Hi,

My name is Jake, I'm originally from Chicago, but I live in Istanbul where I have taught English at university to first-year students for the past 7 years. I have a TEFL Certificate and a BA in photography from Colombia College Chicago. I've been teaching for eleven years and I have experience working with all levels of learners from kids to adults

I strive to create engaging lessons that address my students specific needs whether they be speaking, reading, writing, grammar or listening. I have a strong interest in music, art, history, science and literature and I try to incorporate material that applies to them all.

My hobbies include playing bass and guitar, djing, travel, photography, cooking, reading, cycling and juggling just to name a few.

If you would like to talk and get to know me before committing to lessons feel free to contact me and we can come up with a plan that applies to what you want to work on.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.
