has always had his students' interests at the top of his mind and he has never once let them down. I am confident that Jonathan is a wonderful teacher for anyone who would like to make real progress in a relaxed and open atmosphere, with a completely student-focused approach. As an English teacher myself, I am very picky about who I recommend to students — and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Jonathan. If you can have him as your teacher, you can consider yourself very lucky!
