What Kind of Teacher/Coach is John Freeman?

If you’re wondering what it’s like to work with me, let me give you a glimpse of my teaching style and what you can expect from our sessions.

Every teacher or coach has their unique approach, and here’s mine:

Relaxed and Informal

Learning English doesn’t have to feel like a chore. My lessons are relaxed and informal because I believe that people learn best when they’re comfortable. You can expect a friendly, welcoming atmosphere where it’s okay to make mistakes—in fact, that’s part of the process! There’s no judgment here, just support and encouragement.

Lighthearted and Fun

I bring a sense of humour and fun to our sessions. Yes, we’re here to work hard and achieve your goals, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the journey. Expect engaging activities, lively conversations, and a few laughs along the way. After all, if you’re having fun, you’re more likely to stay motivated.

Dedicated and Tenacious

When I say I’m dedicated to your success, I mean it. I’ll do whatever it takes to help you reach your goals. If one method doesn’t work, we’ll try another. I’ll adapt, problem-solve, and keep pushing until we find what works best for you. Giving up is not an option.

Prompt and Diligent

Your time is valuable, and I respect that. I’m always prompt, prepared, and ready to dive into each session. You can count on me to follow through on everything we discuss, whether it’s providing feedback, answering questions, or preparing tailored materials.

Extremely Well-Organised and Efficient

I take organisation seriously. Every lesson is meticulously planned to ensure it aligns with your goals and overall course objectives. I keep track of your progress, adapt lessons as needed, and make sure every session runs smoothly. Efficiency is key—we make the most of every minute.

Deeply Empathic

For me, teaching is about more than just language—it’s about connection. I feel a deep sense of responsibility for every learner who trusts me to guide them. I strive to understand your challenges, celebrate your victories, and walk with you every step of the way.

100% Commitment… From Both of Us

Here’s the deal: I put in 100% effort, and I expect you to do the same. If you’re ready to commit, work hard, and stay consistent, we’ll make an incredible team. Your progress is my priority, but it’s a partnership—we both need to show up and give it our all.

Final Thoughts

So, what kind of teacher am I? I’m someone who cares deeply about your success, brings a sense of fun to learning, and works tirelessly to help you achieve your goals.
