Online English lessons on Skype with English Teacher Jonathan

About me

My name is Jonathan and I’m an online 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.

Studying English online is a great way to improve your language skills. It’s convenient because you can study from home via computer. But it’s more than that. Studying with me means you focus exactly on your learning needs with an experienced language teacher who can help you to improve all your English skills.

I work as an online English teacher because I’m passionate about working with people from all over the world to help them achieve their dreams. I also love working with technology to develop innovative new teaching approaches. I don’t see my job as work but as pure enjoyment!

Why study English online with me?

If you want a teacher with a lot of teaching expertise, then I’m right for you. With 20 years of total English teaching experience and 10 years of online teaching I have the professional background to get fantastic results with my English learners.

If you want a teacher who believes in making English lessons fun, interesting and challenging, then I’m right for you. For me, these are the three key features of the learning process. Lessons need to be fun, interesting and challenging and I put all my effort into creating that kind of lesson.

If you want a teacher who works to take the stress out of learning then I’m right for you. I believe in having a positive, supportive relationship with all my students and they will all tell you how patient I am as a teacher. I want my learners to be relaxed, to make mistakes and fall in love with English.

Lessons too expensive? Try a vocabulary building subscription for £5 a month!

Vocabulary subscriptions

My vocabulary subscriptions are for English learners who really want to build their vocabulary. Every week, starting Monday there is a word of the week. Every day, I will send you two vocabulary pages to learn key vocabulary connected to the word of the week. Learn idioms, expressions and other useful vocabulary!

Great value for money

A vocabulary subscription is great value for money. It costs just £5 a month with a Paypal subscription. £5 a month buys you 14 vocabulary items each week or more than 50 vocabulary items each month. This is a better learning option for learners who can’t afford my English lessons but still want to learn English from me!

How it works

I will send the vocabulary every day by email. After you get your subscription, I will add you to my mailing list. You will receive two files – a Microsoft Word file and a PDF file. Contained will be your vocabulary pages as well as short, simple review exercises of the last day’s vocabulary. This will help to really learn the new words!

What you need to study online

Skype

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.

Headset microphone

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.

TeamViewer Quick Join

You will need the free program TeamViewer QuickJoin so you can see the lesson from my computer. You can download this program from the links at the bottom of this page.

Good Internet connection

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 Gmail account

I share my lesson materials with students by using Google Drive. It will be more convenient for you if I use your Gmail address for this. If you don’t have one, please sign-up.

Any kind of platform

You can have lessons from every platform apart from phones. You can have lessons via Windows PCs, Mac computers, Linux systems, Chromebooks and even tablets!

How my lessons work

Fully customised lessons

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.

Feedback on your English

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.

Communicative methodology

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.

Real-time classroom

See the lesson in real-time using TeamViewer. Experience interactive learning by seeing my computer screen on yours. A visual way of learning that’s better than just using Skype alone.

60-minute lessons

Get better value for your money in my system with 60-minute English lessons! Most online English teachers will only offer you 45 or 50 minute lessons. More learning value for money!

Listen to your lesson again

It’s possible to listen to your lesson again via an MP3 file which I will share with you after the lesson. Helps you to understand more about your pronunciation and native speaker language.

Accessing lesson files

I will make a Google Drive folder and share it with you via Gmail. You can access all lesson files and materials from the folder. All lesson materials will be securely stored in the cloud!

Choose webcam or not

In my lessons, you can choose if you want to use a webcam in the lesson or not. During a lesson we can use the TeamViewer webcam which is a small window in the bottom of the screen.
