A few words

About me

Welcome to English with Jeff B! I am Jeff, a native New Yorker from the United States.

My teaching style focuses on creating lessons that fit your personal needs and ​learning style. I listen closely to understand your goals and challenges, making sure ​every session is both informative and interesting. Whether you’re aiming to improve ​your English for daily conversations or preparing for a test, I’m here to guide you.

For those working on IELTS preparation, I provide customized study plans, practice ​sessions, and speaking test simulations. Having helped many students achieve their ​desired scores, I know how to help you navigate the test and feel confident. We’ll focus ​on the strategies and skills that will give you the best chance at success.

For students interested in general English or conversation practice, I offer sessions ​that explore topics relevant to you. We’ll cover global cultures, current events, or ​anything that sparks your interest. In both one-on-one or group meetings, I aim to ​help you build confidence and fluency in a supportive environment.

Whether you need help with IELTS or just want to improve your communication skills, ​my goal is to help you feel more confident and capable with the English language. ​Let’s learn together!
