Hi, I'm Jack.

​

I'm from south of London, UK, teaching English to teenagers and young adults.

As a native speaker, my classes go beyond grammar and improving your grades at school or university: I also prepare families who are planning to move to England with the relevant slang, idioms and etiquette so they can easily integrate into their new community.

​

My classes are customised to your needs and challenges with an emphasis on speaking freely and being able to lead a conversation with confidence.

​

I teach 1to1, groups, and holiday camps. In person and online via Skype lessons.

​

You can contact me for lessons directly or through the teaching platform Verbal Planet, among others.

Speak freely!

Have fun.

Boost your confidence.

About Me

Born in 1989, I grew up south of London, in the lovely South Downs National Park. It was during my studies at Plymouth University that I started tutoring, discovering my love for teaching which I made my profession after graduating in 2012.

​

I went on to travel, teaching teenagers and young adults from all over the world in small groups, big classes or themed holiday camps.

​

Since moving to Germany in 2016, I have additionally been teaching students on a 1to1 basis, including online Skype lessons.

Teaching Methods

Having

Fun

​

I firmly believe that learning a language should be a fun and engaging experience. Not only does it help with staying motivated but it also reduces mental blocks and frustrations that might already be associated with the subject.

 

I regularly find that when my students have fun learning English, they open up to the language, become more receptive and the noticeable improvements motivate them further.

Customised

Content

​

To meet my students' needs and goals and address their individual challenges, I customise each lesson plan and the teaching materials accordingly.

 

Whether a student needs to be prepared for an exam, improve their grammatical foundation, get out of their shell and participate more in class, or needs to build specific vocabulary for work, I will create and adapt the necessary lesson content to get the best possible results.

Building Confidence

​

I specialise in helping students build confidence in their abilities which increases their participation in school and continuously decreases potential learning gaps to the rest of the class.

 

My classes create a safe space for experimenting with the language which particularly helps shy students to feel more comfortable speaking up and to realise that nothing bad happens if you make a mistake in class.

 

To achieve this, I focus on my students' interests and hobbies and I love coming up with inventive activities and games designed to get them chatting.
