About Me

Hi! Thanks for checking my page. I am a teacher and writer from California but I’ve been living in New York City for twelve years teaching and mentoring young adults.

I’m teaching “Interesting English” – a way to improve English for medium and advanced students through structured conversations about interesting topics. Usually when you practice language all you think about is the language, but I think that if you are drawn into an interesting discussion and you desire to say something that you feel passionate about while enjoying the conversation, that it helps the language to get a little deeper into your mind. The whole time I am coaching, guiding, helping with vocab, grammar & pronunciation and keeping the discussion moving forward. With the international roll call of students here there are many interesting perspectives to discover during the class.

I’m writing my first full length book right now. I did some radio broadcasting when I was younger so I have a very clear and warm voice that you will enjoy during the classes.

nadia sol Jeffrey’s classes I have attended were very valuable for me. He brings well-chosen newspaper texts with contemporary issues into the classroom. He chooses different kinds of genres. As learners we are exposed to useful models of contemporary and authentic written English, rich in collocations and latest vocabulary and idioms.

Mag A Jeff is a great English teacher!!. My goal is to gain fluency and confidence in speaking English and Jeff is helping me a lot on achieving this goal. I have been living and studying in US but talking with Americans was always difficult for me, Jeff is helping me to speak more confidently. Jeff have two teaching techniques and I will recommend both, one is making you read some news and working on new vocabulary as well as in pronunciation, the other is talking about controversial and interesting issues as you were having a conversation with a friend (this is my favorite).
