Professional Educator ~ 5 years experience Hi! My name is John, and I teach English here at Italki. I'm originally from the United States and I'm currenly living in Mexico City, where I study economics and teach English in-person. I love traveling, talking about culture, history, and languages, photography, and music. I also love to cook, but for your health and safety, I'm not going to share. Before moving to Mexico, I got my degree in social studies education and taught in an American high school for four years. I use this experience - plus my TEFL certification - in my private English lessons to create engaging material for A0 - C1 students. I don't believe that copy/paste teaching is effective, so I craft each lesson to the needs of each student. In our first lesson, we'll discuss your language level, interests, and goals, which lets me create personalized lessons that will as practical as possible.

John is a brilliant teacher with great observation of a lot of things happen in our society. He understands the basic and common rationale underlying ordinary and subtle things that you may ignore, and uses his language to put it logically.

He speaks very naturally and adapts his English to the student’s level. His extensive teaching experience really shows, and I felt very comfortable speaking English throughout the lesson. I really enjoyed the class!
