If you asked "What do you cook when you have guests?", you'd understand that the answer would be different for my teenage son's friends coming to watch a Barça match than for Christmas Eve with the neighbour, a chef who trained with Ferran Adrià - the most famous Spanish-guy-in-a-kitchen in 50 years. Same thing here; bring me your needs and objectives, then we'll choose a methodology that works for you.

I’ve been taking John’s English classes for the past few months that included engineering concepts, business management and also specific preparation for the Cambridge CAE exam. For me, the experience has been good because I’ve really improved my level of English. John really understands how to help students to improve their English and has help me to make important advances. His classes are challenging, creative and fun.
I've been doing English classes with John in Barcelona for 3 years. They were fun and dynamic and very focused on my interests. He's patient and explains things easily and simply. For me, John has been the best teacher I've had, the only one who has made me learn the language.
I've been working with John in Barcelona over the past 3 years or so, primarily on communication techniques & terminology for my professional activity.
Speaking as a chartered engineer with an MBA from one of the world's top business schools, I have to say I was impressed with his comfort in both the technical and business fields; though we haven't always agreed on how I should be structuring specific presentations, his input and guidance have been a breath of fresh air, and we'll certainly continue our collaboration in the future.
I've been doing English classes with John for 5 years here in Barcelona and I am very happy with the results I have obtained. He has organized and improved my knowledge, using his ingenuity so that the classes are dynamic, fun and above all effective, day after day. He also has a great sense of humor and that makes the classes more enjoyable.
I have taken classes with various teachers throughout my life but now I realize that John is the one that I've really learned with.
We run a family business in a very competitive market, so I need to have my English precise and fresh; that's why I will undoubtedly continue to do classes with him.John is an excellent teacher with a great grasp the different technicalities related to our sector. We are a metal foundry, (Fundición Inyectada M.Bretons, S.L.) and over the past 15 years John has always known how to teach us the English necessary for our business operations. Additionally he has perfectly translated all the technical documentation related to our production. We continue to collaborate and look forward to doing so in the future.
