As an English as a Second Language student, writing in English has always been challenging for me. I came across John’s profile more than a year ago. His extensive editing experience, knowledge of my native Russian language, and linguistic background caught my attention. He was able to explain “why,” in grammatical terms, and clearly articulate the comparison between the two languages. My ability to express my thoughts in writing improves after every review of my editor’s comments. In addition to the grammar suggestions, John makes every effort to help me with the logic and clarity of my work. He also provides incredible sources for my further writing and linguistic advancement. John’s assistance has exceeded my expectations and transformed me into a confident writer.
I highly recommend his services to anyone who needs help with grammar, editing, or logical coherence of any style of writing––John can do it all! He is an incredibly knowledgeable, patient, affirmative, and reliable educator.

Our captivating discussions with John are always high quality. His skills in psychology and linguistics increase my self-confidence because I have a chance to talk to such a deep and interesting person. To be honest, I consider our meetings not as lessons but rather as self-development. The rest of the day is always good after our conversations with John.

I’ve been working with John on my English for months. John is a very passionate and professional English tutor. He is good at making conversation with his students, highly flexible with topics, and he knows many ways of tutoring. Also, he is very sensitive to the small grammar, pronunciation, and English usage mistakes. The best thing I work with John is I feel like chatting with an American friend, not an English tutor!

I was initially impressed with John Belmont’s enthusiasm, communication skills, and professional approach as a tutor. During more than six months, John has consistently demonstrated all the qualities needed to be an effective tutor and more.
John is reliable, dedicated, and eternally upbeat—these characteristics help strengthen your pronunciation, raise your level of understanding of grammar, and clarify your writing. He has a perfect grasp of the English language, and he has consistently met, or surpassed, all my expectations while always being very flexible with his time.
John is a hardworking and top-performing professional tutor. He has my highest recommendation, and I am happy to furnish more details if you would like additional information.

John helped me to improve my counterargument essay. I am an international student, and I don’t speak well. He is very patient and interested in my ideas. He is very thoughtful. He even took notes and then gave them to me later. I really appreciate him. I highly recommend this tutor.
