My Students Get The Job
Beyond Fluency - Master the Confidence to Own the Room
You need more than just fluency. In high-stakes interviews, international meetings or critical exams like the IELTS, you need the knowledge, confidence and clarity to achieve your desired outcome and command respect while speaking English.
The current standard online language education path is a 'Hunger Games' trap. You've seen the slick advertising from the big platforms – the "Perps." The truth is it's a system built on disposable 'independent contractors', essentially sub-contractors, to work on the front. There are no 'happy families of tutors' as their ads would have you believe. These tributes are forced to deliver compliant and standardized lessons built on 'woke newspeak' through a tactic of divide and conquer and/or being made redundant. The reality is not what you see in the ads - for thousands of people. This is a framework designed for control, profit and churn-and-burn – not your mastery.
That's where I come in and why I am here. I'm Jon Kurt, an Executive English Coach and Founding Vanguard of the Language Liberation Movement. After earning 18 five-star reviews in under a month on a major platform, an unfair exit forced me to launch this independent fortress – JonEnglishTutor.com – a truly fair platform built on integrity, not algorithms. Here, I offer you a strategic partnership that builds a genuine connection, ensuring you feel supported and valued, not lost on some corporate website. My mission is to ensure your investment delivers real-world results.
