Acerca de mí
Profesor de italki desde 19 de Mar de 2021Tema de interésSalud
Mi misión en la vida es la misma que creo que tenemos todos: amar, servir, compartir experiencias, educar, inspirar y ser catalizadores de transformaciones positivas en las vidas de los demás, siendo humildes y evitando el pecado mortal del orgullo: creernos mejores que los demás y olvidar que todo lo que tenemos en la vida es un don que nos ha sido concedido desde arriba. Tan gratuitamente como hemos recibido, gratuitamente debemos dar. ¿Te esfuerzas, como yo, por ser una buena persona, a pesar de tus fracasos, de las batallas morales y de los dilemas de la vida? ¿Eres humilde, abierto y tienes sed de crecer? Entonces emprendamos juntos lo que deseo que sea un viaje transformador de intercambio y aprendizaje ;)Mostrar idioma original
Yo como profesor
Me considero primero estudiante y después profesor, porque la vida es un viaje de aprendizaje perenne desde el momento en que nacemos hasta que exhalamos el último suspiro. Dejar de aprender sería "envejecer" en el verdadero sentido de la palabra. Creo que eres tan maestro como yo, porque de tus experiencias y encuentros vitales tengo tanto que aprender de ti como tú de mí. Dicho esto, tengo la suerte de haber tenido una gran experiencia en la vida y una trayectoria de 15 años como profesional de la educación enseñando a niños desde secundaria hasta adultos. Por favor, consulte mi sección "Curriculum Vitae" para más detalles sobre mi formación educativa y profesional. Mis clases y método de enseñanza
Sea cual sea el tipo de clase, mi objetivo sigue siendo el mismo: maximizar tu inversión y tu tiempo. He alcanzado lo que se denomina "competencia" en español exclusivamente a través del auto-estudio, por lo tanto puedo empatizar con lo que está pasando como estudiante de idiomas, y tengo el know-how para llegar a la cima de la montaña de la lengua inglesa. Idealmente, sólo utilizaremos las clases para cubrir cosas que no puedes hacer por tu cuenta, como la interacción oral y auditiva con un hablante nativo y profesional de inglés. En cuanto al estilo, mi objetivo es llenarte de confianza, energía positiva y eterno optimismo. Juntos, si AMBOS estamos entregados a tu causa, ¡LO LOGRAREMOS! ;)Certificados

Experiencia laboral
2006 - 2006
English TeacherThis was my first teaching job after completing my CELTA. It was a steep learning curve, but at the end of it all I have nothing, but sweet memories of learning the ropes with some very wise & knowledgeable teachers, & meeting a super group of students from all across the globe. After class, we would be involved in the "social programme" & take them all across London. I left this post after receiving a job offer to teach in Colombia, which was my dream destination, and would become my new home!
2006 - 2007
English TeacherThis was the language institute where I cut my teeth as a teacher of English as a Second Language in the salsa capital of the world, Cali, Colombia! Cali is one of the three big cities of Colombia after Bogotá the capital and Medellín. It has a population of around 3 million people. The weather is tropical, hot, and humid! Most of the students were adults, but on a Saturday we would regularly be required to take charge of school-aged children. Levels right from beginner all the way to advanced.
2007 - 2015
English Language and Literature TeacherOne of the reasons I came to Colombia is that I had read it was possible to teach at private bilingual schools for minors with just a bachelor's and a teaching certificate for adults. This idea appealed to me more than spending another year at uni in order to get a PGCE! The stars lined up for me, and I was offered this job as almost a complete rookie with school-aged children! Here I learnt that I was passionate about teaching in all its forms including Literature and Writing in English.
2016 - 2017
Middle School English Writing TeacherThis was an interim position that I took after taking a sabbatical year off work as a contracted teacher to pursue personal interests such as writing, which was my first passion in terms of language. At school from a young age, my teachers had regularly commented that they felt I had a gift for the written word! It was different when I spoke. I would often stutter and be unable to get the right words out due to nerves and a perfectionist nature! Another job offer would take me to pastures new!
2017 - 2020
English Language and Literature TeacherWelcome to the City of Eternal Spring, Medellín, the second most populous city in Colombia with approximately 4 million inhabitants if you include the entire metropolitan area which is actually called "el Valle de Aburrá". My mother is from the Fiji Islands, I was born in Hong Kong where I lived for the first 11 years of my life. Also spent 9 years in the Middle East. I've experienced some good weather around the world, but nothing comes close to Medellín: never too hot or cold - thank God! ;)
2010 - 2017
Cambridge/IELTS Oral Examiner and InvigilatorThis experience gives me inside knowledge of how to get through standardised English tests such as IELTS, and Cambridge Main Suite. However, once one understands how one standardised English test works, one understands them all, at least to some degree, because much of the knowledge, know-how, and exam technique, is cross-applicable from one standardised English test to another.

Jay always gives me the best lessons. He can notice all my confusions and mistakes, and guides me patiently. Instead of giving a straight answer, he always help me to think. It does a lot of benefits in the process of language learning. I am on top of the world to have he as a teacher and a friend!😇😇😇😇😇😇

A very informative lesson. Thank you for the interesting conversation about health. Sometimes I forget that you are from another country and speak another language.
Have a good day! ))

Last Friday, I had another excellent class with J.C.!! It's always pleasant to end my week having a good conversation with him! It's much more than an English class. I feel very comfortable talking with J.C., and I always learn a lot because he is very patient, explains very well, and does his best to his students! Furthermore, I have been broadening my vocabulary since when I took my first class with him! Thank you, J.C!! See you next week!
