About me
My name is Jonathan and I’m an English teacher from Britain. I have been giving high quality online English lessons using Skype since 2005. My online English lessons have helped learners from all over the world to become better language users.
An experienced teacher
If you want a teacher with a lot of teaching expertise, then I’m right for you. With 23 years of total English teaching experience and 13 years of online teaching I have the professional background to get fantastic results with my English learners.
How lessons work
Talk to me in your English lesson using Skype. Enjoy high quality audio in your lesson using a tool that most people already have and know how to use. Message me if you need to talk about lessons too!
You will be able to see your lesson in real-time using the screen-sharing feature on Skype. You will see real-time feedback on your screen from my computer and even be able to use video in your lessons!
During a lesson, I will listen to how you use English and give you feedback on your vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. I will make notes in a lesson document which I send after the lesson.
My lessons will be 100% customised to your learning needs. This means you will only practise what you need to practise and nothing else. Customised lessons mean you take control of your learning.
My teaching is based on communication with the learner. This means you will be practising your speaking skills at all times in a lesson and learning to improve skills in a natural context.
Your lesson is recorded in a Microsoft Word format. This means you will have organised, well-presented lesson notes in every class which will be shared with you or sent to you by email after the lesson.
In most systems, you can’t choose lesson length. In my system you can choose how long you want your lessons to be. Choose 30, 45 or 60 minute lessons when you buy your package (5 lesson packages only).
How to start
After I receive your application, I will reply to you via email to schedule a time for your free consultation. I will also add you to my Skype contacts list so that we’ll be ready to talk to each other on Skype.
What you need
Use Skype to talk to me in a lesson. This will give us the best audio quality in our lessons so we can hear each other clearly. Download Skype for free from the Skype website.
You will need a good, stable Internet connection. When we meet for our demo class, we can test your Internet connection to see if it’s fast enough for online English lessons.
A headset microphone will give you the best possible audio quality in your lessons. It will be much better if you use a headset and not the built-in microphone on your tablet or PC.
