Where you are now → Where you want to go

Your English is blocking you,
and you want to do something about it.

Most people I work with aren't beginners. They're capable adults whose English is good enough to get by, but not good enough to get ahead.

Right now

Is this you?

You want to speak in conversations, but the words don't come.
You're sure that you're making mistakes, but you're not sure what.
You had English classes in school, but you feel like it wasn't enough.
You've studied for years, but feel like nothing has really changed.
You honestly aren't sure what to do next.

You engage in conversation confidently.
You speak clearly, correctly, and naturally.
You know exactly what to train and practice, and why.
You know where you are and where you are going.
Your progress has a purpose and a direction.

Who I am

Hi! I'm Jericho.

Learning English is a lot like training at the gym: progress comes from consistent practice and quality repetitions over time, not from one short burst of motivation.

The more regularly you use and train your English, the more natural and automatic it becomes. My role is to guide, train, and coach you. The habits you build between our sessions are what turn into real, lasting progress.

I'm a native English speaker from Toronto, Canada, and I'm also fluent in French. I've been teaching and tutoring on iTalki since 2017, coming from a background in the arts, social service work, and literature and philosophy studies.

Outside of work, I play guitar, compose and perform music, spend time working out, and travel whenever I can. I'm curious about almost everything and I enjoy a deep conversation on virtually any topic, which, conveniently, also happens to be excellent language practice.

One note: I work with adults. I don't have specialized training for teaching children.

Let's jump in and get moving.

Say hello

Message me on iTalki. Tell me where you are and where you want to go with your English.

Take a trial session

A paid trial at a reduced rate. We talk, I listen to your English properly, and together we figure out what's actually holding you back and what we can do to move forward.

Train and practice, week by week

We get into a routine. All session notes are kept in a shared Google Doc, and you get access to The Hub for additional resources and practice between sessions.
