About me
Do you want to have fun learning English? Are you looking for somebody who will teach you more than just vocabulary and grammar? And do you want a teacher who you can actually expect results with? Well, you've come to the right place!
My name is Jack (though I'm better known as Jay) and I'm a certified English teacher from New Zealand. I have over five years of experience teaching English to people from a wide range of different ages. Adults, high school students, primary school students, Venezuelans, Chinese - you name it!
I'm a dedicated and passionate teacher, and my mission is to see every student of mine achieve their goals. Your goal is my goal, and classes are specifically designed for us to reach that goal. I teach conversation skills, Business English, Kids English, grammar, speaking, writing, listening and reading. I will do whatever it takes to help you achieve your goal, and with me as your teacher, you can expect to see results.
Lessons for adults are one hour long. I also teach lessons to children and teenagers. These lessons can be 25 minutes or 50 minutes long.
So if you want (your child) to improve or learn English, then please book a trial lesson with me today. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Jay has been an outstanding English teacher for my son Zeno (10). He has a remarkable ability to engage him in an original and proactive way, always finding creative approaches to spark his interest and connect with his passions. Jay is highly knowledgeable and professional, and he designs lessons that are consistently interactive and stimulating. Since Zeno started learning with him, he has finally begun to feel comfortable with English and to experience it as something familiar rather than intimidating. Beyond being an excellent teacher, Jay is always available and flexible, ready to accommodate any request. He also adapted his lessons to prepare Zeno for a specific event, showing a level of collaboration and dedication that is truly exceptional!

I'm happy I chose Jay as my teacher. He's very knowledgeable, kind, and friendly. After just one month, I feel more confident speaking English thanks to him. I especially recommend him to shy people who are afraid to speak English.

My specialties
Conversational English
Currently helping several upper beginner, intermediate and advanced students with their conversational skills. All of them have made good progress so far.In addition, from 2014 to 2015 I was a tutor at Conversation Class, a free English class run by Equippers Church. The class focussed on speaking and conversation skills, and the students came from many different countries like China, Brazil, South Korea, Chile and Uzbekistan.
Business English
I am a qualified Business English teacher and have taught Business English to businessmen, engineers, senior executives and people who work in finance. I can teach you how to do presentations, manage and participate in meetings and make small talk with people.
IELTS
In the last couple of years, I have helped a number of students get excellent marks on their IELTS exams. I've also helped three students get the scores they needed to become permanent residents of New Zealand. One of my biggest strengths is helping people prepare for exams like IELTS.
English for beginners
I have taught at least seven beginners in the last four years. Three of them have made great progress since we started doing lessons. One of them has managed to get a new job and a promotion since he started doing lessons with me.
American English
Currently teaching American English to a German who lives in the USA, and I have also taught American English to one other student. In New Zealand, we are heavily exposed to American movies, TV shows and music, so we often know the American words for things and how to pronounce words the American way.
Intensive English
One of my students does lessons with me 6 days a week and I give him a lot of homework. He has improved so much in less than four months!
British English
I speak New Zealand English, which is similar to British English. The pronunciation is very similar, and you could say that New Zealand English is a type of British English.
English for traveling
I can teach you everything you need to know when traveling, such as what to say at the airport, what to say at a hotel and how to order meals at a restaurant.
English job interview prep
I have helped one student to get a job on a sailing expedition and another student to get a job as a civil engineer.In total, I have helped at least twelve students with job interview preparation in the last five years.
Cambridge ESOL: FCE, CAE, CPE...
I have helped many students prepare for the Cambridge First/B2 certificate and CAE. Most of them got scores on their exams. I am especially good at helping students with the speaking and writing parts of these exams.
