In-Depth Profiles
English Literacy & Literature, Admission Consultant
Mr Johann
If I asked you "Would you like to live in a box?" you would most certainly respond, "no!" But why is it that so many students think inside the box and rely on spoon feeding? After all, there is no such place as Boxford University.
Hi! I'm Johann, an Oxford graduate, and polyglot language enthusiast. I first taught through the British Council language assistant program when I worked in a French secondary school (Lycee de Charles de Gaulle). After graduating from Oxford University, I taught as a freelance English teacher working for three companies in Bologna and Florence. Later, I taught an 8-year old Russian boy English, mathematics, and science to prepare him for his Keystage 2 tests. I have over 2 years of experience teaching English in South Korea and around 6 years in Hong Kong.
At secondary school I studied Latin, French, German, and Spanish. I also studied Italian and Russian at the language center in Oxford whilst I was studying French and German (Modern Languages). During my BA/MA studies at Christ Church College, Oxford, I focused mainly on analysing literature (60%) and on translation and essay writing.
In addition to teaching, I have over six years of experience working as a freelance translator for companies like Amazon Srl. I would therefore be more than happy to teach you how to translate texts or how to analyse literary texts.
In Hong Kong, I have helped prepare several students for school entry exams and interviews, ranging from kindergarten at GSIS to 14/15 year olds at CIS and ESF. Besides school students, I have assisted IELTS students with their exam preparation. If it's English, I can teach it.
