About Me

Do you need to speak better English? Would you like to sound more like a native, fluent speaker? Do you need to improve your confidence speaking? I can help!
My name is Jay. I am 29 years old and I'm originally from Ireland. I grew up in Dublin and lived there for 23 years. I have also spent the last five years living and working in Canada. Travel has always been important to me and I love talking with people from around the world.
I've spent the last year travelling Asia, and currently I live in Bali, Indonesia.
My interests include photography, reading and writing, film, computers and technology. I have worked in many different industries, and I also own a sustainability business.
Me as a Teacher
I have completed TEFL training and I have three years' experience teaching English in person. I also have two university degrees in Engineering and Mathematics, and I have taught mathematics for one year.
As a teacher, I am very patient and easy going. I will make sure that you fully understand the lesson material and have fun doing it!
My lessons & teaching style
All lessons are fully customised to you. Before our first lesson, we can have a quick chat and discuss your needs. What do you need to work on most? Is it grammar? Do you want a wider vocabulary? Or would you like to improve your accent to be more fluent? I will provide lessons specific to YOUR needs.
In our lesson, I will share notes for you to read. These will include:
- Corrections to your speech,
- New vocabulary,
- Pronunciation corrections,
- Grammar improvements,
- New idioms and expressions etc.
You can then access these notes whenever you want!
Whatever your level or desired pace, I can give you the tools you need to become a fluent English speaker! Chat soon!

Jay is very good at helping with interview preparation and writing CV and Cover Latter. I sent my CV and Cover Latter to 5 employers, three of them answered and two scheduled an interview. Thanks Jay!

It was another fruitful class that I cultivated a lot from. Throughout the lesson, Jay proofread my writing and corrected it both grammatically and idiomatically. I always appreciate his earnest approach to teaching.

It was a really great lesson! I like the way Jay make corrections in a shared Google document. It is an extremely benefical approach to review all the corrections made during a lesson.
