About Jonathan
Hi there! I'm Jonathan, and I'm passionate about helping students discover their potential through language and literature. Whether you're mastering English as a second language, preparing for college, or diving deep into dramatic works, I bring empathy and respect to every lesson. What drives me most is that incredible moment when a student realizes they can do something they couldn't do before. Beyond teaching, I've spent over a decade in marketing and advertising, which has given me unique insights into clear communication and audience awareness - skills I love sharing with my students. I hold a Bachelor's degree from NYU in Secondary English Education with minors in Spanish and Linguistics. My teaching journey spans 15+ years across diverse settings and age groups: • ESL classroom instructor for adults in Brooklyn (2008-2009) • College prep composition for at-risk teens in NYC (2008-2009) • Summer English program for high school students in Kwangju, South Korea (2007) • One-on-one conversational English tutoring in Madrid, Spain (2006) • Student teaching and classroom assistance through NYU coursework (2004-2008) From 2009-2020, I designed and delivered training programs for marketing and advertising agencies, creating PowerPoint presentations, courses, and follow-up assessments to ensure knowledge retention.

My approach is rooted in progressive pedagogy from my NYU training, which emphasizes active learning, student-teacher interaction, and understanding each student's complete experience. I put empathy at the center of my practice and consider the whole person - not just their academic needs.
I work best with older students who are ready to engage with ideas, not just memorize facts. I have particular success with students who may have struggled in traditional classroom settings because I believe in meeting then where they are and building from their strengths. I approach every student as someone with valuable perspectives and untapped potential. This respectful, collaborative approach consistently yields results.
My lessons are flexible and tailored to your goals. Whether you need help with:
• English as a Second Language (ESL)
• Literature analysis and discussion
• College prep composition
• Drama and creative writing
• Conversational English skills
I offer both online and in-person sessions (at your location) with a schedule that works around your life - I'm available Sunday through Saturday, morning through evening.
Ready to unlock your potential? Book with me and let's start your journey toward confident, powerful communications in English!
