Welcome to A-1 International English School

Where learning English is as simple as having a good conversation.

I’m John, an American English teacher who helps people around the world build confidence through real conversation — not grammar drills or textbooks.

What I teach is the difference between knowing the rules and actually playing the game.
In other words, I focus on effective communication — helping you use what you learn naturally and confidently in real life.

Whether you want to improve your speaking, pronunciation, or just stay fluent, each lesson is a friendly chat focused on you.

This is what makes me different — and what sets me apart from all the rest.

👉 Book your lesson anytime — pay as you go.
