Jonathan Race
Hello, my name’s Jonathan, nice to meet you. I’ve been teaching English for around 4 years now and specialise in teaching business English online.
I love my job, I love my students and I love helping each one achieve their goals.
Background
I am a native (British) English speaker born in Hereford (UK) and currently live in Nottingham.
Having taught in China as well as the UK, I have extensive experience teaching students from a wide range of backgrounds as well as being TEFL-certified.
Each lesson is tailored specifically to each individual student and the priority of the lesson is on achieving the student’s goals, effectively and efficiently.
Languages
Language Progress
I originally started learning Mandarin when I lived in China. Although I still practise, Japanese has overtaken as my main second language.
Favorite Study Methods
- ANKI – to learn vocabulary and memorise grammar concepts
- Movies / TV – to practise listening
- Games / News App – to practise reading
- Friends – I stay in regular contact with to practise my writing and speaking.
Interests
I am an avid reader and my topics of choice are usually related to linguistics, psychology and business. As well as keeping the website updated I also write for JIMMYESL on various topics relating to teaching strategies and grammar.
