Native English Tutor ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ | Speak Naturally & Confidently | TESOL Certified Hi! I'm John, a TESOL-certified native English tutor from the United States with seven years of online teaching experience. Over the years, I've worked with students from many different countries and backgrounds. Some of my students simply want to speak English more confidently, have natural conversations, correct the mistakes they've been making for years, and finally feel comfortable expressing themselves. Others need English for work, job interviews, international travel, studying abroad, IELTS or TOEFL exams, or professional communication. Whatever your reason for learning English, my goal is to help you communicate clearly, confidently, and naturally. One of my biggest passions is aviation, and I'm currently learning to fly myself. I've also worked with many pilots and aviation professionals who needed to improve their English for their careers. Teaching students from such different professional and cultural backgrounds has taught me how important it is to adapt lessons to the individual rather than use the same method with everyone. Outside of teaching, I enjoy traveling, aviation, going to the gym, sports, movies, history, and learning about different cultures. I especially enjoy meeting people from around the world, so we'll always have plenty to talk about during our lessons.

John is the best teacher, period! Learning with John never feels like studying. Our conversations are always interesting, relaxed, and enjoyable, and the time flies by every single lesson. He's patient, attentive, and notices every detail, making sure to correct everything that needs improving while explaining it in a way that's easy to understand. I always leave each lesson feeling that I've learned something valuable. Highly recommended!

Amazing as usual! One of my favorites native tutors so far, one of the few people who can lead the lesson and let me focus on my speaking and not on the control ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป

John is by far one of the best teachers on Italki! He helped me prepare for my TOEFL exam, and in just a few months, I went from an average school level in English to being able to speak with confidence. He is very patient and kind, creating a comfortable atmosphere for speaking. His lessons are always tailored to address your weak points, making every session productive and effective. Each of his lessons strikes the perfect balance between professionalism and a friendly atmosphere. It's always a pleasure to have classes with him. I highly recommend him!

John is the the best! He exactly knows your areas to improve and is easily to improve your English and pronunciation with him. I'm really learning how to understand American accent. He is so friendly and you feel confortable so is even easier to practice English in his classes
