John helped us by believing in our dream from the very beginning. He has not only been our English teacher, but also a true friend and a key part of our business journey. Throughout the years, he has supported our restaurants in countless ways—bringing in clients, recommending our business, encouraging us, and celebrating each of our achievements as if they were his own. His support has been fundamental to our growth, and we are incredibly grateful to have him in our lives!

Taking private Business English classes with John was one of the best decisions I made early in my professional journey. He helped me understand the cultural nuances of professional communication in the U.S. — from interviews to everyday business conversations. Every country has its own unspoken codes, and John guided me with clarity and warmth so I could adjust my tone, language, topics, and approach to connect authentically and build real rapport with people from around the world.

Learning English with Chilingual helped me to open the biggest gay sex club in Spain! Because I learned a foreign tongue so well, I can easily negotiate with male clients from around the world to put their foreign tongues in all sorts of places.

John was my teacher in Chicago more than twenty years ago, and we still remain friends! I am so grateful for learning English with him because I live and work in the cosmopolitan city of Barcelona. Here, I need to speak English every day with international guests at my hotel, or with customers at my restaurant. John's sense of humor and knowledge of Spanish help to make him a memorable teacher!
