Practical training. Daily communication. Professional results.

Jack Barry

 provides English language training.
He takes an integrated approach (all-in-one), connecting
language training with daily communication.

How We’ll Work Together

I believe the teacher’s role is to activate learning by creating situations that challenge the speaker in different environments,
leading to a feeling of success and greater confidence.

My sessions focus on active engagement, practical training, and connecting language learning with daily
communication as well as professional needs.

I will keep learning clear, interactive, and tailored — and yes, enjoyable too.
