What students say
About 6 years ago, despite my age, I had the dream of learning English in my life. I found Jonathan’s name by accident. My request to him was to learn without the stress of learning vocabulary, so Jonathan found a way fitting to me, to do just that. I learned in conversations with him to speak fluently, also checking the grammar. He supports my learning with the perfect mix of encouragement, feedback and practical tips.
I don’t need to feel stressed about the mistakes I make. His lessons are always very interesting and funny too. Jonathan is an excellent teacher and his teaching method really works. I am very thankful for such a good and kind teacher and I’m waiting for more interesting conversations. When I was in Kent for 2 weeks last Christmas, I was able to test what I had learned. Now I am very happy to feel very comfortable with my English.
Maria, Switzerland
General English Case Study
I was contacted by a learner in her seventies from Switzerland who had a very personal goal. Her daughter had married a British man, and she felt completely “lost” during family gatherings in the UK. Unable to keep up with conversations, she felt isolated from her new relatives.
To make matters more challenging, a previous accident had affected her ability to concentrate for long periods. She asked if we could start with just 30-minute sessions to see if she could manage.
Because my coaching is entirely flexible, we started slowly. What began as a trial became a six-year teaching relationship. As her confidence grew, our 30-minute lessons naturally evolved into full 60-minute sessions.
The Result: Maria’s relationship with her British in-laws was completely transformed. What was once a source of stress became a joy. Conversations began to flow naturally, and she was finally able to build deep, lasting bonds with her new family members.
