Jon is the best teacher I have ever met! He is energetic all the time and pays lots of attention to kid’s reaction.
He change his class style according to my kid’s interests. My kid is very young. He is only 3 years old and was mind absent on the first class. In the second class Teacher Jon changed his class style and my kid became soooooo interested in his class in the 30 minutes!
Thanks so much! I finally get some confidence to go on the online classes for my kid.

I’m very grateful to Teacher Jon for his brilliant classes. My son 5,3 years old has started English lessons 5 months ago. It is his first experience to communicate with a person not speaking his mother tongue. The materials Teacher Jon provides are diverse, the tasks are always interesting. Teacher Jon has plenty of tricks to keep attention of my active boy and I really appreciate that English day by day becomes an essential part of my son's life.
