Hello!

Hello, my name is John from Australia. I hold a Bachelor and a Master of Education, along with TESOL /TEFL certifications and IDP IELTS Teacher Training. I have been teaching English, to ESL students since 2016, focusing on IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, and academic English both online and at Inlingua School of Languages. Before that, I taught engineering certificate courses to senior high school students, as well as in industry which gave me a strong foundation in technical and vocational education. My background allows me to connect education with real-world applications, helping students succeed academically and professionally.

As a teacher, I bring patience, professionalism, and decades of experience to every lesson. I understand the challenges learners face, as I am also learning a language. I provide clear guidance and encouragement to help students achieve their goals. I specialize in exam preparation, academic English, business studies, and interview preparation, but we can also have a general conversation. My students appreciate that I combine structured teaching with a supportive approach, making learning both effective and enjoyable. I believe in building confidence step by step, so learners feel motivated and capable of reaching their targets.

Teaching Style

Learning a language goes beyond grammar, spelling, and vocabulary. It’s about connecting with real experiences and culture. I draw on my background of living in English-speaking environments to bring lessons to life, showing students practical and enjoyable ways to learn. My approach blends structured practice with authentic conversation, because speaking naturally with a skilled teacher is one of the most effective ways to build confidence and improve your English.
