Welcome to A-1 International English School

Learning English should be as simple and natural as having a good conversation.

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

What I teach is the difference between knowing the rules and actually playing the game — the kind of English you use naturally, every day.

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

👉 Book your lessons anytime — pay as you go.

🗣️ What You’ll Learn at A-1 International English School

Learning English here isn’t about memorizing grammar rules — it’s about learning to speak naturally and confidently, just like native speakers do.

At A-1, you’ll discover how to:

💬 Speak Naturally

Use everyday expressions, idioms, and slang the way Americans really talk. Learn how to start, maintain, and finish conversations smoothly — from casual chats to friendly debates.

🔊 Sound More American

Master pronunciation, rhythm, and tone so your speech flows naturally. Understand contractions and reductions like gonna, wanna, and y’know — the sounds you actually hear in real life.

🎧 Understand Real Conversations

Train your ear to catch natural, fast, and informal English. Practice listening to real voices, accents, and conversations — not textbook recordings.

🌎 Talk Like a Local

Learn what’s polite, funny, or friendly in American culture. Feel confident chatting about work, travel, hobbies, or everyday life without sounding “too formal.”

🤝 Build Confidence

Practice real conversation in a relaxed one-on-one lesson. Focus on fluency, not perfection — and enjoy learning English that’s useful every day.


⭐ The Goal

To help you speak English with confidence — not like a student, but like yourself.
